Cheers question 1 and 2 is adjusted by the flat headed screw on top of right hand fork, clockwise = more damping question 3 and 4 is adjusted by flat head screw on top of shock facing airbox, clockwise = more damping question 5 is preload adjusted by compressing or relaxing rear spring. large silver nuts at bottom of spring question 6 is preload adjuster, allan key on top of left hand fork, clockwise = more preload. ie less sag Edited February 15, 201115 yr by jokerr
February 16, 201115 yr Now that you know where all of the adjustments are. Set the front and rear sag with you aboard the bike so that the bike settles about 1 1/2" to 2" into its stroke. Then set the rebound adjusters so that the susension rebounds as quickly as possible without causing you to loose control and veer off your line. Keep in mind a fast rebound speed makes the bike easyer to hop but you will loose climbing traction especially in slippery conditions. By experimenting you will find that suspension setup is very personal and based on how you like the bike to feel and the type of terrain and conditions you ride.
