Here I show you the easiest way to adjust the rear shock spring on your dirtbike. Shock spanner wrenches are pretty much useless so learn how the easy way!

  • Does this work on a Suzuki 85

  • @SCOOTTILLUPUKE Yes.

  • what should i do if some of the oil came out of that bolt that surrounds the rebound screw?

    is there any way i can refill it or do i have to pay to get my shock redone?responses will help!

    thanks

  • @thebradman1000 You'll have to get it serviced :(

  • does this "bottle" near the suspension contain gas? and if it empty, could it be reloaded?

  • @teo5dokos Nitrogen. Yeah, you can have it refilled at a shop.

  • @Johnnysshop is it cheap?

  • @01Dupie Have you tried to adjust all the settings out (counter clockwise). If so, how does that feel?

  • revalved? I am new in this I just had my rear shock rebuilded we also did all my bearings and still my rear shock sticks I have turned the settings on the shock and still the bike if I only press it it doesnt rebound at all. Any ideas? how to explain ok my rear spring when returned from rebuild was fatened in plase right to the bottom this in my terms almost fully compressed could this cause no rebound as well by just pressing on the seat

    Sorry for all the questions just want to fix her

  • @01Dupie Correct. You' can see how it feels with stock but you'll probably eventually want to go up on the front and rear. Stock that bike has .44kg front, 5.2kg rear. For you're weight you'd want at least .49 front, 5.6 rear. With that much change you'll want to get them re-valved as well.
