bob Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hi everyone, I have begun to progress a little recently to bigger steps and have run out of bounce on my bike, the suspension seems too slow, Can I make it a little more springy, my bike is an 03 rev3. My old sherco had a little knob but there doesn't seem to be one on this one. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonsurge Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 The damping adjustment is a little screw at the bottom of the shock. Turn clockwise to firm up. No little knob, screw to the right to harden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I have a '01 and it has the screw at the bottom but it also has a knob on the piggy back resevoir facing the front of the bike. What is that for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks everybody, it is an alln bolt on the right fork leg right? And screw in to harden it up. You are on about the forks aren't you, not the rear suspension. I was in abit of a hurry when I typed this and I wasn't very specific. I quite like my rear end to be abit softer for just a little more grip, plus bouncier forks let me bounce the front wheel a little more easily and higher. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I was actually talking about the rear shock. Standing astride the bike the damping adjuster is on top of the right fork leg (it's a slot-headed screw on my bike) and the preload adjuster is on the left (large-ish allen screw).

bob Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 On my bike I thought that there was no screw, but it cound be inside that massive red allen bolt. But what do I know, I never notice minor details or stuff breaking on my bike, but all ways seem to notice stuff on other peoples bikes straight away. Thanks, I will be back here if I have any more problems Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'm not sure if it needs a suspension rebuild yet, it has had very little use but I might consider it if you think it is a good idea and I have nowt else better to do as I had it done once before and it didn't take long. Thanks, I will have a look for that screw today. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
