KW V1 adjustment

rlee134 · 05-23-2014, 10:52 AM

Hi all - looking to raise the rears a tiny bit on my XI and i was wondering if this is a tough job or relatively easy. I have the tool and everything, the back just sits a little too low for my liking.

Thanks

The official instructions are that you have to take the rear suspension back apart to make adjustments because with the spring tension on them the body (threaded portion) tend to turn with the collar. I used a strap wrench to hold mine and didn't take the suspension apart. Others have used channel locks etc so it can definitely be done.
