Can't Find User Manuel/Spec Info Fork/Shock

Hacker60

I'm trying to get my Forks and Rear Shcok set correctly, with a new
bike (not brand new, just new to me) FSR XC 2007, the Fork is a Fox J3 SL Coil
and Rear Shock X-Fusion 02 RLA, those are the only two remaining stock items
as most of the rest of the bike has been upgraded.

The fork seems to work fine, lock-out a bit on the soft side, but useable
but the rear shock does'nt seem right, to hard. The shock is in for a service
with "Evans Cycles" I know there not the best, but for £40.00 they should know
if it's working or needs replacing.

I have been trying for a week to find User Manuels or Work Specifications
for both parts but as the parts go back to 2007 I can't find anything specific,
The X-Fusion wedsite archive does'nt seem to go back that far, I just want to know
the basic's ie: Travel, (I think it's 100mm) but mainly shock, so I can look for
a Decent replacement on e-Bay, or at least be sure I've got everything set-up right.

There is no such fork as the one you list. Your bike requires a 100-110mm travel forks with a unthreaded 1 1/8th inch steerer.

For the shock, you measure like this:

This must be of the same dimensions

no wonder you cant find anything, try searching Rockshox J3 SL its not a fox fork

Correct, it's a Rockshox, got Fox products on the brain right now it's late couple of beers,
you know how it is, give a guy a break... still it's good to to see your all on the ball.

There are people with just as many posts, however whilst sonics posts are useful and impartial, others have racked up that kind of post count by arguing and bickering, watch out!

As it is also part of his job....

True, without a forum like this, we'd all be getting ripped off at main dealers
who want to part with as little knowledge as possible, unless it's for a price.

I got married to argue and bicker and then got into MTB to get my freemdom back
a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, so hats off to the beginners ! proud
to be one of them, sorry I'm getting all emotional now, doh....
