Hi all I have 97cyclone with the showa K1400 replacement shock. I don't know if its just me getting old but my ride seems harsh and I'd like to play some with the compression settings. Need to know the recommended number of turns back from full damping for the stock setting and I can go from there. Any other helpful suggestions would be appreciated. | ||

From service bulletin B-035A To adjust rear shock to maximum damping settings,use screwdriver to turn slotted dial on appropriate adjuster clockwise until it stops.This is the maximum damping setting. To adjust rear shock to factory recommended settings,turn dial counterclockwise from maximum damping the amounts shown. Set compression damping using the slotted dial on the shaft at the rear of the shock. New factory setting is as listed: S1/S1W/M2/X1 Models:full damping minus 2.25 turns. S2/S2T Models:full damping minus 2.5 turns. 1997-1998 S3/S3T:full damping minus 2.5 turns. 1999-2000 S3/S3T:full damping minus 2.5 turns. Set rebound damping using the slotted dial on the remote reservoir at the front of the shock.New factory setting is as listed: S1/S1W/M2/X1 Models:full damping minus 1.5 turns. S2/S2T Models:full damping minus 1 turn. 1997-1998 S3/S3T Models:full damping minus 1 turn. 1998-2000 S3/S3T Models:full damping minus 1 turn. Note:When preload is increased,both compression and rebound damping should be increased.If preload is decreased,both compression and rebound damping should be decreased. |
