Rally Rear Spring Adjustment

[KC61]

So I understand how to adjust the rings. But WTF is the distance they are referring to? Where do you measure from and to? Also what is that snap ring looking thing around the threads. I swear this manual is worthless.

The snap ring represents the stop for the adjustment (keeping the toothed ring from coming off the threads). Measurement is from the toothed ring to the snap ring. I found the measurement on mine to be 3/8 inch rather than the 1/4 inch specified in the owners manual. I weigh 155 lbs and found that adjusting to 1/4 inch gave me a better ride.

So there are 2 toothed rings. Do you measure from the snap ring to the first toothed ring? I'm assuming the toothed ring closest to the snap ring is just a jam ring for the one against the spring? Correct?

 

[Tslepebull]

Yes, you measure from the snap ring to the toothed ring closest to it.

Thanks a bunch

Great post... first time I got any clear info on the Rally rear shock adjustment. The manual shows one that does not look at all like mine...
Youtube hasn't caught up yet, so how did you get this info? Here's a pic of my rear shock...
