300EX Raptor Rear Shock Tips ?

[Trevor]

Mine is going to be here this week sometime. So I was just wondering if there are any tips on the intalation of it and I was also wondering what I should set the preload and recoil at to start off with the setup of it. I am 5'9 and weigh 165 lbs should I set the preload at the middle and also the recoil at the mid aswell.I just wan't all the info I can get before I start into it I will be sure to take lots of pics of the install as I go.

The adjustments and settings will be different for everyone. Start in the middle and work your settings from there as you ride and tune them in.

you need a new bushing for each eye.

the stock shock bushing (the eye) is much wider.

just got my shock in my hands 10 min ago it looks awsome and it even came with a old shock cover but i wasn't expecting it anyways. now i just have to put it on and hope that it's not blown.
