Bos IDYLLE RARE 2014 User manual - Manual (Page 8)

3.1 Air bleeding
Idylle is fitted with a bleeding screw on the top of the right stanchion.
Bleeding your forks on regular basis will reduce the pressurising effect that always happens with those forks.
We recommend to bleed your fork every 5 rides in racing use or every 10 rides in recreationnal use.
All you have to do is to undo the bleeding screw and put them back on, no need to compress the forks.
3.2. Cleaning your fork
It is compulsory to clean your fork every time you use it, without waiting !
Nothing’s worse for your fork’s seals than dry mud.
It is very simple to clean your fork : wipe off the stanchion with a clean rag and then slightly lube the stanchion (with
silicon based product). Using of degreaser is totally forbidden.
On the same note, do not power wash the fork! It will only push the mud inside the fork and get it stuck between the
stanchion and the seals.
Cleaning Air bleeding Oil service full service
Recreationnal use After each ride Every 10 rides once a year Every 2 years
Racing use After each ride Every 5 rides twice a year once a year
3.3. Changing oil
An oil change with the Idylle fork consists in changing the oil bath in each leg. Keep highly attention about the
correct oil level, in both leg (cartridge and spring), follow the datas mentionned below in the table.
3. MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
To get the correct oil level in the cartridge side, you must bleed the air while you are pouring the oil.
Once there is no air remaining in the cartridge you can adjust the level, referring to the table below.
IMPORTANT
This is strongly recommended to use BOS Bi'oil oil, otherwise it could significantly alter the behaviour of the
fork and reduce the life of the wear parts.
IMPORTANT
The oil service and full service must be performed by a BOS approved center. The BOS approved centers are
the only able to identify and appraise a damaged or worn parts, especially in case of shock or wear on structural
elements such as the legs, the stanchions and the crowns.
