Shock adjustments
« on: August 05, 2022, 09:54:15 AM »
I’ve been reading up on shock adjustments as mine seems to be riding very rough! I plan to upgrade to bandit springs at some point but at the moment I’m just looking to do some fine tuning to the stock setup. The problem I’m having is this;
The adjustment dials are not freely turning. Seem to be full of dust and dirt and grit. Has anyone come up with an easy way to clean this so adjustments can be made easier? So you can feel the actual clicks and know for sure if you’re all the way one way or the other? I can’t even count the number of clicks 🤦🏻‍♂️

Use canned brakeKlean and blast it in and around the shaft. Then with compressed air blow it out...about 3"s away. Then use a silicone spray or dry lube spray. Don't try and force them with all that grit in there and don't use WD or PB as they will damage the o-ring. Gently work then back and forth as you clean them.
Best settings I found was: Compressions(Uppers) all the way open to fast then one click toward the slow. Then on rebounds(lowers) all the way to the slow then open toward the fast 2 +- clicks.
