Fox Float Rp2 Rear Shock Manual

Hi guys, I just got a new 2012 Fox RP23 shock with Boost Valve and Adaptive logic (Rebound tune M, Velocity tune M, Boost Valve tune 200) and installed it on my Spark. Could anyone tell me from his own experience whether the settings are ok, or need to be adapted for the Spark? Moreover, I used the RS mounting hardware 6.22,2mm but there is still a little side play on the shock with screws fully tightened, is this ok? I reckon notGetting the right air pressure looks to be quite tricky too, I tried 190 psi for my 85 kg, but after some posts here, I will probably end up a bit higher for a 9,5 mm sag.

The proper rebound setting is a personal preference, and changeswith rider weight, riding style and conditions. A rule of thumb is thatrebound should be as fast as possible without kicking back and pushingthe rider off the saddle.The rebound knob has 8-10 clicks of adjustment.For slowerrebound, turn the red adjuster knob.For fasterrebound, turn the red adjuster knob.ProPedalThe ProPedal lever allows for on-the-flyProPedal adjustment. ProPedal damping reduces pedal-induced suspensionbob. The two ProPedal lever settings are:.OPEN.PROPEDALUse each setting to adjust the shock fordifferent riding conditions and situations. For example, use PROPEDALfor riding to the top of the mountain, and then switch to OPEN for the descent.To determine which ProPedal position is betterfor your condition and situation, pedal the bicycle and monitor the shockmovement.
