|   5th element help please | fat and slow old Ugly
Oct 17, 2002 11:42 AM | | Okay, here's the deal: I have a 2002.5 Bullit with a 5th element shock. I set it up to the recommended settings for my weight (160). It rides well but is seems quite harsh on bigger hits (4+). I would like to balance the no-bob with a plush feel on bigger hits. I know this is possible put I just can't seem to get it right. Is this a high-speed compression adjustment, an air volume adjustment? any help would be really appreciated. also, if Larry from progressive reads this, can you post your e-mail so I can e-mail you with questions. cheers, uofs |

The air pressure and beginning stroke affect spike and air volume and ending stroke affect bottoming. If after you lower air pressure it sags too much then increase spring preload a little. hope this helps!! |
