Help all,

My ML has just arrived - loooooooooong story but an 06 large ML which was built up at factory for a customer who cancelled so their loss was my gain.
Anyway has arrived with 07 Talas 32 and RP23 but NO MANUALS !!:madman:
Apparently my contact still has em in the states and will send them out soon.
Im itching to ride so need help with pressures etc
Weight 190 lb what pressures are you all using ??

New Kiwi ML rider :thumbsup:

Mike, just set your sag at 25% for both the fork and the shock.

follow these instructions.

You can also check out foxracingshox.com and download the instruction manuals there.

For the RP23, I would say 160 - 165psi. I think we came up with an 85% of rider weight for the 23. As far as the Talas, I'm really not sure. Never ridden a Fox fork.

I would say go with whatever gives you 25% sag, front and back.... easy peasy.

Not sure what the pressure should be but here's a link to videos that explain setting sag on the rear and on the fork. Very simple to do.

Welcome to the club! Enjoy. Pix?

later,

Mike a new kiwi ML rider. Where you based? Dam ya make me miss home...

Have no clue about the Talas 32, but on the RP23, have a play, I am around 10 lb's lighter, I have around 150 in the shock, but have a play, would start at around 170 then go from there............Go here and download the manual for the fork and shock http://www.foxracingshox.com/fox_tech_center/index.htm

Best of luck, we need pics of my home terrain buddy

Shesh, mine has more sag on the left also, this could well be a mtb thing............Who else has sag on there left one ??????????????

 

[TiEndo]

Well my wife is bias towards my right one so I'd say my sag if more rightie then leftie.

my left one has a little more than 25%. Is that normal?

I found a high volume sleeve works the treat to increase pressure, but I bottom out more.
