What is the basic set up?
Your shock has been set up for your bike, with a specific internal valving and air chamber volume. It is delivered with a pressure
of 80 to 100psi. You can find all the information about standard settings for your bike in the chartlist on the BOS website
bosmtb.com.
There is air leaking when I connect the high pressure pump, what can I do?
Check that your pump is correctly connecting to the valve shell. Make sure that the Shrader valve core is correctly tightened.
My shock is too stiff on the first inches of travel and / or the rebound is very fast. What can I do?
The two air chambers are not correctly equalized. Check out chapter 3.2 to see how to equalize your air chambers.
I added/removed anti-volume O-rings. Once reassembled, the shock stickers are not aligned. What can I do?
To be sure that the stickers will be correctly aligned, the rebound knob must be perfectly aligned with the air can stickers when
you start to screw the air chamber back in place. Check out chapter 3.5.
My shock has a slight negative travel. Is that normal?
The air spring of the KIRK is designed to obtain the best sensibility on the first inches of travel. As a result, on some types of
bikes, you may notice some negative travel.
Where can I purchase original stickers and valve cap?
You can purchase these items through your approved BOS center, or on the BOS store on bosmtb.com.
I noticed some play between my shock and the frame, what can I do?
Check that your mounting hardware is torqued to your manufacturer’s specifications. If it is, the rear shock mounting hardware
must be replaced. Contact an approved BOS service center, or connect on bosmtb.com.
My shock is compressing when I deflate it, is that normal?
When you deflate your shock from the air valve, you are only deflating the positive air chamber. The negative air chamber is still
pressurized and pulls on the shock’s shaft. If you want to avoid this, deflate step by step (30 to 40psi), and balance the air
chambers between each step (5 to 6 slow compressions and extensions over the first 11mm of the shock’s travel).
My shock makes a whistling or clicking sound when I compress it.
These sounds are normal to the functioning of the hydraulics when the rebound or low-speed compression circuit is closed or
almost closed. Check your settings and bring them closer to the base settings in your product’s user manual to reduce this noise.
