Torsion spring set up

[Simplespeed]

Simplespeed, I just want to make sure I’m understanding, so I should dial out all preload on my centre shock & then add 1 turn approx like I did on the ski shocks?

Center front shock if its right will have about 1” of threads showing and that will not bottom and helps in handling… Rear spring plastic adjustors should not crack and I run them on stiff setting. i also take load off when I rotate them. Front Springs on shocks have about 3” of threads showing which allows A arms to run level.. Your shocks need to be maintained and in good working order.

Thanks for all the input guys. My rear shock was replaced under warranty this fall. It has 800klm on it. The rest of the shocks have 3000k on them.

not horrible but will need them done before 5000 km for shure. i tend to get mine done every 2nd season and i probably should be doing mine more as i tend to be around 5000 km when i get them done.

On my 2024 I adjusted both front shocks to position #1 ( weakest setting ) and tested for 20 miles of tight trails with small to medium bumps and really it handled good and cornered well. I then adjusted both front shocks to position #2 and ran back on same tight trail and really hard to notice much of a difference.. I then adjusted to position #3 and sled developed a high side ski lift and did not want to turn well at all..This shock setting strickly really rough terrain setting… EPS and good carbide is important and either setting one or two will work well.
