Adjusting 350x rear shock?

[ghak99]

Could some one please explain to me exactly how to adjust the rear shock. I haven't had it too long and it feels stiff, just explain the basics and I can surely take it from there.

Thanks in advance

On the resivour there is a compression adustment knob, as far as I know turning this one way makes it stiffer, turning it the other way makes it softer, on the bottom of the shock by the swing arm there is a rebound adjustment with 4 settings, I think number 1 it rebounds very fast, and 4 it rebounds slow. On the top of the spring is a spanner nut, loosening it will make softer, tightening it will make it harder. Not sure if this is the case on 3 wheelers, but on snowmoibles if you loosen the spanner too much when the shock uncompresses the spring gets play inbetween the top of the spring and the spanner nut.

That is just what I needed! If anyone disagrees or agrees post up just to be sure.

Thanks
