Remove the main air chamber air cap and let all the air out of the main air chamber. Carefully cycle the suspension through its entire travel. Check that all parts of the shock are clear of the frame and swingarm as it cycles through the travel. 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 section below. 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:.

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 counterclockwise. ProPedal The ProPedal lever allows for on-the-fly ProPedal adjustment.
ProPedal damping reduces pedal-induced suspension bob. The two ProPedal lever settings are:. OPEN. PROPEDAL Use each setting to adjust the shock for different riding conditions and situations. For example, use PROPEDAL for riding to the top of the mountain, and then switch to OPEN for the descent. To determine which ProPedal position is better for your condition and situation, pedal the bicycle 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.
