Great Video. I would have freaked out and thought I broke it when the shock dropped down to the lowest position. I am super glad I saw your video before messing around with mine. Thanks man!
thanks for the nice video,i have the same shocks like yours,im lightweight so i want it to make mine softer but i cant make it turn,can you explain what am i doing wrong?
Are you turning them the correct way? One way is easier to turn then the other. Try lifting the rear of the bike a little, relieve some of the weight will make them turn easier.
So i still have the stickers on mine, the right says its at the #2 spot, but the left read way off 1 passed 5. So i kept spinning until it shot from 5 to 1, to set it to #2 to match the right side, now they match #2 both sides but the shocks are obviously 1 taller than the other. So weird. Should I not trust the numbers & just even them up?
The shock that appears taller then the other, is it on the opposite side of the kickstand? If so, make the bike as even as possible, or if they aren't on the bike yet, don't run shocks that are shorter/taller then the other. When the shocks are off the bike, if they are both the same length, they should be OK. The adjustment is just to add or lessen ride stiffness
Am very curious I rode with my girlfriend the other day and noticed over certain bumps the engine would cut out but not when I had the clutch in am I over loading the bike? Thus overloading the chain and engine? A little help would be great can’t find nothing on forums 😊
If it happens when you go over bumps only, I'd check for lose connections or broken wires. Is there a wire under the seat that your girlfriend sits on?
Could be possible, if your part of the hondashadow.net forum you can post your issues and they will help you out. Could be something breaking the circuit causing the engine to cut out when the clutch is engaged
i did lift the rear of the bike a little to relieve some of the weight but i cant still turn it to make it softer,but i could turn it the other way to make it stiffer like you did lol,thanks anyway.....
At the 2 minute mark when you turned it and it popped and shot down is that bad and how do I go about fixing that or what do I do if that has happened? I have a similar bike and the same side did the same thing to me I’m just trying to figure it out. It’s my first bike and kinda learning everything from videos lol please help

No problem 👍 glad I was able to help

The arrow is to indicate what 'number' the shocks are set to, the stock shock has a sticker showing 1 to 5, so the arrow points to those.
Thanks for the info 👍

@@motoalley no sir there isn’t I was having some problems with my ignition module before? Maybe shaking it up to hard?
@@motoalley idk man it seems to not do it when I have the clutch in that’s why I was leaning towards to much load on the chain just kinda weird tbh

If so I'm just a fatass just got mine yesterday and it did same thing with me on it lol.dont think that's the case though
I'm gone do the same and alsaw tire pressure
Im 300 lbs usually riding solo and mine are all the way up.Makes for a smooth ride.
Thanks for the info 👍 I've still got them set at 3, alittle on the stiffer side for just myself
Hola, saludos desde México. Cómo se llama y qué medida es la llave que se usa?
The tool is a spaner(check spelling) wrench and I believe it's a 2 or 3inch
Where can I get that tool? Or just the proper name for it and I’ll search myself. Thanks
Proper name for it is the spanner wrench
It's in the tool box unther the seat,there alsaw owners manual 😊
So just I twist to the left if I wanna make them stronger? Meaning hold more weight?
What fairing do you have on your bike?
It's a kator batwing fairing from kapscomoto,
Can u replace w normal shocks
Can't see why not. As long as they're the right length and dimensions
i did lift the rear of the bike a little to relieve some of the weight but i cant still turn it to make it softer,but i could turn it the other way to make it stiffer like you did lol,thanks anyway.....
Keep clicking it stiffer and it'll eventually shoot down to the bottom
Must be chicken armed bro
Tool size?
I don't know off the top of my head, if I remember correctly it's around 3inches
At the 2 minute mark when you turned it and it popped and shot down is that bad and how do I go about fixing that or what do I do if that has happened? I have a similar bike and the same side did the same thing to me I’m just trying to figure it out. It’s my first bike and kinda learning everything from videos lol please help
I wouldn't say it's bad, keep turning it and it'll adjust up again, should click into place at each level
Should i get the bike off the ground when i do? I dint have a bike jack but i cant get one unless its still ok to do on the ground. @@motoalley
@scotthall3961 you can do it on the ground, it might be easiest to get someone to pull up on the rear just to get some of the pressure off the shocks
@@motoalley thank you so much.
No problem, hopefully I helped
Thanks dude.
Preciosa...saludos desde España
Thank you!!
