CHANGING TRAVEL
Travel on your F-Series fork can be changed by rearranging the internal travel spacers. After changing travel check the fork for proper operation before
riding. If there is noticeable play in the fork or if it makes strange noises, disassemble the fork and check for complete number and correct orientation
of spacers.
F80 AND F100 FORKS CAN BE REDUCED IN TRAVEL AS SHOWN IN THE DRAWING ON PAGE
19. THE FORKS CANNOT BE INCREASED IN TRAVEL BEYOND THEIR ORIGINAL SETTING.

FLOAT Forx Air Piston Seal Kit (optional)
1. Remove the blue air cap from the top of the left fork leg. Let the air out of the fork (see
USING THE FOX HIGH PRESSURE AIR PUMP
on page 11 for
details on how to bleed air with the pump). Remove the left top cap with a 26mm socket 6-point socket wrench.
2. Loosen the bottom nut 3-4 turns with a 10mm wrench. With a plastic mallet, gently tap the bottom of the shaft to disengage it from the lower leg.
Allow oil to drain into a bucket. Remove the bottom nut and crush washer.
3. Compress the fork as much as possible. The air piston will be visible about one inch below the top of the upper tube. Push the bottom of the air shaft
upwards to push the air piston out of the top of the upper tube. Use a long thin shaft screwdriver to push the bottom of the air shaft up through the
hole in the bottom of the lower leg.
4. Pull the air-shaft assembly from the fork. Refer to the drawings on the next page and add or remove the appropriate spacer(s) to achieve the desired
travel.
SPACERS SNAP ONTO THE AIR SHAFT BETWEEN THE NEGATIVE SPRING GUIDE AND THE
TOPOUT PLATE. SEE THE 80MM CONFIGURATION ON THE NEXT PAGE.
5. Lubricate the U-cup seal on the air piston with FOX FLOAT Fluid and re-install the air shaft assembly into the upper tube. Push the shaft until it ap-
proaches the bottom hole of the fork. Do not push the shaft all the way through the bottom hole.
6. Turn the fork upside down. Measure and pour 30cc of FOX Suspension Fluid through the bottom hole.
