Author Message   Netty2424 Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 07:32 pm:        I was given a Firebolt Service Manual with my 2004 Lightning XB12s and need to adjust my suspension. Are the specs the same for both R and S model? And until I can get my hands on the correct manual, can someone shoot me the factory specs for 225lb rider for both front and rear suspension? thanks in advance...   Pasteeater Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 04:32 pm:        Not sure about the specs, but I'm pretty sure that they are different for the R and S. The service manual for my 2009 XB9SX has different numbers for each model. I can shoot those to you if you want.   Gunut75 Posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 - 02:11 am:        When I put dirt bike bars on my XB12R, I had to start from scratch. It moved my weight back and made it veeeery wheelie happy. I would take the specs from the R and go up one notch of preload in the rear, and minus one line on the front preload. Check the sag from there. To fix my unicycling issue I put a Uly swing arm on.   Sandyg Posted on Friday, July 29, 2011 - 10:31 am:        I am a newbie. I have a 2010 XB12Scg. I am the second owner - but the bike is actually new - it only had 27km on it when i purchased it. I am trying to figure how to adjust the preload on the front forks. I didn't get a owners manual with it - still waitin for the dealership to get me one. I was given a manual for a 2008 model - but looking at the pics - I am not sure if there is a difference. On mine there is a pinkish nut with the set screw for the damper adjuster - and under that there is a larger black nut - but when I tried to adjust the larger one - it seems as if it is just a cover for the top of the fork... Help Sandy   Blake Posted on Friday, July 29, 2011 - 12:32 pm:        Turn the pinkish nuts to adjust sag/preload. Turn both exactly the same amount.   Sandyg Posted on Friday, July 29, 2011 - 05:40 pm:        I wasnt sure where to go - so i had started a new Conversation on the suspension page - - I posted a pic of the top of my forks there. i tried turning the nuts - and they move ok - - but no lines or marks could be seen - - it was as if it was just turning.?.
