    Shock preload 08 FE450

    The manual has me a bit confused on the maximum shock preload allowed on a 08 fe450. I’m trying to get a PDS4 spring in the rider sag range. At 10mm preload I need to go a little bit more in the sitting position, 12mm should get me in the range. Static sag is way off but if the spring...

    05 vs 06 FE shock

    Just noticed the difference between clicker adjustments on these two years. 05 stock settings are 15 compression 22 rebound with 2 out on HS. 06 runs the opposite 22 compression and 15 rebound with 2 out HS. I assume this is not a typo and that the shock was configured differently for the...

    Should i change the spring of my rear shock absorber

    Piston rod nut removal on rear shock

    Stripping this 4681 rear shock, and the 22mm piston rod nut is proving very difficult to remove. There is no damage to the shaft threads. On top of the nut either side of the rod close to the threads is a small indent, it also looks like its had green loctite on it. So my question, is it safe...

    Modify FS Shock for offroad?

    I'm considering getting an FS650 and then convert it for offroad use (as there are more used FS than FE available). As far as I have understood the shock length is 21mm shorter on the FS, does anyone know how this is done and how it can be modified so that it gets the same as the FE? As for the...

    High Speed Compression Adjust 07 Shock

    Is this adjustment only velocity sensitive? Is it functional everywhere in the stroke or just during the final travel? Is there a limit to it's adjustment, i.e. stops moving at 4 turns out?
