hagan10 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi My 08 290 rear shock seems to be bottoming out very quick? anyone recomend anything? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 It is usually neccessary to adjust the spring after it settles. I run mine to where the rear will settle about 20-30mm under its own weight(bike only, no rider). This could require 3 or more turns of the adjuster ring.

This could require 3 or more turns of the adjuster ring. there is also a dampening adjustment located from the left side just past the chain tensioner, start it at 5-6 clicks out or counter clockwise. turning it in will increase dampening. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
