sjwales Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hi guys I'm a total newbie so please be gentle , recently bought myself an 07 beta Rev 3 and a friend of mine commented on the rear end looking quite low . Can anyone tell me how high the rear mudguard should be from the rear tyre or something along those lines so I can check if the rear shock has gone or needs adjust ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Trials suspensions are super soft so it's common for newbys to think they are sacked out. Having said that they are also usually setup for little skinny guys. You can adjust up the preload of the front forks and rear shock. There is an Allen head socket on the top of one fork cap that adjusts preload and a couple of toothed rings on the shock body for adjusting shock preload. The flat blade screw on the other fork is the rebound damping adjuster and the shock has a 7 or 8mm (I don't remember) acorn nut kinda thing on the side of the shock body for damping. Do not back either of these all the way out. Adjust by turning fully clockwise counting the clicks until it stops and backing out no more than 31 if I remember correctly. Clockwise is more damping. If you are like most you'll fiddle with these for a while then set them back to 15 clicks and never look at them again. Steve Saunders sells heavier springs for front and rear. I have a set on my EVO but then I'm a lard ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldtrialchamp Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Looking through the Jitsie catalogue the other day, noticed they sell a replacement shock for the Rev3 by Olle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
