Shock Setup - Yeti Cycles SB6C Owner's Manual

SHOCK SETUP

YETI TIPS
Inspect your shock for any visible damage.
If oil is leaking or you notice any damage to
the surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox
Racing Shox service center for repair at 800.
FOX.SHOX or your local bike shop.
Shock set-up can fluctuate greatly based on
the rider. The set-up guide is intended as a
base line to get the rider started. Experiment
with your settings to find the set-up that
works best for you.
QUICK START GUIDE
ADJUSTMENT SETTING
AIR SPRING SETTING (PSI) RIDER WEIGHT LESS 10 PSI
MEASURED SAG (MM) 17-18MM
REBOUND *5 CLICKS
TRAIL ADJUST OPEN (DESCEND)
*All clicks are counted clockwise, rotating from the all the
way out or counter - clockwise dial position. Number of
clicks of rebound will vary based on air pressure.

TOOLS NEEDED
• Shock Pump
• Metric Tape Measure
01. AIR PRESSURE
The main air spring controls the sag of the shock.
For the SB6c to ride properly it is important to
setup the shock with the correct amount of sag.
The SB6c works best with 18-19MM of measured
sag. To increase the sag reduce the main spring
air pressure. To reduce the sag increase the main
spring air pressure. Cycle the shock 5-10 times
to equalize the EVOL chamber before measuring
sag.
03. REBOUND AND COMPRESSION
The rebound has 14 clicks of adjustment. The rebound knob is the red adjustment dial located at the front
of the air can. When the shock is mounted on the bike a small allen wrench is the best way to rotate it.
Slower rebound- turn the knob clockwise, Faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise.
Compression is adjusted 2 ways. Low speed compression can be tuned for the "open" position with the
black adjuster, giving the shock 3 positions. The Blue lever is a 3 position lever: Open, Medium and Firm.
For our bikes, unless you are on pavement, we recommend using the "open" setting. The Switch Infinity
design will do the rest!
02. SAG
Once you have set your baseline air pressure you
need to measure the sag. To measure the sag
slide the travel indicator (O-Ring) up against the
shock body. With a friend supporting the bike
and with the shock in "open," sit on the saddle
(do not bounce) and allow your body weight to
compress the shock. Once you have compressed
the shock, get off the bike and measure the
distance between the shock body and the new
position of the travel indicator (O-Ring). This is
your sag.
