Rear shock adjustment Brozz

Bill Hilly · 05-19-2021, 06:30 PM

I decided to remove my rear shock of my Brozz 250 ,and tighten the adjustment ring almost as far as it would go. I know its stiffer ,but I figured with my weight it would ride level, but it now feels like the rear is high,or the front low. I rode it, and it goes down the road well ,but I don't want to put unnecessary strain on the front end .Does tightening the rear shock put more weight on the front end ,or am I good with it adjusted the way it is. Thanks

So, you raised the preload. You didn't raise the rear end. You reduced the sag you'd normally get. This does cause the front end to work a little harder, as the rear isn't doing at much work. Take a click or two out, and see how it feels. Also, you don't really need to remove the shock to adjust the preload. If your bike didn't come with a shock tool, I can give you a link to some.
