thanks black and silver... so i still need to figure out if the "1" setting means faster rebound or the "4" setting means faster rebound.

arg, anyone?

again, preload only adjusts the amount of sag that occurs on and off the bike. the rebound speed is adjusted by the smaller knob at the top of the shock. sorry but i still dont have an answer about which direction. best i can think of is load the back end and let go, see how fast the bike moves back to normal height and go through the adjustment levels.

edit: if anything, from other types of shocks and searches i just did, i found that generally the higher the number means the slower the compression/rebound.

yeah I know about preload, just havent really gotten to ride since I put the shock on so Its hard to tell what setting does what. Maybe ill go down to the garage and do what you said and see how fast it springs back, although that may be hard to tell.

Sorry kylegod,

I don't know which rebound setting is which off the top of my head. I'd offer the same advise... Bounce on the suspension. Look not only for how fast it rebounds, but whether or not it overshoots, and if so, how far.

It should be pretty obvious when you take it out for a ride though... With less rebound, the rear end will tend to lift up on the brakes, and it will feel like it's trying to kick you off over the bumps. Conversely, lots of rebound may cause the rear end to pack down somewhat over rough terrain. I'd advise you to identify the softest setting, and add a click of rebound at a time until you find the setting that prevents the 'bucking' feeling over bumps, and controls the rear end lift under braking.)

Does anyone know if the Katana 750 Shock with the remote reservoir has adjustable rebound? I noticed that the few that I found on ebay dont have the cable adjustment similar to the katana 600 shock.

The Katana 750 shock with the remote reservoir has adjustable preload, compression damping, and rebound damping. Compression damping is located on the reservoir, rebound is located at the bottom of the shock, where it mounts to the suspension linkage.
