Title: Rebound adjustment
Post by: Colorado700R on July 19, 2008, 08:57:31 PM

I adjusted my buddys KFX450 shocks for preload, compression and rebound, and he's happy as a clam with the result  :grin_nod:

I messed with my own for Rebound on the rear shock because I was getting "kicked" on some whoops.  I first started with 2 clicks to slow the rebound, no effect  :mad:  two more, same  :mad:, full tilt, no effect  :'(


Is my rear shock busted  ??? :'(

Hey just thought I would sign into the forum that Peels is so proud of but any way your should set you rebound faster so your shock fully extends before you hit the next bump. by slowing it down you are letting your shock stay compressed longer and that is why you get kicked because it is extending as you are hitting the bump.I had the same issue with my banshee and it fixed it, now I just sit back and open her up and hope I don't die. :grin_nod:

The problem I'm having is to to the shock returning to full extension to quickly, I think my rebound dampener is shot  :(
