I want to replace the seals of my 40 tomorrow but:
-in the user manual it doesnt say how this should be done
-http://service.foxracingshox.com/consumers/index.htm isnt working

There was a great discription on the fox site with pictures and all but that seems to be off line. Can anybody help me with an other online manual?

bump.

whoop there it is

 

[dhbuilder]

thanks man.

i sent mine back at the end of our riding season last year for some t.l.c.

ONE run this year and the left seal puked it's guts.
i'll fix it myself, as now i can't afford to wait for the turnaround time.

cool thing is it's just lube oil.
not dampner fluid.

Doing maintenance yourself definitely has its benefits (mentally and $$ saving). I'd imagine it would also be somewhat chaotic sending a fork back now with prime season coming up.

So has anyone else gotten a Fox 40RC2 OEM with their bike? My Glory came in today and there was not any extra springs for the Shock like you get when you buy it retail. Only what is stock in it. At this time I don't know what it is.

my guess would be the medium spring.

Damn, I want a soft Ti one. Anyone have one laying around?

 

[dhkid]

nope, the oem doesn't come with springs.... is yours an 07? 07 forks come with hard ti spring stock, 06-05 came with medium ti spring stock. besides the 05-06 medium and 07 heavy the other springs are steel.

Uooo... Ti Spring can be very expensive. I was going to get the extra-soft Ti spring from Fox direct and it would cost over $200.00 retail. So, I got the steel spring instead.

Only the Medium stock spring is Ti, the soft and firm springs in the box are regular steel.

Maybe you can try Go-Ride with the dual-Rate Ti springs!!!

No you don't.
You want the blue one.
Your bike probaly came with the stock ti green one.
I traded mine to somebody heavier and it worked perfect.

subject RE: Question - Fox 40 Springs

For the 2005 40 fork, the stock 40lb blue spring is titanium and for 2006-2007, the stock 45lb green spring is titanium. All our other springs are steel.

nope, the oem doesn't come with springs.... is yours an 07? 07 forks come with hard ti spring stock, 06-05 came with medium ti spring stock. besides the 05-06 medium and 07 heavy the other springs are steel.

 

[FCLinder]

It is a 07. Does that mean I have a hrad Ti Spring? Does anyone want to trade for a Med Ti?

i though they dont make ti springs in other weights?

yea, they changed over hard rate on the ti springs mid way through 06...

If it is a stock spring, it is Green Ti Spring. If you are not sure, just open the top cap and see what's in there.
