Is there an easy way to adjust the spring tension of the rear shocker ?
Permalink  
 

Hi there everyone !

my rear suspension is way to hard even after adjusting the dampening to soft and the adjuster on the bottom of the shocker.

I would like to back off the spring tension by undoing the two adjusting nuts ( I have the tool for this ) but getting to it looks a tad difficult, can you simply remove the battery box to get to it and also have enough room to do the adjusting or do I need to remove the air box which I really don't want to do ?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

cheers and regards, James from Oz 🍻

If you remove just the battery box you will be fine wink

Hi there and Thanks again , removed the battery box and saturated the top of the spring locking nuts with WD 40 as they were really stuck tight and " Shazam" ! I was able to loosen the spring tension with ease , infact I think I have backed it off a little too much but now I know it's not that difficult to do if I need to tighten a little.

Cheers , James from Oz 🍻👍🏻
