Thanks for that ,this might sound basic to you ,but when they state spring side ,I presume they mean the rebound leg and not your air side ie the side your air goes in.

The spring side is the side with an air spring, which is the side where air goes in. The other side is the damper side. Hope you got it

Specs

Turn the fork right side up. Pour 5cc of FOX FLOAT Fluid on top of the air piston. Lubricate the o-ring on the air topcap with FOX FLOAT Fluid. Re-install the topcap and torque to 165 in-lbs. Pump up the fork to the desired pressure and cycle it several times to check for proper operation. Re-install the blue air cap.

Installing Your Shock

If you are installing your shock on a bike for which the shock is not original equipment:

  1. Install the shock.
  2. Remove the main air chamber air cap and let all the air out of the main air chamber.
  3. Carefully cycle the suspension through its entire travel.
  4. Check that all parts of the shock are clear of the frame and swingarm as it cycles through the travel.
  5. Pressurize your main air chamber to a minimum of 50 psi and no more than 300 psi. You will tune to a more specific air pressure in the Setting Sag section below.
  6. Set sag.

General Maintenance

There may be a small amount of air sleeve lubricant residue on the body. This is normal. If this residual air sleeve lubricant is not present, this is an indication that the air sleeve should be re-lubricated. Some other things to consider for all shock models:

  • If you ride in extreme conditions, service your shock and air sleeve more frequently. Check the maintenance schedule for your shock.
  • Wash your shock with soap and water only.
  • Do not use a high pressure washer to clean your shock.
  • Internal service should be performed by FOX Racing Shox or an Authorized Service Center.

Before You Ride

Service
  1. Clean the outside of your shock with only mild soap and water, and wipe dry with a soft dry rag.

    Note:Do not use any solvents or de-greasers, as these products can damage the shock's exterior finish or its anodized parts.

    Do not spray water directly on the seal/shock body junction. Do not use a high pressure washer on your shock.

  2. Inspect the entire exterior of your shock. The shock should not be used if any of the exterior parts appear to be damaged. Contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection or repair.
  3. Make sure that your quick-release levers (or thru-axle pinch bolts) are properly adjusted and tightened.
  4. Check your headset adjustment. If loose, adjust it accordingly to your bicycle manufacturer's recommendations.
  5. Check that all brake cables or hoses are properly fastened.
  6. Test the proper operation of your front and rear brakes on level ground.

Setting Sag

To set sag:

Fox
  1. Measure and set sag, and compare your result to the sag setting shown in the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below.

    Air Spring Setting Guidelines

    Shock Travel
    (in./mm)

    25 % Sag
    (in./mm)

    1.00/25.4

    0.25/6.4

    1.25/31.7

    0.31/7.9

    1.50/38.1

    0.38/9.5

    1.75/44.4

    0.44/11.1

    2.00/50.8

    0.50/12.7

    2.25/57.1

    0.56/14.2

  2. If your measured sag value doesn't match the table value, add or release air pressure in 5 PSI increments:
    • if your measured sag value is less than the table sag value, screw on the pump fitting, note the current air pressure setting and depress the black bleed-valve to reduce the gauge pressure by 5 psi. If necessary, measure and set sagagain and repeat this adjustment.
    • if your measured sag value is greater than the table sag value, screw on the pump fitting, note the current air pressure setting and pump to increase the gauge pressure by 5 psi. If necessary, measure and set sagagain and repeat this adjustment.
  3. Repeat until your target sag is achieved, then replace the air valve cap.

Adjusting Rebound

Rebound controls the rate at which your shock returns after it has been compressed. The proper rebound setting is a personal preference, and changes with rider weight, riding style and conditions. A rule of thumb is that rebound should be as fast as possible without kicking back and pushing the rider off the saddle.

The rebound knob has 8-10 clicks of adjustment.

For slower rebound, turn the red adjuster knob clockwise.

For faster rebound, turn the red adjuster knob counter-clockwise.

Adjusting Compression

The FLOAT RL has two suspension compression settings:

1. LOCKED (CLIMBING & ROAD RIDING)

2. OPEN (BUMP ABSORPTION)

Use these two settings to adapt the shock to your riding situation. For example, use the LOCKED position for riding to the top of the climb, and then switch to the OPEN position for the bumpy descent.

Fox float rl manual

To determine which compression adjust position is best, pedal the bicycle at about 15 MPH and monitor the shock movement. Switch between positions and select the one that reduces suspension movement most effectively while providing the desired amount of bump absorption. The setting may change depending on conditions and riding styles.
