Making It A Bit More Bouncy?

[sawtooth]

What screws and knobs on my suspension do i need to adjust to make my 03 Rev3 a little more bouncy (for hopping and bouncing), i have an 04 manual but not sure if its the same and it isnt very helpful anyway.

Gday, Im not sure about the rear shock on the Rev 3's, however the front end is pretty similar across the range. You need to find the rebound adjustment, which will always be the little screw, and play with that. Less damping will make the suspension rebound more easily and quickly and vice versa. The adjusters are on top of the fork for the front, on only one side and I cant remember which, and on my Techno it was at the Top of the rear Shock. You will work it out, it is the one that does not affect the spring preload (not under the spring itself). Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,

You can make the action quicker by either tensioning the springs up or reducing the damping.

FRIST thing to do..... adjust you springs until you get 1/3 sag when you stand on the bike. Both ends. No more no less!!! Have someone help you to get measurement correct.

Front forks have a rebound adjuster flat head screw on top of the forks.

Rear shock has a rebound adjuster allan screw on the shock rod end.

This will make the action quicker...... BUT rebound damping has a huge effect on traction. This means if you reduce rebound for faster action you will reduce traction. So you are best to keep rebound very slightly slower and use the proper technique.

Cheers i'll have a look at that today, i dont want to over do it but sometimes it seems the suspension is working against me while hopping around, i'll try and liven it up a little without over doing it.
