THE PERFECT FIT
Suspension Adjustments
Shock Compression Damping (RMK/ASSAULT RMK)
The primary adjustment for overall vehicle balance is RTSS preload.
Perform this adjustment first. See page 42. After adjusting RTSS pre-
load to your satisfaction, compression damping adjustments can be
made to control ride quality and bottoming resistance.
800 RMK Damping
Make the adjustments in half-turn incre-
ments, then test ride.
To stop bottoming, turn the damping
screw clockwise one half-turn, then test
ride. Repeat the adjustment until bottom-
ing stops and the desired ride quality is
achieved.
ASSAULT RMK Damping
Compression damping can be adjusted at
the front suspension and at the rear track
shock. Make adjustments in 2-click incre-
ments, then test ride. When adjusting the
front suspension, always adjust both
clickers equally.
To stop bottoming of the front or rear sus-
pension (stiffer ride), rotate the clicker(s)
clockwise two clicks (as viewed from the
top of the clicker), then test ride. Repeat
the adjustment until bottoming stops and
the desired ride quality is achieved.
For a more plush ride at the front or rear
suspension, rotate the clicker(s) counter-
clockwise two clicks, then test ride.
Repeat the adjustment until the desired
ride quality is achieved.
