Stock shocks adjustments

[400ex4ever]

I posted this on another site and have got no replys. Can some one answer me this question?

Shock's post (http://www.trx450r.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1601)

What does the screw at the bottom of the shock adjust?

Thanks

It adjusts the rebound.

Thanks.

Does the rear shock have the same adjustment. I want to reduce the bucking over the whoops until I can get an aftermarket setup.

The back does have the adjustment as well. You have to be careful not to set the rebound to slow or it will not have enough time to rebound and pack on tight whoop sections which will make the ride really harsh.

Have mine 3 clicks back from fastest and spring wound off and seems to be best setting for motox? :)

Its hard to get everything perfect without professionals doing R&D....I personally think the manufacturers should have shock setup reccomendations in the manual,,,,to atleast get you close. Rebound also depends on how much you weigh......I weigh 150 so my rebound is set almost all the way hard (slow). Now if I weighed 300 pounds, it would be the opposite.


Good luck!
