Vivid Air Service; Getting Started - SRAM RockShox Vivid Air Series Technical Manual

Table of Contents

Prior to servicing your rear shock, you will first need to remove it from your bicycle frame according to your bicycle

manufacturer's instructions. Once your shock is off your bicycle, remove the rear shock mount hardware. Rear shock mount

hardware removal instructions can be found in the "Mounting Hardware and Bushing Service" section of this document.

Vivid rear shock service includes instructions for completing both routine and comprehensive service procedures. Routine

service procedures are maintenance items that should be performed at regular intervals in order to keep your shock functioning

optimally. Comprehensive service procedures are long-term maintenance items that should be performed periodically as a

supplement to the routine service items. When performing routine service intervals, you only have to complete the sections titled

'Routine Service'. When performing comprehensive service intervals, you will complete all instructions, in order, including the

routine service procedures.

Remove the shock mounting hardware (see

the "Mounting Hardware And Bushing Service"

section).

Place an oil pan on the floor underneath the area

of the shock. Place a large oil absorbing rag

directly underneath the vise where the shock

will be clamped to catch all oil that will spill from

the shock during service.

Check and record your current air pressure

setting to assist with post-service set up.
