stock shocks...

[4cfed]

i know the stock shocks suck.. and suck even more for abigger rider.. but im surious to the adjustments on them... where should i set the fronts and where should i set the rear for 'proper' pre load on it?? ima big guy 255, so i know i should really upgrade to better shocks but funds dont alow this right now.

preload has to do with body position..

well. you seen my vids.. look like the rear is set right?? and fronts? maybe change to a lower setting to sofen it a lil?

well unless the settings got changed, they are on the softest from the factory. then you can make them stiffer with a shock wrench.

ok.. i have never touched them.. so.. which notch would be the firmest?? i been thinking an di think a firmer setting would be better for my weight,

Im not sure what ox had his shocks set at but I got them from him an bolted them on my bike and they are stiff as all hell. So if you dont have a shock wrench maybe ill trade you shocks or at least you can try them and see how you like stiff fronts cause I hate them. We'll do it when we ride, it only take 5 min. to swap shocks so itll be easy at least.

you can use a big pair of channel locks to do the fronts there easily turned thats what i did, the highest notch is the softest setting and vice versa
