Keen to adjust your REAR Motorcycle SHOCK? Not sure what you should turn, how far and which direction? Before you start, it helps to learn the basic Suspension Terminology and what each adjustment actually does and how a motorcycle shock works. In this video, I clarify the basic terminology and the WHY behind the WHAT we all need to understand, to get started confidentially adjusting our own Shocks.
This is a Step-By-Step walk-through of the main terms, some of those being Preload , Travel, Compression and Rebound and more...
So before you order a new shock, make sure you know what the Language of Suspension is all about....
In 10 minutes I take you through, STEP-BY-STEP common terminology, such as:
- Preload
- Travel
- Free Length
- Compression
- Rebound
- and more....
🔔 This knowledge applies to all standard suspension motorcycles

Hi @cliffvantoor5102, great to hear you enjoy the videos. As for the exact seat height, it depends on both the cartridge kit and rear shock. So exact measurements should be obtainable from the manufacture of the combined kit. Ride safe 👊✊️👍
Oh, something else. Do you know anywhere in New Zealand that repairs/improves BMW ESA 1 or 2 shocks? (Not dynami ESA). Wanting to replace/repair on my k1200S.

Hey there @metal2metallica, oh the joys of living in New Zealand when something breaks. For ESA you could try Precision Yamaha in Christchurch, or CMG who have just taken over the BMW Service license recently. Or BMS (Barvarian Motorcycle Services) all in Christchurch. Sorry not sure where you are. If they can't do it, they may know someone who can. Worst case scenario, but a little more costly yet cheaper than a new shock, is to send it to the Netherlands (John) at ESA Repair Suspension will definitely be able to fix it, if anyone can. If the shops above can't help you, you may want to have a search in Auzzie before shipping to the Northern hemisphere. Good luck, let me know how you get on. Take care out there 👊✊️👍😀

@outtheresomewhere thanks for the suggestions! I will try those places in ChCh, if not then I will attempt to send to either Netherlands like you suggested or to T-Tech in London (ESA specialists). Not sure of the ins and outs of sending international for repair. Thanks again from Palmerston North.
