THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Shock Damping
Adjustments to the compression
stiffness of Indy Select or
RydeFX SOLO shocks can be
made by turning the adjustment
screw (Select) or actuator
(SOLO), located near the base of
the shock (A). This adjustment is
the easiest to perform and it
should be considered first. A
clockwise adjustment will
increase stiffness in both styles of
shock, but there are some
differences.
Indy Select Shock
The factory setting for this shock is the softest position, with the
adjusting screw all the way out (counterclockwise). If bottoming
occurs, the Indy Select feature should be used to achieve the desired
ride. The shocks have a wide range of adjustment capability. By
turning the screw clockwise, the compression of the shock increases,
stiffening the ride. When adjusting these shocks, we recommend that
you turn the screw only 1/4 turn at a time, then test ride. Always
adjust both shocks equally.
RydeFX SOLO Shock
The factory setting for this shock is at
medium stiffness, with the clicker
knob (B) set at position 4. The
clicker can be actuated with the
thumb and forefinger. If bottoming
occurs, rotate the clicker clockwise to
the next higher number. If full shock
travel isn’t being used, rotate the
clicker counterclockwise to the next
lower number. When adjusting these
shocks, we recommend that you turn
the clicker only one click at a time,
then test ride. Always adjust both
shocks equally.
