What psi should my FOX shock be?

250psi
If the shock body retracts into the air sleeve near bottom-out after the air is released from the positive chamber, attach a FOX high pressure pump and pressurize the shock to 250psi (17 bar). If the shock does not fully extend, it is in a “stuck down” condition.

Are Fox shocks adjustable?

The single adjustable option of Fox’s 2.0 Performance Series Reservoir Shocks allows you to adjust compression with 8 valving options with just a twist of a knob. With 8 clicks of compression adjust-ability you can set your shocks to meet your driving needs from very soft to very firm.

How do you adjust preload on Fox shocks?

FOX Shocks (if equipped)

1. Elevate the vehicle to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Loosen the jam nut and back it away from the adjusting ring.
3. Turn the adjusting ring to the left to add preload. Turn the adjusting ring to the right to remove preload.
4. Tighten the jam nut firmly against ring.

How much air do you put in RockShox?

Max pressure should not exceed 163 psi. Rebound suggestions are set from the full clockwise/full slow position. These suggestions are a recommended starting point. Your riding style, terrain, and bicycle geometry can benefit from further adjustments to tune your suspension for your preferences.

How much air should I put in my rear FOX shock?

The exact PSI you end up with depends on how plush/firm you want the rear shock to be, but a good starting point is 1 psi for 1 lbs in weight of the rider (including riding gear). Then just add/remove air to your liking.

How do you soften Fox shocks?

When you decrease rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob counter-clockwise, you allow the shock to extend faster. It feels softer, more supple, and livelier. When you increase rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob clockwise, you make the shock extend slower.

What is preload on Fox shocks?

Preload is a measurement of how much a spring is compressed at full extension of the shock. Thread the upper spring adjuster down until it just touches the spring, you are now at 0″ of preload. Every inch you thread it down from there is 1″ of preload. With a 1.0 Motion Ratio that also lifts the vehicle 1″.

What PSI should I run in my rear shock?

The exact PSI you end up with depends on how plush/firm you want the rear shock to be, but a good starting point is 1 psi for 1 lbs in weight of the rider (including riding gear).

What psi should my rear rockshox be?

Max pressure should not exceed 163 psi. Rebound suggestions are set from the full clockwise/full slow position.

What happens if you have too much preload?

Can You Have Too Much Preload? Springs work in both extension and compression so too much preload makes the springs too soft on compression. When this happens we have to compensate with shock valving and sometimes that can lead to harshness.

Does increasing preload increase ride height?

The suspension may feel stiffer when preload is increased, but that’s because adding preload compresses the spring, so it takes more pressure to move the suspension any further. Adjusting preload simply determines the motorcycle’s ride height.
