Darn it! Which clicker on the shock slows the rebound???

 

Hey fellas!

I keep getting confused - the rebound and compression clickers on the
forks and shock are opposite, correct?  (Upside down forks and
traditional shock).

The back end on my YZ250 '04 is rebounding too quickly - almost
throwing me over the bars.  I wanna slow it down a bit.  Is this
correct:  I should turn the screw IN a couple of clicks and the
correct clicker screw is the top clicker on the shock.  Or am I
confused?

Thanks all!!!!!!!!

Scott

 

I'm not sure about your Yamaha, but on my bike the rebound adjustment
is a black knob at the bottom of the shock, just above the lower
mounting bolt.
To increase rebound damping, turn the knob clockwise.  (This is from
the perspective of someone laying on the ground, looking up at the
bottom of the shock, and turning the knob clockwise above you.)

 The compression damping is controlled by the "screws" at the top,
where the "piggyback" reservoir connects to the shock.  The high speed
compression damping is the screw, and low speed damping is controlled
by turning the nut around the screw.

 I never move adjusters more than 2 clicks at a time.  Then test ride
and adjust again.

I hope that this helps for your application,, and I haven't thrown you
a curve by giving you directions for GasGas.

Good Riding and Wrenching!

Jim
