REAR SHOCK REBOUND DAMPING
ADJUSTMENT
Rebound damping affects how quickly the shock
“rebounds” or returns to the fully extended position
after compression.
A rebound damping adjuster is located at the
bottom of the shock. The adjuster has 42 positions.
Each position can be identified by an audible “click”
heard when turning the adjuster. There are 20 clicks
in each full revolution of the adjuster.
1. To set rebound damping to the standard
setting, Turn the adjuster fully clockwise (b)
until no clicks are heard or felt.
2. Turn the adjuster counter clockwise (a) until the
first “hard” click is heard. This is setting one
and the first in the count. Continue turning the
adjuster counter clockwise and count the clicks
until you reach the total specified standard
setting. Consult the Model Specification section
in this owner’s manual.
REAR SHOCK COMPRESSION DAMPING
ADJUSTMENT
Compression damping affects how quickly the
shock compresses.
The compression adjuster is located at the top of
the shock reservoir. The adjuster has 23 positions.
Each position can be identified by an audible “click”
heard when turning the adjustment screw. There are
8 clicks in each full revolution of the adjusting screw.
1. To set compression damping to the standard
setting, turn the adjustment screw clockwise
until it will no longer turn. When the screw
stops, this is the harder position “0”.
CAUTION
Do not force the adjuster past the stop point.
2. Turn the adjuster counter clockwise counting
each “click” until the specified standard setting
for your vehicle is achieved. Consult the Model
Specification section in this owner’s manual.
