How to adjust the preload and my review. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE
******It has been brought to my attention that if you jack up the back wheel, it will take the pressure off of the preload and make it much easier to adjust. Try it and let me know!*******

It's much easier when you put a jack under the the swingarm and take the weight off the shock. That's how the dealership does it. Definitely put a towel or something on that swingarm when adjusting to avoid scratching that crinkle paint. Good video Beth

Awesome video! Pro tip: if somebody doesn’t have the extra muscle to help them, a longer ratchet bar or even a pipe on the end to extend the length with reduce the amount of work required. “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” -Archimedes. (Or lean weight across seat to pre-compress spring ie doing it from the other side.

So, is tightening the shocks good only to prevent bottoming out, or will it help the overall "squiggly" feeling of the ride? I feel like my front end squiggles a lot during a ride.
@RykerRydes
@RykerRydes 2 жыл бұрын
The shock adjusters are really meant for heavy riders or those riding with a passenger. First thing, check your tire pressure. If they are correct, then you may want to invest in a Baja Ron (anti) Sway bar. I sell them on my etsy site if you are interested.

Yes and no. The red knob (damping) adjusts the shock (outside part) so you aren't bouncing around, whereas the spring adjustment that I did, adjusts the preload (the stiffness of the spring). They are 2 different things. But both are adjustable. Definitely consult with your manual.

Retired automotive engineer here, Changing the spring seat cam only changes the ride height and the distance to bottoming. It should only be increased if you have enough weight on board to cause bottoming, then it is most helpful. If you never bottom the shock, you are only changing ride height. Changing the rear ride height also reduces the effective caster in the front suspension, making steering lighter, but also reducing steering feedback and that is maybe what so many are talking about when they use the word "feel".
