If adjsuting the preload (if it's not a zps style) and the compression/rebound doesn't get it where you want it you can always send them off to a shock builder and have them resprung/revalved for your riding style/tastes.

my question is how do I do that on the shocks? I don't know a thing about adjusting them lol

i have a pair of tcs shocks on the front of my 250r.

the compression adjustment is a black knob on the rezzies

the preload should be the nuts on top of the springs. just loosen the top one and then chang the bottom one to your liking

as for the rebound i think that adjustment is inside the shocks and only tcs can change that

hope this helps

well to make them softer...shouldn't I mess with the compression settings? when i turn the knobs all the way left (Lower) or all the way right (higher) the suspension doesnt really change. Am I changing the wrong setting?

thanks
