DUNEDEMON Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 No problem, just let me know. Quote
erbilabuc Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Posted March 1, 2004 Ok so if you have done this change in shock, you will notice about the 1 inch raise in ride height. The reason for this I think is that the stock preload setting is not right. I checked the stock setting and it was at 50% of what it should be. My sag was at 1 inch when it needs to be about 2 inches almost or 1.85 inches if you want to get exact. I think this is were the 1 inch rise comes from and I will adjust accordingly tomorrow when I go out and buy a spanner wrench. Quote
dnhyoung Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 I also noticed the increased ride height but when I am sitting on my shee ready to ride it doesn't sit to bad. The only mistake that I made was not checking the presets on my first ride, and I about jammed my wrists out of their sockets. Had to soften the ride up. The guy that I bought them from had the valves dialed all the way in. I also just got my shock back from TCS, and I must say that she rides like a cadilac now, before over big whoops, I could feel the shock bottoming out, but no problems now. Next is extended a a-rms. This is probably going to sound stupid, but what is the bottom adjustment for on the 450 shocks?? Quote
erbilabuc Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Posted March 1, 2004 This is probably going to sound stupid, but what is the bottom adjustment for on the 450 shocks?? thats the rebound adjustment. Do you know how to setup your shocks properly? here is a guide http://www.off-road.com/atv/suspension/shockadj.htm Quote

erbilabuc Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 1 full turn on my preload and my bike is at the same heigh as the works but I still need to go more. The preload on the stock settings is very soft. Quote
