Rear Sping Adjusting For A Scrambler

[mike29]

hey I am having trouble trying to adjusting my rear spring on my scrambler. I can not turn the screw to adjust the srping Does anyone know how and what i should use to move it?

The correct way should be to use a spanner wrench and remove any obstructing parts etc.

The popular way is to take a hammer and screw driver and give it a bunch of good whacks.

Spanner wrenchs are avail from most dealers and industrial supply houses, and you know where to get the other stuff

Be sure to lift the back of the bike so the swingarm is fully extended , this will release a lot of tension off the spring

What did you set it to? I know that I need it a little stiffer, but not sure where to set it. I weigh 185lbs. What does everybody have theres at?

There should be a tool in the took kit that comes with the quad for that.
