Rear Fox shock pressure ?

[chef]

Just got my Fox shock from Craig & am at the shop now installing but it seems pretty soft....anyone have any idea how much air pressure should be ?
Thanks guys.

It takes nitrogen, not air and you could call Fox and ask technical support.  :)

Are you sure it is a pressure problem and not a spring problem? I had to change mine this year because it was too soft. Your spring may be overloaded and need replacing.

Ha...not sure of much on this bike...get 1 problem sorted then another issue arises ! Aint that the fun of it though?
The bike had a GSX1100 shock but the spring i think was shot ..thats the reason i got the Fox.
After installing felt soft so we tested in water & found no leaks.....wound the rebound adjuster up about half way & set the compression midway & the shock feels good but heck...the rear of the bike feels lower than with the old shock ! Length eye to eye was the same so i am assuming it must be all in the setup.
The only identification on the shock is a Fox sticker & no where can i find any info on this model...i saw in a previous post Fox no longer made sportbike shocks ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.

You can wind the shock out at the bottom . About 3/8th of an inch of thread showing is about max for safety reasons.  I'll check mine tomorrow but I recall 3/8ths. It will raise the bike about an inch at the back if you extend the shock that little bit.
