December 1, 200520 yr just got a 99 sherco, the suspension is a bit soft 4 me, i want it more like a pogo stick! so i can hop it a round a bit, could som 1 explain witch way 2 ajust the top of the forks? and what is the best setting also same with the rear shock, thanks rob!
December 1, 200520 yr Author just realy want 2 no witch way does wot on top of the forks! and can u ajust the rear shock? if so how ,thanks rob
December 1, 200520 yr It's been a while, but on the front forks, I'm pretty sure the left one adjusts compression damping and the right one is rebound. As for the shock, only the preload is adjustable bu the collar under the spring. Loosen the set screw before you adjust.
December 1, 200520 yr Author any idea witch way i turn them? i want my sus 2 be very springy, my m8s gasgas is g8! its very bouncy, and i want 2try and get mine like it, i havent turned anything just yet!
December 2, 200520 yr I think you'll just have to experiment. I think clockwise is more damping, but I could be wrong. If everything is working, you'll notice a difference when you twist them all the way in one direction.
December 3, 200520 yr The internal wrenching side (LT) clockwise mwkes the spring tighter. I beleave clockwise on the knob restricts fluid on the right fork.
December 3, 200520 yr for what its worth adjusting the preload of the spring, front or rear only alters the attitude of the bike . it doesn't make it more springy, it only alters where in the suspension travel availible, the bike will work. to make any bike more bouncy you have to either reduce rebound and compression damping and/ or change the spring rate ie get a stronger spring. but you have damping for a reason http://www.dfaulknersprings.com/ this is the company i use for my racebike cheap as chips steve.
