It is important that both shocks be adjusted to the same height. You loosen the (rear one) lock nut, then count the flats that you turn the front one and turn the other shock an identical amount.
You'll notice the rear fender rise or fall, whichever direction you choose. The higher you go the more shock travel you'll have. Many riders prefer to keep the fender 1-2 to 3/4" from the tire, like a Ridgeback, but it isn't usual to see an inch or inch and a half of fender travel between the fender and tire. The lower position of course lowers the bike slightly. I thought my K9 cornered a bit better at a lower setting, but the ride was stiffer.
ok. So I have the stock shocks on my K9 and I think it rides harder than it should. I tried searching for it, but what I found was for aftermarket shocks. Would like some assistance on how to adjust for a softer ride. Hopefully everyone can see the pic of what I am working with. I may have missed it in the search, but any help would be great. If I missed it in the search, a link to he thread would be good too. Thanx.
they are in the dropbox under the 07' manual
