Hello -
I recently purchased a 2016 Yamaha Vector. The sled has a center Fox 3 Float shock - which I need to tune.
I have found the toggles, and the filler for the nitrogen - but I cannot find a filler for the air chamber!
Does anyone have experience with these shocks, and can tell me if Im missing it -- or is it possible this shock soley runs on nitrogen?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I located the document - but I'm still have trouble locating the air filler. I've attached a picture they show on the guide, and I've circled in green the only filler I can locate (Its written right on it, Nitrogen only, do not remove) Can you tell me where from this image id expect to apply the air?

Yes what you have circled is where the air pump would connect too.
The end with the arrow 2 is the nitrogen end.

Thanks. What I have circled is marked as 'Nitrogen' on my shock. The reservoir with arrow 2 does not have any fillers that I can see, just a compression toggle.

2 reservoir has what they call a needle valve for charging nitrogen. The sticker should be on the 2 reservoir.
Mine also has a nitrogen sticker where the air pump connects.

The end furthest away gets the nitrogen charge.

Worked like a charm - thanks a lot - the nitrogen sticker had me concerned.
