#422110 tarcon (User) Try and keep trying Expert Boarder Posts: 526 Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   Does anyone know if I adjust the shock to a stiffer ride,Will it ride better with 2 riders?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k636/tarcon1/photo.jpg[/IMG]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #422111 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4200 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   It sure will if you are having a problem bottoming out or too soft of a ride. To me the OEM spring was a little weak so I change mine to a progressive spring. Now it rides like it should.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #422118 tarcon (User) Try and keep trying Expert Boarder Posts: 526 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   Thanks.

It's easy to do but acording to the manual it's only about a half inch if that, that you can tighten it.It will work until I put a bigger spring in.I weigh about 190 and she is about 170 but you didn't here that from me, ok.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #422123 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4200 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   It gets progressively stiffer as you add weight.

You can adjust to 2.25" safely. It does make a differance however; like Davej I feel the factory spring is weak and after say 15,000 miles two up it gets tired. I went with an LA Choppers spring and what a differance It was about $90 shipped.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/09/22 12:39 By Late4Dinner.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #422202 Late4Dinner (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   The Progressive spring is $80 plus shipping at Pacific Coast Star.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #422237 tarcon (User) Try and keep trying Expert Boarder Posts: 526 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   Thanks, I'll look into the spring. It seems you have to get it on a lift to adjust it,correct?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k636/tarcon1/photo.jpg[/IMG]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #422274 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Rear Shock Adjust 8 Months, 1 Week ago   Yea stock spring gets weak, I went with a Progressive spring and that was fine. Then I ran into some money and went with the Progressive 465 Adjustable. That's the final answer for two up and loaded. You can adjust the pre load on it in seconds, from one to two up to two up and loaded. Just what I needed. Worth the price.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
