LTX LE Rear shock

[BTbt]

Does the rear track shock have rebound adjustment? I see a small nut at end of shaft. Specs on Yamaha web site say rear shock is QS3R_

it looks like it does as there is an arrow with a + sign .

Yes. that screw is the rebound adjustment. not a knob like the front.

Owners manual does not show picture of rebound adjuster on rear track shock or the front ski shocks.
The manual states on page 35 Rebound Adjustment is made by turning the KNOB or by using a
SMALL FlatBLADED Screwdriver to turn the adjuster.

Owners manual is vague at best

Here's a pic of owners manual

Here's what owner manual states on page 36 about rear track shock for QS3

Owners Manual does not list it as a QS3R?

Can someone explain what the dampening does? By turning towards the plus sign does this make it rebound faster or slow it down? I never has these type of shocks and have no clue what each adjustment does.

dampening slows down compression ,rebound speeds up shock return to full length .

On the QS3R turning the rebound adjuster clockwise slows the rebound turning it counter clockwise speeds up the rebound.

I think about the rebound like a water valve. When you turn it clockwise (remember righty-tighty) you are closing the valve, restricting the oil passage, making it rebound slower. When you turn it counter clockwise, you are opening that valve up, allowing more oil flow and a faster rebound.

Also rebound does effect compression on these shocks. Adjust rebound for the fastest whoops section you can find. The skid needs to go down into the valleys of every single whoop. So faster without kick is better do this rebound adjustment first before adjusting compression. Helps to have a buddy kneel down to the side of whoops section and watch your suspension because it's hard to tell if you are just bottoming or bottoming because the suspension never fell down in time for the second or third whoop.
