If rock shox, put the serial numbers in Trailhead and you'll find out if they were shipped with any fitted.
Last 2 bikes I bought came with 2 tokens in the bike bag kit along with reflectors...I'd have assumed they would have been provided as a just in case it needs tweaked.
Call shop and ask if they've been missed?

In my experience there should be a few volume spacers in the bag of junk that comes with new bikes. Along with the plastic pedals, reflectors and crank arm washers.

It's not something I've seen. Sometimes supplied with a set of forks if you buy them separately.

All our Specialized bikes have come with tokens in a bag.

Which ones do you need and I can get the fork spares box out and see if we have some

All my Rockshox bikes have came with fork token in the tat bag. Last bike had Fox and didn’t. Never had any supplied with either brand of rear.

I have tons of the grey Rockshox ones for Pikes/ Lyriks if Tracey doesn’t have any.

The only new bikes we've bought before came with them - my Marin, sons Rocky Mountain.

Its sporting:

Fox 34 Rhythm GRIP

FOX FLOAT DPS Performance

Sorry Matt. They are probably the only forks we have never had

While we are on the subject I bought a pair of Fox 34 Rhythm and if I want to check if there's any inside I'll need to spend £30 on a " special" socket ???

According to the Fox website Float's have a different amount than Rhythms but mine are Float Rhythms ???

Last two RS forks i've bought (Lyrik+Pike) both came with 2 tokens in the box. As well as a simple mudguard and RS sticker. The two Fox forks came with nothing.

Cheap barstards, for all they'd cost them.

Like all forks, you just need a totally flat faced socket of the right size to open ‘em up. The Fox ones are actually really nice.
