Suspention set ups

[KMasty]

The rings adjust the preload of the rear suspension. There should be a dial for the rebound(top) and compression(bottom). When adjusting preload you measure the sag between suspension fully depressed and sitting on the bike(sag is the difference). Then the compression and rebound is basically on feel.

Check out some vids on YouTube to adjust your sag then you can play with the compression/rebound to find where you want it.

If I have anything wrong please correct me. I have just been researching this lately and haven't started playing with my own bike yet.

This I could understand. Thats why I won't personally go very far from a normal bike setup. Only a spin or two on the compression/rebound dials. I'm not a very big guy though so little adjustment would go a long way in my mind.
