The 5/64 Hex Key (larger one) is for adjusting the setscrew on the pre-load
collar, snug it up. Behind the screw is a plastic nylon ball, its purpose is to
prevent damage to the threaded body. The pre-load collar controls your spring
tension, ride height and your overall spring rate.
The 1/16 Hex Key (smaller one)
is for adjusting the rebound if needed. Keep the rebound
adjuster free from dirt. The rebound adjuster is the
round wheel with holes on the lower shock eyelet. Moving
the adjuster counter clockwise as you are viewing from
above will slow your rebound down. This is a precision
sweep adjuster, not a click adjuster. Each pass of the
window is called one sweep. When adjusting, count your
sweeps from the fully closed position this is the
easiest way to keep track of where you are.
The spanner wrench is for
adjusting the cross-over rings. When moving these rings
make sure they are not bound up by the weight of the
bike. If this occurs they will be impossible to move.
You will need to get the weight of the bike off the
shocks if you do this by accident. The rings must stay
together to create a stop for your adjustable spring
progression. Moving the cross-over rings higher
will give you a softer set-up. Consequently, moving the
cross-over’s lower will stiffen your set-up. Be sure to
keep the springs in time. It is imperative that the
upper spring locks out before the spring below it. After
you have a feel for things, focus mainly on the
cross-over’s behind the middle spring on a triple rate
set up. This will give you the most notable gains in
performance.
After the shocks are on the
bike make sure all cross-over rings and pre-load collars
are tight.
The compression adjuster is
located above the reservoir. It has approximately 15
clicks of adjustment. Screwing this in will stiffen your
bike. Do not keep turning the adjuster out after it
stops clicking. Damage can occur.
