How do I check sag on my FSR Enduro Comp w/ Fox Float?(5 posts)

How do I check sag on my FSR Enduro Comp w/ Fox Float?Lou S

Guys,
I just got a great deal on a medium FSR Enduro Comp . It has a Fox Float shock and I'm trying to adjust the rear sag but I have a couple of questions:
1) How do I find out what stroke the shock is?
2) If I understand correctly from the Fox web-site, if the shock has 1.5" of stroke then sag should be about 10mm. Sound right?
3) How do I find out what year the bike is? Is it coded in the serial number? The guy bought it, rode once and sold it but can't remember what year the bike is. It's kind of blue/gray with red accents, Manitou SX-LT forks, and has Hayes hydraulic discs.
Thanks for any help.
Lou.

Sag should be about 20% of travel. Put a zip tie around shaft, and pressurize your shock. Carefully sit on your bike trying not to bounce. Get off, and measure how much the zip tie moved from up against the body of the shock. That's your sag. If you want less sag, put more air in shock, less, take some out.

Good Luck

There is a guide on the Fox Racing web site at the following URL.

I guess it's safe to assume that I have to let all the air out to measure the travel first then?
Thanks for the help.

With the bike sitting and the shock pressurized, push the o-ring up against the seal of the air sleeve. Sit on the bike will all your weight (without bouncing, get off the bike and measure the distance between the o-ring and the sleeve seal, it should be 3/8". Add or subtract air to get the correct measurement.
