Read the manual and it says adjust from 1-5 for light to stiff.. using a drift?
ok so i know this should be easy but can someone tell me what a drift is first??
and also how to adjust these shocks? i look at my shocks where it says to adjust and all i see is a hole with a chrome at the bottom of it? how do i know if they are on 1 2 3 4 or 5 ?

thanks and sorry for my wasting space but i did look and search for the answer before posting such question...

I use a phillips screwdriver(as a drift).If you take your shocks off,turn them upside down.Under that chrome piece it will look like steps.You will see a point resting on a step.If they are closer to the bottom step(bottom of shock)they are in the "soft" setting.The higher you go the stiffer they will be.
                             

I like to get some non-oily lube on the notches for the shock adjustment.  Oil stuff will just hold dirt.

If we call the softest setting the #1, then #2 is the factory setting.  I'm 200# plus riding gear, and I like the #3 setting for solo riding.

This is about a drift, or drift pin, or drift pin punch


Whatever you use, you want a good fit to keep from deforming the hole.
