Alright fellas is there a trick to this deal or what. That chinzy **** tool they provided is not exactly user friendly if you know what I mean. Is there a certain way that you need to turn the little adjuster or will it work fine going either way. I was able to adjust the front ones but those back ones dont move for nothing.

Great big channel lock pliers is what I use the tool they give you is useless.

You mean you guys just done grab it and turn like I do?

if you jack up the fourwheeler they are really easy to turn with less load on the spring.

True that.

What setting have most of you guys found to work best? I am not a big guy, weighing 180 lbs.



kinglivinbig -> RE: Adusting the Spring load with Suzuki Provided tool? (9/4/2008 7:12:22 PM)

i run mine all the way up in front and all the way down in back and im weighing at 250 so you do the math



AlaskaCub -> RE: Adusting the Spring load with Suzuki Provided tool? (9/4/2008 7:22:48 PM)

Not being much of a performance minded rider can someone explain to me what the benefits are of turning them all the way up or down? Most of the stuff I ride in is rough trail, lots of bumps and ruts and not at too fast a speed.



kinglivinbig -> RE: Adusting the Spring load with Suzuki Provided tool? (9/4/2008 8:26:41 PM)

the higher the tighter for mud
the lower the loser for ruff trails like you stated
i have mine set al the way up on front and down on back to make it sit level its good for trails and lite mud

     [sm=exactly.gif] Though it is a Motha' to get them adjusted afterwards, especially if tyopu ride mud/water! [;)] I never could readjust my old 700, & that was before I was any kind of mud/deep water rider! Later                     Brandon

Jack it up and just use a big pair of channel locks as stated about easy and fast. But if your looking for a smooth ride try taking off the sway bar and see how you like that.
