Would someone be kind enough to explain the term in english!
The three way adjustment on the rear shock!!!!!
The book says it controls shock dampening.
And why by moving that bolt a 1/2" up or down, change the shock setting.
By moving the shock, does that allow the rear skid to operate up or down easier or does it just produce a softer or firmer ride???????????
Please in lay-mans terms.
Thanks
 
Works for a firmer or softer ride because it is a leverage point.Like the guy trying to roll over a rock with a pole and a brick.If the brick is in the right spot it will roll easy if you move it back it gets harder.Its alot easyer to set that on firm than scewing the spring tighter for lets say a heavy rider.But in saying that there is no adjustmant that will help if your shock is getting pooched.
