YETI TIPS
Inspect your shock for any visible damage. If
oil is leaking or you notice any damage to the
surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox Racing
Shox service center for repair.
Removing the shock from the linkage will
require the Yeti linkage tool for proper assembly
and disassembly. The tool can be purchased
online www.yeticycles.com or through an
authorized YETI dealer.

Rail System Lubrication
SETUP RAIL SYSTEM LUBRICATION
RAIL LUBRICATION Fill the supplied syringe with white lithium
grease. This is best done by removing the plunger on the syringe and
packing it with the grease. Once the syringe is filled, press the end of the
rubber line onto the grease port as shown. Compress the syringe to force
grease into the rail system.
Warning: The rails system must be lubricated after every ride. Failure to
lubricate based on the specications can cause permanent damage to the linear
rail.
SETUP OVERVIEW Both the rail and block are made from proprietary carbon steel. The rail is then case
hardened to between 58 and 64Rc. An Armalloy surface treatment is applied to the rail and the block for
corrosion protection and wear resistance. The ball bearings are made from martensitic stainless steel -
which is equal to a 440 stainless. End scrapers, end seals, inner seals, and side seals prevent contaminants
from entering the system.
There is also a custom grease port on the end of each block. Grease should be applied with the supplied
applicator after the days ride and/or bike wash. After grease application, the suspension needs to be cycled
6-10 times to spread the grease evenly throughout the bearing raceways and ports in the block
1
RAIL LUBRICATION After you have completed the initial lubrication.
Weight and unweight the bike to compress the shock an actuate
the rail system. If you see residual grease left on the rail after cycling
the suspension you have sufficiently lubricated the system. If no grease
is visible after cycling repeat Step 1 until residual grease is visible on the
rail after cycling. Perform this lubrication for both the top and main rail
systems. Wipe off any excess grease on the rail before riding.

Eccentric Adjustment
SETUP GEOMETRY
ECCENTRIC ADJUSTMENT Slightly loosen the eccentric mount bolts
with a 5mm allen key. The bolts only need to be just loose enough to
spin the Eccentric.
SETUP OVERVIEW The 303 DH has the ability to change the geometry of the bike via the eccentric mount.
The geometry can be adjusted from a 64 degree head angle / 14 inch bottom bracket height through a 66
degree head angle / 15 inch bottom bracket height.
1
ECCENTRIC ADJUSTMENT Place a 6mm allen key into the pivot pin
as shown. Rotate the eccentric to the desired position. The eccentric
adjustment has a range of 64˚/14” - 66˚/15”.
2
ECCENTRIC ADJUSTMENT Once the eccentric mount is in the desired
position secure the mounting bolts.
Torque: 125-150 inch/lbs

Shock Setup
SETUP SHOCK DHX 5.0
REBOUND The rebound adjustment has a 14-click range. Adjustments
that are too fast (counter-clockwise adjustment) will produce a
springy ride with excessive kick up of the rear end causing a bucking
sensation. Adjustments that are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause
packing of the rear wheel that is identified by a sluggish ride feeling.
Slower rebound - turn the adjuster clockwise
Faster rebound - turn the adjuster counter-clockwise
6
SAG SETUP Use 25-35% of the shocks stoke for downhill use. To
determine sag, first measure the distance between the centers of
each shock mounting bolt (eye-to-eye) and record this number. Make sure
you have the correct spring for your weight. See the spring rate chart.
>2006 303 DH eye-to-eye 9.5”

WHAT IS PRO-PEDAL? Pro-Pedal is compression tune that
gives the right amount of low speed compression to filter out
unwanted rider induced bob without sacrificing critical mid
and high speed damping. No flushing through your travel,
no wasted setup time, and no energy sucking suspension
movement, just super efficient pedaling performance ready
for hits of any size.
PRO-PEDAL The Pro-Pedal adjustment has a 15 click range of
adjustment. The Pro-Pedal damping affects the first half of stroke.
More Damping - clockwise rotation
Less Damping - counter-clockwise rotation
BOTTOM-OUT RESISTANCE The bottom-out adjuster has 3 full turns
of adjustment . This adjustment controls the bottoming resistance of
the shock, meaning it controls the compression on final part of the shocks
stroke. The adjuster can be turned by hand or with a 4mm allen key. The
allen key should be placed into one of the holes on the perimeter of the
adjuster.
More Resistance - clockwise rotation
Less Resistance - counter-clockwise rotation
Warning: When the volume adjuster has reached its counter-clockwise
stop limit, continued force on the adjuster may cause damage to the adjuster
mechanism.
BOOST VALVE The DHX 5.0 has an air pressure range of 75-200
psi, and it must be pressurized. The Boost Valve allows the Pro-
Pedal (beginning compression) and the Bottom-Out Resistance (ending
compression) to work seamlessly together. Because of this relationship the
Boost Valve pressure affects both the Bottom-Out Resistance and the Pro-
Pedal Adjustments (see adjustment relation).
Lower pressures (75-100 psi) - will decrease bottoming resistance and
Pro-Pedal at a given setting.
Higher pressures (110-200 psi) - will increase bottoming resistance and
Pro-Pedal at a given setting
SAG SETUP Next, sit on the bike and record the new (eye-to-eye)
measurement. Subtract the static eye-to-eye measurement from this
new measurement and you get your sag in inches. An easy way to calculate
sag is to multiply the shock travel by your desired sag percentage. See
quick setup guide on page 20.
5
Warning: Use of the shock with improper air pressure can cause a loss
of dampening and shock malfunction could occur. Do not attempt to turn the
adjuster with more than 125 psi in the chamber..
SETUP OVERVIEW The DHX 5.0 employs both speed sensitive rebound damping and position sensitive
compression damping. There are three external adjustments that affect the compression and one external
adjustment for the rebound. The three compression adjustments are the Bottom-Out Resistance, Boost Valve
and Pro-Pedal. The Pro-Pedal controls the anti-bob properties of the shock or the first part of the shocks
stroke, the Bottom-Out Resistance affects the end of the shocks stroke, and the Boost Valve damping links
these two adjustments together to create a seamless transition through the entire stroke. The Boost Valve
also de-couples the Pro-Pedal and Bottom-Out Resistance making these adjustments independent on each
other.

SETUP OVERVIEW The 303 DH has full cable housing. Utilizing full cable housing helps prevent corrosion
from the elements and keeps the shifting smoother for a longer period of time. The 303 DH also has custom
guides that allows the cables to slide when the bike is compressed.
Line Setup
SETUP CABLE ROUTING
Caution: The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and unexpected
shifting of gears
LINE SETUP The first step in the rear derailleur line setup is to cut the
proper length housing. The housing runs from the rear shifter along
the drive side of the bike, down the seatstay, and into the derailleur stop. If
the housing is to long it will sag and rub on the lower crown of the fork
LINE SETUP Once you have the proper length housing install the IGUS
I Glide Clips as shown. The flange of each clip should be placed on the
end of the cable guide.
LINE SETUP Install the top cable guide and screw the M2.5x.45x.8
flat head bolt using a 1.5mm allen key. Repeat this process onthe
opposing side for the rear brake.
