rebound

Hi all, I was riding my 2010 fx450 on the single trails with my brother yesterday in the Wombat State forest here in Victoria. Between trails we sometimes have ride down gravel roads that may also include a bit of a drag race. Yesterday's drag race saw me going a little too fast for the corner...

Dear Berg brothers, I have what could be a dumb *** question, I am hoping someone may shed some light on correcting my situation. Background: I recently had my forks 'serviced' - which seemed to consist of replacing seals and renewing fluids. The mechanic that did this returned the invoice...

Hello, I have had my suspension done professionally in the past After taking my fork caps off my 650 to change oil I noticed that the caps were bottomed out correctly onto the spindle of the Hydraulic stop but then the stop was brought up to the cap and tightened instead of continuing to tighten...

Hi all! Recently started to adjust my suspension on my 2003 FC550. Looking in the manual it says default rebound on rear suspension should be about 25 clicks. Problem is i only have 10 Clicks ?? And i can't feel any difference 1 click versus 10 clicks. It's still ok to drive but it feels like...

anyone had cause to break apart a pre-load cap? I need to dismantle the last part of this pre-load cap and I'm left with rebound pin looking at me. I can see two slots down the side at 180 degrees apart. regards Taffy

Hi guys, I would like to ask u something which i just found out today after getting my Husa 550 fe 2008 back from getting the rear suspension revalved. What i found out is that the rebound clicks now are 14 in total. The shock though seems to work OK and it reacts when increasing or decreasing...

i have a frozen rebound adjuster on my shock. i have inverted the shock, and pulled the rubber plug, to put some penatrating oil on the frozen part. is there another idea to correct this? thanx. 8O

I just changed the oil of the fork legs, and put both of them back together. I tried compressing each leg by hand and there seems to be much more rebound damping on the left fork leg. There is exactly the same amount of oil from the same bottle in each leg. I also checked that the preload...

With the standard shock spring, have members found a shock rebound setting they prefer to the standard rebound setting.

I wonder if anyone can help with this one, its an 03 fs650 and i stated fiddling with the suspension recently to find that on the right fork leg i have about 30 clicks of adjustment, and on the left leg only 15. Ive not had these apart before so i cant picture what that adjustment mechanism...

hey lads need your help again. i'm just after a new rebound tap. in my old parts book it part no 4860.0025 the thread was stripped on the post & the delta shims were doing the hoola hoop thing. i re-threaded it to a 5mm down from a 6mm. guess what happened ...not enough meat on the hollow...

So... I'm in the middle of greasing and cleaning stuff and I notice that - #1 - Somewhere along the line my shock spring got put on upside down (Not by me)... #2 - My rebound clicker is frozen solid. Remedied #1 by turning the spring over, as for #2, I'm at a loss. Without tearing...

Has anyone got a cleaver way of accessing the rebound adjuster on the shock? My last 3 rides have been in pouring rain, slop and mud. I'm getting to where I am fairly comfortable at adjusting the fork compression by feel, rather than lying on my back visually observing the screw roatating, but...

Well this is just a question to see if I got things right. Is the adjusters called compressiondamping and rebounddamping? If they are... that would mean that adding (+) on the compression would give you a harder suspension as you add damping to the way it compresses ... and adding (+)...

Well I put new springs on the 04 last night. Shock was first, then the forks. I put a PDS8 on the rear, and 48s in the legs. Went out for a spin, and remembered that I forgot to crank up the rebound a bit. So I grab my manual and attempt to crank the knobs to full tight, then back up to a...
