K75S Progressive Shock Question
« on: January 04, 2013, 08:30:52 PM »
So a Progressive shock was on my '88 K75S when I bought it. The only information on the shock is:

1155 250/130

There is also a dial with 1 through 5 marked on it.

Searching the web I've found a 465-1155, and the shock looks just like that one.

My question is, what does the 1 through 5 mean? I'm 200 lbs., and it was set to 1 when I bought the bike. Should I be riding at a higher setting?

I believe it's rebound dampening.

Drop Progressive support an email and they can probably hook you up with a PDF on how to get it dialed in.

If and when they do, please share it here and I'll put it in The Lieberry.
