preload adjustment

[red2004 TRX450R]

I took 3 turns out for of the preload of my stock shocks. I could propley go almost 2 more.

the left front spring is kinda loose ( if you grab it and use some force you can move it from side to side a little) the right one is tight.
why is this if i took 3 turns about of both?

should I put a little more preload in them?

it only lowered it 3/8in. with me on it.

If your not too heavy and don't jump I would take all the preload off of all 3 shocks.

i did the same thing but with the rear instead. it didnt feal funy if that makes sence. as far as if one of the front shocks has more preload than the other meashure from the top of the duble rings to the top of the bottom retaining ring.

I'm a 180 and rarely go more then 4 foot in the air.

I do hard woods riding and c-b class XC.

I think if i take any more out of the front the sprig may be real loose! is that bad?

I took all of it out of my fronts....and they still suck.....so thats why they went to Derisi.....I can't wait to get them back this week and see how much difference there is........
