knight_ripper Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 I was told 4" on sag. And to adjust it, pop off the clip on top and turn the spring. I dont have the shock in my hands yet but I dont remember any clip on there. I thought the way you adjusted the height of the shock is with a spanner wrench. Also is 4" standard for all types of riding. what is the sag on mx? Quote
Banchetta Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Your supposed to have 25% of sag....So if you have 9-10" of travel...2.5" of sag...mx might have a little more sag to lower the height... Quote
knight_ripper Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Posted May 3, 2004 I need to adjust it for sure. I have 6" of sag. When you pick up the back of the shee you can feel the shock bottom out before the wheels come off the ground. The best I can describe it.....is.....there are three nuts on the top of the rear shock. The top one to hold the shock to the head, the middle one (which is a lock nut), and the the bottom one of the three is touching the spring....which when turned changes the height of the shee. I beleive the adjustment on the bottom of the shock is for rebound...so I didnt mess with that. But I did loosen the top middle nut (lock nut)and then cranked down on the spanner nut. With a bunch of turning Im aprox 1/2 way down the threads on the top and still only at 5 1/2". Im just wondering if this is the right way to change it. Keep in mind....I just got this shock back from TCS. Rebuilt....New oil and seal.... Feels great....real mushy. In fact with my new Works Duel Rates the quad has never handled the same. I am now a true believer that suspension should be one of the first upgrades. All new suspension has turned my shee into a cornering machine. Quote
