Finally switched back to suspension, my first pair was 1997, then rigid in about 2005. How's its changed!
Anyhow the rochshox recons have no instruction, I cannot find any straightforward advice, instructions etc.
I want to put a bit more air in them or at least understand how to......
Help.
Attach pump and errr, pump?
I know, but where !, it's got poploc on one side,, there is no obvious valve.
Driving me mad.
There must be a set of instructions somewhere.
It's pretty simple - unscrew the black cap off the crown (left side looking forward), attach a shock pump. Pump to desired pressure.
There should be a pressure chart sticker on the left side leg.
Is it actually an air version, or one with a coil spring?
Ok, cheers. I did do that but could not see a thread.
No chart, got them from marlin which states they are 2013 model, not sure if thats true.
It's a coil and air...... This is getting madder, cheers for the replies.
They do swoosh!
I don't think the 2013 is radically different to the 2011 (unlike the new reba.revs etc). Heres a link to the 2011 manual:

Cheers, i will give it a go, wearing my glasses as advised! Will re port back
do you have a shock pump?
You will need one as the volume is tiny (so need a special valve to stop you losing it) and the pressure is high.
Yep, got the pump merlin recommended. Here goes!
Well, taken the top caps off, just hex bolts holding, with no sign of a valve?
This is what I got
