I know the stock raptor shocks aren't the greatest thing on earth but i don't want to replace the shocks yet.
If I adjust the shocks to there hardest setting how much is it going to change them from stock form. Right now when I jump it's pretty easy to bottom them out.
I don't weigh all that much ether about 160. I want to do some trail riding with it also is tightening them all the way up going to make it ride like a rock?

Thanks.

 

Increasing preload on the front shocks controls body roll and will make the Raptor handle a little better. Of course it will ride a little harsher....you can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

Thanks Gary.
I think i'll set them to the highest setting.
hopfully they'll take to some small jumping.

 

the fronts all u need is a spanner wrench, back is kinda hard to get to, on the stock shocks tho, it doesnt changet to much, a little maybe. but u can alwyas change them back, very easy

 

Guess i'll have to try to find a cheep spanner wrench online.
Even a little change is better then what I have now. It bottoms out too easy if I don't land perfect.

 

I read somewhere you do not need a spanner wrech and you could get away with using <u>blank</u> I cant remeber what it was...if I see it again, ill let you know.

 

Thanks man.

 

take the shock off the bike and you can use a bench vice and set of channel locks or a pipe wrench. Thats what I use anyway.
