i just purchased shocks off of ebay that have just been serviced and are set up for a 165 to 175lb rider. i weigh around 155 or so, do you think ill need them adjusted? and how would i do this just send them into works or possibly a nearby dealer? or since the weight is so close could i just do it myself and if i can how do i?

leave it the way it is man. once u get ur boots, helmet, and everythign on, u will be close to 160 pounds. plus when u get dirt on the machine.... there is ur extra 5 pounds u need. lol. and if u didnt take a dook before u raced..... well thats another pound or so.

Leave them they way the are. You are very close and the gear and all will get you almost there.

Ride it the way it is now. After a few rides decide whether valving or lower rate springs are necessary.

I bought Axis shocks on ebay and very soon realized the seller is not always truthfull in the description. So ride the quad as is then decide if they need work.
