    Default AGX Shocks Adjustment Procedure

    I was curious so I shot KYB the following question.

    ... can you adjust for 1 directly to 8, or do you recommend that you go 1,2,3....to 8?

    There reply was : It will not hurt the units to go directly from #1 setting to #8.

    It actually does on the NA's, but the decided that NB guys couldn't handle the pressure that's why you only get 4 adjustments vs. 8.

    I have a NA with 8 point adjustment. I like 4 on the street. I have been playing with them a little. I feel a few sharp bumps at lower speeds, but it is nice on faster curves. Do any of you stagger the settings? 5 front/4 back? Anything like that?

    Eight settings are for weaklings. My HAs had sixteen settings. :P

    I think POS and I are thinking a little too much alike

    In a note I received today ...

    Hal,
    It will not hurt the valve to adjust left or right.
