reducing rev travel

right so just got my nice new RCT3 150 revs through and want to reduce the travel down to 140mm.
How do I go about this (I believe there is spacers involved??)
Or can anyone point me in the direction of an appropriate guide?

The service manual for the fork.
Did it come with the spacers to fit?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

The service manual makes no reference to it. there was a seal + wiper kit but no spacersYeti SB66c 20130

I believe the newer solo air needs a whole new spring assembly.0

then there is a chance that you can not adjust them.
link to what you have bought."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

cheers for your help
but I kid you not... there is no mention of that in the bookthat came with my fork.Yeti SB66c 20130 -
the user manual only covers basic stuff. travel change is not basic. hence the service manual."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

can you not stick a 10mm spacer where the bottom out washer goes? i swear thats how you used to be able to do it, well i did that on mine?
Out of interest, if it has changed, why have they changed it?0 -

No you cannot, you could in the past but not now. There is now a dimple in the stanchion to allow the negative and positive air chambers to equalise pressure.0
