2yammy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 When I bought my banshee it already had Works Shocks up front. I have no complaints about the shocks. Just there's not alot of ground clearance on the front end. My question is how do I adjust my shocks to increase ground clearance without affecting the ride. I ride trails mostly and a little MX. The MX Banshee's that I see have more ground clearance on the front end than mine. Here's a picture tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Works shocks have a ride hieght adjustment. There should be a ring on the top that the spring pushes up against. You can adjust that up or down to get the desired hieght. It doesn't affect the ride just the hieght. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blew duece Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 It doesn't affect the ride just the hieght. 415493[/snapback] well yeah it kinda does, you changed the preload on the shock, that will effect the compression and rebound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2yammy Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 How about the valve, is that gas or air. Would that change the height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 How about the valve, is that gas or air. Would that change the height? 415720[/snapback] The schrader valve at the top of the shock? That is where the nitrogen is added / removed - I would strongly suggest you NOT mess with that. The nitrogen maintains pressure on the back of the piston inside the oil which dictates valve actuation based on the shim stack. Nitrogen in an emulsion shock (like Works) will not change ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2yammy Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I didn't think the valve would mater in the height, thanks for confirming that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
