OK I have done a lot of searching and I think I got this much down:
(by the way this is for the 450r)
Sag/Pre-load
Loosen nuts at top of the springs to lower the quad which gives you more sag.
Tighten nuts at top of the springs to raise the quad which gives you less sag.
Rebound – downward motion of the shock (Bottom screw):
Turn to the right (clockwise) makes the shock move down slower.
Turn to the left (counter-clockwise) makes the shock move down faster.
Compression – upward motion of the shock (Top screw):
Turn to the right (clockwise) makes the shock move up faster.
Turn to the left (counter-clockwise) makes the shock move up slower.
I have been searching and the terminology seems to be different in the posts that I have found. Could someone please give me some examples of when to adjust rebound and compression. I ride mx and weigh about 190lbs with gear on.
I think that I have the sag part down; the quad should have about 8 inches of clearance if measured at the pegs and right behind the back lower a-arm mount. Thanks
