Got a set of 07’s just sold a set of 06 r’s and they are both nice and plush, they should only take a few rides to bed in. First off put a little lube (chain lube will do) around the seals at the top of the stanchion’s (make sure they are clean first) and pump them up and down (this will also keep the seals nice, and stop stanchion wear, it works!). Run them with the low speed at just 2-3 clicks in and the high speed about 4 or 5 and ride as much rough stuff as you can! If they are not plush after a couple of rides like that there might be something wrong.

Ride em as hard as possible!

Seriously, best way to bed em in. Any new forks will be sticky for a while though. Few drops of wet lube to each stanchion before/after each ride will help though.

Regarding adjustments, found you’re better off going by sag rather than using Fox’s reccomendations on air pressure. I’ve got mine set to between 25 and 30% sag, with Fox’s reccomended pressures I was seeing less than 20% sag, which meant I wasn’t coming anywhere near full travel. Now I’m getting more travel, though still not quite full travel, but that’s mainly cos I’m not a heavy guy and the internal end stroke damping comes set up VERY firm from the factory, so I need to get this adjusted (this is internal adjustment only I’m told).

Also been told by those in the know, you’re better off erring towards slightly soft on the spring rate, and running more compression damping (both low and high speed, you’ll need more than you think you do) to help “prop” the forks up under braking and to stop them blowing through all their travel. Got my High Speed adjuster about 8 clicks out from full in, and my low speed adjuster 4 or 5 clicks out from full in. But Still experimenting yet.

I told you they’d be crap. Sling them in the bin and get some nice pikes ;o)
