OK I just found out that I can adjust my stock suspension!! What am I looking for?? I am not sure if it is just say like a how I like it type feeling or if I want it softer when riding certain places and harder on others? Let me know any thoughts! Thanks!!

 

Anyone? I know someone has "tuned" their suspension!

 

what kind of conditions do you ride in? I personally liked the setup for my front suspension because I do alittle bit of all types of riding, and when I jumped they were just stiff enough not to bottom out but soft enough to preload easy and be comfortable. For the back, you have 30 clicks of adjustment, and I set it 20 clicks to the soft and 10 clicks firm, so it was alittle softer then firmer to help absorb the shock of pretty much anything, but mainly when I cased jumps

 

Thats the thing I do both dunes and a little trail riding. I am thinking that I will make it nice and firm for the dunes and a little bit softer for the trails???


EDIT: PS thanks for the help!!

 

I have an 06 z400. I took it over a jump several times, and it bottomed out every time.

same here....well the fronts anyway. Just simply riding a wheelie down the other side of a birm can do it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Is there a general rule for setting the suspension sag, like with motorcycles?

 

Does the stock suspension on an '04 Z400 have any adjustment other than the Spring tension "Pre-load"?

Thanks,

Nope, only the 05 and 06 ones have it.
