There is a lever which adjusts the rear shock in the tool kit, right? No tool kit comes as standard delivery in Cambodia so, how do I adjust the shock quickly :dunno_black:?
There was another post on here that I found quite useful. It says to put it up on the center stand, get a really long flat tipped screwdriver (a tough one, thats not going to snap on you), and use a hammer to hit the bottom of the screwdriver, therefore turning the adjuster. It worked for me, and stiffening the ride made a huge difference.
thanks for the tip. funny, I'd always done just that when dealing with trail bike height issues.
To adjust: Which rotation direction accomplishes which adjustment?
If you imagine the shock from the top, rotating the collar clockwise increases preload, rotating it counterclockwise decreases preload. There are 7 settings, 1 being the softest, 7 being the hardest. If you look on the collar you'll notice the numbers stamped into it. If you go past 7 back to 1 it'll make a noticeable ping/clunk noise, then you can just count the clicks until you get to your desired setting.
