txblueshee Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 The clicker does not help out bottoming that much... have you adjusted the actual preload on the shock(two metal collars). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 yea turn the two collars down the shock a few turns, that should help and turn your compression knob to the stiffest setting. There is a limit to how far those preload collars should go down to.... but I dont know it. Is the shock real bouncy or pogo sticky, gonna eject you off the seat kinda feel to it ? I rode with a rear shock that was blown, its pretty dangerous, not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbilabuc Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I loosen the top one and tighten the bottom one, give me some type of an estimate as to how much I should turn? Im thinking half a turn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I loosen the top one and tighten the bottom one, give me some type of an estimate as to how much I should turn? Im thinking half a turn?? you want to turn it till when you sit on the bike the ass end still drops a couple inches, get it to ride nice and soak up the terrain if you try to make it just not bottom by cranking the preload so stiff it barely moves the bike will ride like shit and still bottom out.......if its not blown up start with your rebound at half way and your compression backed all the way out then adjust to the terrain your in......

txblueshee Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 My rear end used to sag almost 6'' I cranked it down about 1 3/4-2 turns and added a -2.5 swingarm. Now the rear sages about 2-3''(perfect) and clicker is 5 clicks from the stiffest setting. I weigh about 215 w/ gear and all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I loosen the top one and tighten the bottom one, give me some type of an estimate as to how much I should turn? Im thinking half a turn?? I adjust mine by the seat of the pants. Too stiff, and my kidneys ache to the point I can't breathe. Too soft and I get motion sick. It would be great to actually adjust them to performance rather than if I'm not gonna be able to piss or if I'm gonna throw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
