INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the finest line of suspension bikes
available!
Your bike is equipped with a Specialized AFR suspension unit. Please read the
following information for proper setup and service before riding. Please contact
Specialized at (877) 808-8154 for further information or questions, and visit www.
specialized.com/bc/SBCDownloads.jsp for periodic tech updates.
Please read the following warnings. Because failure to follow any warnings may result
in a catastrophic failure, resulting in serious personal injury or death, this phrase may
not be repeated in connection with each Warning.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATIONS
As a first point of contact for all warranty or service issues, please refer to your local
authorized Specialized dealer. All internal fork maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Specialized Service Center. For a list of service centers, please visit www.
specialized.com, e-mail at customerservice@specialized.com or call (877) 808-8154.
Technological advances have made frames and forks more complex, and the pace of
innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals
to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your fork.
In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical to have work performed
by an authorized Specialized Service Center.
Do not modify your fork or bicycle. Any modifications, non-authorized replacement
parts or improper service will void the warranty and can cause damage to the fork unit
and/or frame and can cause injury to the rider.
Proper maintenance is critical to the optimal performance and lifespan of the fork.
Please follow the service schedule recommended in this manual. If your fork ever
makes any unusual noises or loses air/oil, stop riding immediately and have the fork
inspected by your local authorized Specialized dealer or by an authorized Specialized
Service Center.
WARNING! Never modify your fork or frame in any way. Do not sand, drill,
fill, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible after-market suspension
parts. Riding with a damaged, broken, malfunctioning or improperly
modified frame or fork, can cause you to lose control and fall.
Caution: Any modification of your frame or fork means that your bike no longer
meets our specifications and therefore voids your warranty.
WARNING! Make sure you have, review, and understand the warnings, in-
structions, and content of the manuals for your bicycle.
WARNING! Service on Specialized forks requires special knowledge and
tools. Specialized recommends that all service and repairs be performed by
an authorized Specialized Service Center.
WARNING! Specialized forks are pressurized with an air charge and require
special tools to recharge. The charged section does not need to be opened
to perform any cleaning or lubricating. Because of explosive force, do not
open the charged section of the fork. Attempting to open the charged
section of the fork is dangerous and will void the warranty.
