hello everyone, I am trying to adjust the preload on my rear shock and can not seem to figure it out. Is it the huge nut on the back of the shock? if so it must just be really stuck because i cant move it at all. if its something else than im trying to twist the wrong thing. i want to make it stiffer. |

The larger nut is the locking nut, The smaller thin nut is the actual adjustment nut. The nut must be turned counter clockwise or towards the rear of the bike for increased pre-load. And towards the front of the bike or clock wise to decrease it. Use a penetrating oil. Don't forget to grease 180 degrees of the face of the adjuster nut and locking nuts face. |
