    Hey, friends. ‘21-‘23 X2 is defective product. Do not attempt to service it.
    Send it Fox to have a new seal head installed, or it will blow up again.

    Thanks for the great vid. just did the service and my shock is like new!
    I had an issue where I couldn't push the ifp cover down to get the snap ring out. The oil was so airated and pressurized it had the ifp toped out inside the tube. Had to open the bleed port to release the pressure then all was good.
    Another pro tip is the machine adaptor also threads into the ifp bleed hole. I got quite a bit of air out of there

    Don’t you not have to charge the piggyback with nitrogen? Or is air good enough to not have any leakage over time?

      @OtterMTBtech  5 месяцев назад

      air will leak faster, but it works fine,

    If I only want to fix the slurpy, out-of-the-box Fox garbage, can I just purge the piggyback, hook up to the bleed port and run the fluid back and forth, seal up, pump up the piggyback and g2g?

    The adapter that you use to pump the ifp to 100 psi is the same needed for rockshox monarch? Because i need one but the original fox is no more available everywhere, so i need to know if the rockshox one is the same

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  9 месяцев назад

      I don’t know about monarch, but the Rcokshox one works, it’s just a extension for the pump no special threads
