FCV System
Your Idylle FCV is equipped with the frequency control valve system. This system has been carefully tuned at the factory to
balance rider comfort and rider support. The system can be made more supple (and less supportive) or more supportive (and
less supple) with an internal adjustment. If you would like to have your system tuned to match your riding style, please contact
your certified BOS service center.

Hydraulic Adjustments
The Idylle Rare FCV has one rebound setting and two compression settings (high and
low-speeds).
The rebound setting
is adjusted via the screw on top of the right stanchion (1)
The high-speed compression setting
is adjusted via the screw on the bottom of the right
stanchion. (2-A)
The low-speed compression setting
is adjusted via the 14mm bolt on the bottom of the
right stanchion. (2-B)
Setting Ranges:
It is difficult to give a “magical solution” to hydraulic settings as these are linked to a number of different parameters such as
the influence of the rear suspension settings, the air spring pressure, the position of the fork in the crowns, and the geometry of
the bike. This is not to mention personal rider preference. That being said, we can offer the following general advice.
-
Fork diving excessively on braking: harden low-speed compression
-
Frequent bottom-out: harden high-speed compression
-
Feeling of harshness on roots and rocks: soften high-speed compression
-
Discomfort, arms getting sore: soften low-speed compression
-
Fork stays low over successive impacts and doesn’t spring back: speed up rebound
-
Bike sits too high in travel: slow down rebound
Important :
Air Chamber Equalization
You must equalize the positive and negative air chambers each time you adjust your pressures. If the air chambers are
not equalized, the fork will not function properly.
Use the following instructions:
During the pressure adjustment, compress and release the fork over the first inches of travel 5-10 times to equalize air
pressure between chambers. Once this step is done, you’re ready to roll!

Important :
To start your adjustment, turn the adjuster all the way clockwise (clicks = 0). Clicks are then counted one at a time while
turning the adjuster in the counter-clockwise direction.
