Just got my 09 and I want to firm the suspension some, I am 180 and ride a lot in the NJ sand. I checked the owners manual and it does not ever say which way to turn the adjuster screws to firm up the suspension. Anyone have any tips or know where I can find info on how to adjust it?

 

At 180 my guess is to turn it to 12 front and rear.....


Go counter clockwise to reset and go 12 clockwise clicks to start with......Should get ya to a happy medium.......

Really doesnt matter with your new bike....Ride the **** outta of it and the fun you will have you will forget about seat comfort.....

Ok dumb question, where can I geta wrench to adjust the rear shock, so I can turn the ring that compresses the spring?

 

Your tool kit that came with the bike, or a "blunt" screwdriver. Be careful not to hit the threads.

 

Dumb question, which tool in the kit?

 

The spanner wrench it looks like a hook with a notch on the end

I used these settings for the shock and it worked real well. Need to upgrade springs, although fork settings were OK.
