What is the basic set up?
Your KIRK shock was delivered with intermediate external hydraulic settings and inflated to a 80 to 100psi
pressure; nevertheless you should refer to the tuning section of this manual to fit it perfectly to your bike,
your weight, and your riding style.
You can find all the information about standard settings for your bike in the chartlist on the BOS website
download section.
There is air leaking when I connect the high pressure pump, what can I do?
Check that your pump is correctly connected to the valve shell. Make sure that the Shrader valve core is
correctly tightened.
My shock is too stiff on the first inches of travel and / or the rebound is very fast. What can I do?
The two air chambers are not correctly equalized. Check out chapter 3.2 to see how to equalize your air
chambers.
Once reassembled, the shock stickers are not aligned. What can I do?

My shock has a slight negative travel. Is that normal?
The BOS air spring is designed to lower the engagement threshold as much as possible. Therefore, it is
possible on some bikes that there will be a small negative travel.
Where can I purchase replacement stickers and valve cap?
You can purchase these items through your approved BOS center, or on the BOS store on bosmtb.com.
I noticed some play between my shock and the frame, what can I do?
Check that your mounting hardware is torqued to your manufacturer's specifications. If it is, the rear shock
mounting hardware must be replaced. Contact an approved BOS service center, or connect on BOS
