BASIC SET-UP OF FORKS
Recommended tools for the shock setup:
-
The SAG tool that came with your bike.
*Fox forks only
-
A shock pump with a special air valve connector (not supplied with this bike), this will
help stop air from escaping while removing the pump from the shock valve.
Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air
pressure, this will give the appearance that the shock has less air pressure than it was setup,
your shock may need to be adjusted once this action is made.
Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%.
For bikes spec’d with Fox forks:
You can find more specific information about Fox set
up on Fox’s website, please use your fork ID number

SAG
Your SCOTT bike will be supplied with a SAG tool to help set up your bikes suspension, these
SAG tools can be easily clipped on the fork body and Fork dust seal.
For the best performance it is recommended you start with SAG of 15-20% for forks.
1. Make sure before any adjustment is made that your forks are in the “open” position.
2. With the fork pump attached to the fork valve, pump your desired pressure into the fork.
Once the pressure is achieved slowly compress and decompress your fork through 25% of
its travel 10 times. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers and will change
the pressure on the pump gauge, if needed add or reduce pressure and repeat.
Note the compression/decompression of the fork through the travel must also be done
if the pressure is reduced!
3. Once your desired pressure is reached slide the rubber O-ring on the fork leg against the
dust seal, clip on your SAG tool if required.
4. Sit on your bike in your usual riding position (in your riding gear: if you carry a bag/
Hydration-system put it on,) don’t “bounce” the suspension while doing this, use a wall or
a friend for support if needed.
5. Get off the bike gently without bouncing and check the O-ring position on the fork
stanchion, with the SAG adjuster clipped on. This makes it easy to see where your SAG is
set. Example below.

IMPORTANT!
Do not sit on your bike with the shock pump
attached to the bike!
