Rear Preload
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all,
I've just bought a 1995 cbr600f without an owners manual and I want to check/adjust the rear
preload setting but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have the c spanner that was in the tool kit and I
have a ring with numbers on it (1 to 7) at the base of the shock absorber which I have tried to turn but it
won't move, am I missing something ? as I have strained both ways but it's stuck, also is there a mark
somewhere that the numbers are supposed to line up with ?.
Any help gratefully received
Dave.

Give it a good yank it'll move... the stock setting is 3 I think for a normal joe, but I run mine on 5... don't forget everyone is different so experiment and see whats comfortable for you, I had real trouble getting mine round long bends until I saw the previous owner had it on #1 so there was no weight on the front. don't forget the rebound and compression damping too.
