It's much easier when you put a jack under the the swingarm and take the weight off the shock. That's how the dealership does it. Definitely put a towel or something on that swingarm when adjusting to avoid scratching that crinkle paint. Good video Beth

I was gonna say jacking up the rear would have made this easier, but you found that out lol. It seems like the Spyders/Rykers like a stiffer suspension setup.

Actually if you put a jack under the center of the body of the motorcycle the swingarm will open up and take pressure off the shock and they’ll be more room for adjustment.🦿That was a fun video Beth😉👍🏻✨

So, is tightening the shocks good only to prevent bottoming out, or will it help the overall "squiggly" feeling of the ride? I feel like my front end squiggles a lot during a ride.

@RykerRydes

2 жыл бұрын

The shock adjusters are really meant for heavy riders or those riding with a passenger. First thing, check your tire pressure. If they are correct, then you may want to invest in a Baja Ron (anti) Sway bar. I sell them on my etsy site if you are interested.

I've adjusted mine as well but haven't had the chance to ride it yet. Still awfully chilly here in central Ohio.

On the rally, you just need to turn the red cap. Correct?

@RykerRydes

3 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. The red knob (damping) adjusts the shock (outside part) so you aren't bouncing around, whereas the spring adjustment that I did, adjusts the preload (the stiffness of the spring). They are 2 different things. But both are adjustable. Definitely consult with your manual.

I din'td notice you loosening/backing off the top lock ring. Basically acts like lock nut does to prevent movement of lower adjustment ring.

@@RykerRydes oh ok I was wondering 👍🏾.

Retired automotive engineer here, Changing the spring seat cam only changes the ride height and the distance to bottoming. It should only be increased if you have enough weight on board to cause bottoming, then it is most helpful. If you never bottom the shock, you are only changing ride height. Changing the rear ride height also reduces the effective caster in the front suspension, making steering lighter, but also reducing steering feedback and that is maybe what so many are talking about when they use the word "feel".
