my rear shock on my bike, the compression adjuster just keeps turning n never stops and my rebound only has 1 adjustment (its seized a bit) if i set the preload for my weight will that be extremely dodgy because i cant set the comp or rebound?

Whats the rebound like? is it returning to quick * is it tryin ta buck ya off * is the back end bottoming out? if no to any of these then it should be ok to back of the shock a bit ..... just try it n see.

im not the most experienced with this sorta stuff but to mee the rebound is ok if you push it down it returns not too quick n it never tries to buck me off n keeps good traction, n yea the back end is bottoming out. its not backing the spring off i need to do i need to stiffen it as when i sit on the bike the back end sinks quite far

cheers

Stiffen it up then

Stiffen the shock by turning the two castle nuts on top of the shock, do this when the bike is on its stand. Measure from a point on the swingarm ie. axle to a point higher up on the bike something in a arc movement then take the bike off its stand. Sit on the bike and have a friend retake the measurement ...... you should be looking for a measurment around 90/100mm less.

cheers dude ill get my dad to give me a hand doin it dunno when ill get it done cos i fractured my elbow last saturday so im in no rush for it to be done haha

evo, if your shock is as you describe, its fooked and needs a service. you are wasting your time trying to adjust it, just get it sent off to a good suspension guy and get it repaired and serviced.

yea i know its pretty much fucked but i aint got the cash to spend on it wish i did but i just aint lol

yea but as sir davey said its still fucked and needs a good service when you get the dosh
