Adjusting rear shocks (Read 52 times)

jcstokes Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com is very useful Posts: 2119 Mauku New Zealand Gender:	Adjusting rear shocks 12/10/13 at 20:50:48 Is it necessary to remove the rear shocks to stiffen them up? I can get to position three on the bike, then the 6mm threaded rod I'm using starts to bend. I'd like to try position 5 and back off to suit.
