O.K. question for you suspention guru's. If the quad is coming back up and slapping me in the rear than I have to much rebound correct? Do I turn the adjustment on the bottom left or right to solve this? What are some of you other guys running for settings?

 

I have the compression set at 2 and the rebound opened up 15 clicks. Your weight will affect it. I weigh 170 #'s. I have tried the rebound all of the way from the stock setting of 10 all of the way to 20. With it at 20 it wants to pop up too quick & throw you over the bars. To open it up turn it counter-clockwise.

 

Turn it to your right if you are look at it from the top. I have heard others going with more open than the 10 clicks that it should be set at when it comes. I went in a click at a time until the back end was how I liked it of a couple of different kicker jumps. I am at 7 from closed. Changing my spring preload didn't seem to effect what worked best either. I can still get it to kick when I want it to but it doesn't suprize me anymore.

 

So let me get this correct. It comes set at 10 clicks from fully closed. Fully closed would be turning it to the right(clock-wise) till it stops correct? This would be slowing down the rebound. Then going counter clockwise or left speeds back up the rebound. Is this all correct. Turning it left and right I am looking at it from the back of the quad.

 

Correct, if you are standing behind the machine, turn it to the right to close or slow rebound. When you can no longer turn it, it is completely closed. Turn it back to the left and count the clicks, this speeds up the rebound. The best way to do rebound is close it, count back 15 clicks, so it is 15 clicks from being closed...this will be a fast setting. Now you have to ride over some small jumps, and if you feel it kick, close it a click, wash, rinse, repeat, until the quad no longer kicks and you can hold the front in the air just slightly higer than the rear when jumping. I can't remember for sure, but I belive I am also running 6-7 clicks from closed....I used to have it at 13 from closed, which is comfortable for slow trail riding, but is what caused me to roll over my nose at my last race and bend my steering stem...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I have it set at 8 from fully closed now. A group of us are riding tomorrow so I will give it test run thru some whoops and adjust from there. Actually, after messing with it, it looks like left is fully closed and then turn it right to rebound faster. Anyway, I was needing to get it dialed in because I almost done the same thing this weekend as you did Pudljumper only I managed not go over the bars somehow.

 

The best way to tell is that if you have it closed too far, take it through some whoops really slowly, and pick up a little speed, if rebound is too slow the shock will start to "pack-up" as they say and will not return to full travel fast enough. You want the shock to have the ability to use full travel for every bump without it rebounding to fast to send you doing an unwilling "freestyle fender-kiss"!!
