8. While the wheels are off, now is a good time to make any adjustments to the shocks, like Compression/Rebound/Pressure​


a. Rebound/Droop is adjusted in the shock shaft and it is turned 1/4 turn for each sweep, a tip here is that more rebound will help with Turn-in going into a corner on the rear only. Transfer less weight to the front and allows turn-in much better.​



b. Bump/ Compression is adjusted with the reservoir canister and it has 5 settings, we always start in the middle number #3 and make adjustments as necessary, like going to the number #2 setting and makes the front end softer for better stick in the corner.​



c. Pressure is the resistance to the fluid in the canister and it is Nitrogen. You need a Schrader valve gauge to test this under pressure, most of the time it is in the 300# Range, but we have gone as low as 50# on KMP259 to get better turn in and better stick in the corner.
