[tyler1blaster]

hey guys i am so close to puttin my atc rear shock on, but i wanna adjust it before it goes on..... so can someone plz tell me what to turn, adjust, or whatever.... thanks

It would be easier to adjust it once its installed and you've ridden the quad. What someone likes on there quad might not suit you on yours

go to you tube and search for oconnor racing, or ken oconnor,
he posted a link last week when he was sellin them 400ex shock bushings, which by the way are saweeeet, got mine last week, he has a vid that shows the shock install and some info on setting it up, should be real close to the 250r
good vid!!!!!!

on my 250r shock, the stock bolt works, all you need to do is grind the little thin collar on the top mount.....tyler on the top of the shock does yous shock have the little collar on it...its like a brown or copper color? if so just gring that a little bit till it fits in between the shock mount, but dont cut it off all the way, just grind it down till if fits and is even on both sides.......grease the bushing, and then slide the stock bolt in, and bolt it in, but not fully tightend down.......and then put the bottom shock mount line it up in the swinger, put the big pin back in then put the cotter pin back through the big pin and the bottom is down, and tighen the top mount down and it should be ready...let me know if i didnt make sumthing clear enough

on mine that bottom pin is WAY too small for the holes on the 250r shock.

 

[blaster01]

mine wasnt that much smaller, just a slight bit smaller, and i still used it, jumped it, beat on it...never had anything wrong

 

[brandoz28]

mine has more play than i am comfortable with.

 

[jfblasterboy65]

nah he doesnt need those bushings and the top is alrede shaved down hes got my old 250r rear shock and when i got it the guy before me shaved the rop collar... its a pretty much bolt on and go shock just needs some adjustments for his style of riding

thanks everyone once i can give reps again u all will get some edit: u have given out to much reputation in the last 24hrs:

 

[brandoz28]

mine may have been drilled out because i've got at least 1/8th of play in my bottom mount....
