It is worth considering other parameters that may be influencing the performance of the fork, especially if you find yourself very
far from the base settings. Change your settings in steps, only adjust one setting at a time, and only open or close the one setting
by a few clicks at a time. If you find yourself lost in the settings, reset to the base settings and start over again.

Air purge
The Idylle RaRe FCV is equipped with an air purge screw on the top of each stanchion. Purging the air regularly reduces the
effect of the air pressure that is invariably created in the fork during use. It is recommended to purge the air every 5 rides in
racing use and every 10 rides in recreational use. To purge residual air, remove the screw entirely and replace the screw –
tighten till snug, do not compress the fork.

Service
It is essential to clean your fork after each day of riding without waiting. Nothing is worse for the life of your seals than dirt and
dust. The cleaning process is also extremely simple: clean the stanchions and seals with a clean rag. You can occasionally lubricate
the exterior of the seal with fork oil. The following chart shows the minimum service intervals for your fork. If you ride mostly in
wet and muddy conditions, please follow the “racing use” service intervals.
Warning: Do not under any circumstances use degreaser.
On the same note, do not power wash the forks! It will only push the mud inside the forks and get it stuck between the
stanchion and the seals.

Caution :
Oil changes and service should be performed at an official BOS service center. These are the only locations able to
identify and resolve damaged or worn parts on your product, especially in the case of extreme shocks or premature wear
on structural elements such as the lowers, stanchions, or crowns.
