Rear Suspension
 

I took the rear suspension off, but is there a way i can take JUST THE SPRING off the assembly ?

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Why would you want to do that ?

Re: Rear Suspension
 

I kinda want to paint the springs. Just the springs !!

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Is it possible ?

Re: Rear Suspension
 

I am pretty sure there is paint available to adher to a flexing metal coil but I have no experience with it. I'm a rattle can and no moving parts kinda guy.

Re: Rear Suspension
 

yeah i got spray paint but i dont want to paint the whole thing. Cant figure it out. Looks like i can twist it forever then maybe it would come out, but i dont want to attempt it and have it not be equal with the other side

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Not too sure if you can remove the springs without a lot of effort and equipment. This may be one mod to pass up.

Re: Rear Suspension
 

hmmmm, you may be right

Re: Rear Suspension
 

You can't remove the spring from the shock without ruining the whole assembly :) :cool: .

Re: Rear Suspension
 

I didnt paint it but when putting it back on was rough. Seemed like it was just a little to low to hook into hole so i kept twisting the shock thinking it would change hight to reach to hook on as normal. But after a few tries it hit me, I lifted up the back of bike and told my wife to slip it on and BINGO, it went on Not sure if the twisting did anything to the shock like made it harder or softer ride.

Re: Rear Suspension
 

The twisting would not change you ride settings.The shock needs to be attached at both ends,to be able to move the adjustment.
:rawk: :)

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Are you talking about the 5 settings the bike has on the rear suspension? And how do you adjust that anyway? Mine is on the 5th setting.

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Just get a screwdriver. Push it in the hole, & twist the whole thing until it locates under the semicircular cutout that you want. Remember to do BOTH sides equally. Time taken - 2 seconds each side. Then go for a ride (taking the screwdriver with you). If it doesn't feel right, pull over to a safe place & try the next notch. :2tup:

Re: Rear Suspension
 

in the little 1/4 in hole ?

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Yep.Make sure whatever you use,that it fits in the hole snugly,as it takes a bit of pressure to turn it.
:) :cool:

Re: Rear Suspension
 

OK, Thanks guys.

Re: Rear Suspension
 

And don't freak out when it goes "BANG-OING!!" as it falls into the next position.

Going from 5 back to 1 is fun. Have your wife video your face the first time you do it ;)

Re: Rear Suspension
 

Oh my no don't do the video thing. Wifey might use it as evidence or blackmail material for years to come. :lol: :lol:
