charliechitlins Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 It's been a while, but on the front forks, I'm pretty sure the left one adjusts compression damping and the right one is rebound. As for the shock, only the preload is adjustable bu the collar under the spring. Loosen the set screw before you adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I think you'll just have to experiment. I think clockwise is more damping, but I could be wrong. If everything is working, you'll notice a difference when you twist them all the way in one direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 The internal wrenching side (LT) clockwise mwkes the spring tighter. I beleave clockwise on the knob restricts fluid on the right fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspuddy78 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 for what its worth adjusting the preload of the spring, front or rear only alters the attitude of the bike . it doesn't make it more springy, it only alters where in the suspension travel availible, the bike will work. to make any bike more bouncy you have to either reduce rebound and compression damping and/ or change the spring rate ie get a stronger spring. but you have damping for a reason http://www.dfaulknersprings.com/ this is the company i use for my racebike cheap as chips steve.
