Live Valve:
A FAST-ACTING AUTOMATED SUSPENSION SYSTEM
WARNING
Throughout the document you’ll see the exclamation mark symbol, which
indicates critical information that must be applied.
The Live Valve system will come installed from the factory. However, the
battery must be charged and the system must be calibrated before the first
use. Ask your dealer to verify that the system has been charged and
calibrated, or refer to your Live Valve Owner’s Guide or visit www.ridefox.com
for online instructions and videos.
Do not use a power washer or any high-pressure cleaning methods.
Do not discard the battery’s rubber protective cover. This protective cover is
critical to protect the battery while it is in storage or being transported away
from the controller.
Do not discard the controller’s protective cover. This protective cover is
critical for protecting the main controller when the battery is not connected
(for example, during charging o the bike). The main controller can sustain
damage through exposure to elements such as water and debris and must
be covered.
Begin with the fork and shock compression adjusters in the SOFT
(open) position.
Live Valve uses accelerometer sensors to automatically switch between two
compression positions, open and firm, as the terrain dictates.
This Tuning Guide is your reference to understanding your Live Valve system. It
also provides important information about proper installation and set-up.
Visit www.ridefox.com for instructional videos. For further details, refer to the
printed or online version of the Live Valve Owner’s Guide.

The recommended settings in this Tuning Guide are designed
to be a starting point, in order to get you out on your first ride
in as few steps as possible. Consult your bike manufacturer’s
instructions for setup recommendations. As you ride and get
used to your Live Valve system, adjust your settings as needed.

CHARGE THE BATTERY
The battery can be charged on or o the bike. To display the battery
charge level, press the Power button. Battery level is indicated by 1-5
LED lights (when 5 LED lights illuminate, the battery is fully charged).
1. Remove the cover over the charging port of the battery.
2. Insert the provided micro USB cable into the USB port of the
battery. Then connect the USB cable to any USB charging port.
3. The green charging LED will illuminate. The green charging LED
will turn o when battery charging is complete (approximately 2
hours).
4. Reinstall the cover over the charging port of the battery.
SELECT YOUR SETTING
LIVE Valve has five programmed settings that can be selected to
control how sensitive the system feels. For example, setting five will
take a slightly bigger bump or landing to open compared to setting
four. We recommend you start in setting two.
1. If the system is not already on, press the Power button once.
2. Press and release the Settings Selector button once to determine
the existing setting.
3. Quickly press the Settings Selector button again to toggle through
the five settings.
4. When the LED lights turn o, this indicates the new setting has
been selected.

SUSPENSION SETUP
The fork and shock on the Live Valve system must be set up
with the system powered o. The next few pages will walk
you through setting your compression, sag, and rebound for
your Live Valve fork and shock.
All Live Valve forks and shocks have a 4 digit ID code. Use
this number on the Help page at www.ridefox.com to find out
more information about your suspension, including travel.
The compression adjuster changes the firmness, or
support, of the fork or shock as it is compressed. The
fork and shock of the Live Valve system have identical
compression adjusters. This compression adjuster
controls both high- and low-speed compression.
Since Live Valve switches automatically between two
compression positions, open and firm, turning the
adjuster bolt changes open mode compression only.
Begin with each compression adjuster in the
SOFT (open) position. Use the included 3 mm
hex wrench to turn the adjuster bolt counter-
clockwise until it stops.

TOTAL FORK TRAVEL
To achieve the best performance from your FOX
suspension, adjust the air pressure to attain your
proper sag setting. Sag is the amount your suspension
compresses under your weight and riding gear. Sag
range should be set to 15–20% of total fork travel.

FORK REBOUND SETTING
The rebound adjuster controls the rate of speed at which the fork
extends after compressing. The rebound setting is dependent on
the air pressure setting. For example, higher air pressures require
slower rebound settings. You will use your air pressure to find your
rebound setting.
Turn the rebound adjuster to the closed position (full clockwise)
until it stops. Then back it out (counter-clockwise) to the number
of clicks shown in the table below.

1. Make sure the compression adjuster is
in the Soft (open) position.
2. Start by setting the shock air pressure
(psi) to match your weight in pwounds.
With the air pump attached to the
shock valve, slowly cycle your shock
through 25% of its travel 10 times as
you reach your desired pressure. This
will equalize the positive and negative
air chambers and will change the
pressure on the pump gauge.
Do not exceed 350 psi, the
maximum Live rear shock air
pressure!
3. Remove the pump.
4. Sit still on the bike in your normal
riding position, using a wall or a tree
for support.
5. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against
the rubber air sleeve seal.
6. Carefully dismount the bike without
bouncing.
7. Measure the distance between
the sag indicator o-ring and the
rubber air sleeve seal. Compare your
measurement to the ‘Suggested Sag
Measurements’ table.
8. Add or remove air pressure until you
reach your desired sag measurement.
