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. A Make sure that you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of your bicycle manuals. SERVICE AND MODIFICATIONS As a first point of contact for all warranty or service issues, please refer to your local Specialized Authorized Dealer. All internal fork maintenance must be performed by an Authorized Service Center. Please visit for a list of Specialized Authorized Dealers, which is the point of contact for sending product to the Authorized Service Center. Technological advances have made frames and forks more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or 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 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, which can cause injury or death. 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 Specialized Authorized Dealer or Authorized Service Center. A 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. A Service on Specialized forks requires special knowledge and tools. Specialized recommends that all service and repairs be performed by an Authorized Service Center. A Never modify your fork or frame in any way. Do not sand, drill, fill, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible aftermarket suspension parts. Riding with a damaged, broken, malfunctioning or improperly modified frame or fork, can cause you to lose control and fall. A Specialized forks are only for use on designated Specialized bikes. Do not use the E100/S90/S120 fork on any other bike. Use of these forks on any non-recommended bikes can result in poor performance, damage to the fork and/or bike and will void the warranty. 4 TOOLS NEEDED: ■ 4/5/6 mm hex wrench (socket-style and wrench-style) ■ Torque wrench TERMINOLOGY I13 FORK SAG: The amount the fork compresses when the rider's body weight is applied to the fork while sitting on the bike.
