How to Adjust Rear Suspension

If the suspension is “bottoming,” tighten the compression screw clockwise in 1/2 turn increments until the bottom-

ing stops or on Ryde FX equipped suspensions, turn the adjusting lever towards the FIRM or SOFT settings.

Backing off 1/4 turn counter-clockwise at this point should give you the best possible ride ensuring use of the full

travel of the suspension. The opposite procedure should be used if the suspension is too stiff upon initial set-up.
If bottoming continues after the screw is turned in full clockwise, the torsion spring should be adjusted using the

adjustment block. Back the screw out to the original starting position after torsion spring preload has been in-

creased.
Riding conditions are ever changing. Keep in mind the Indy Select / Ryde FX shocks can be adjusted at any time

to achieve the best possible ride in any condition.

NOTE:

Whenever shocks are replaced or reinstalled for any reason, the adjustment screw should be located to-

ward the forward right side of the suspension. Access to the adjuster is not possible if reversed.
