Default adjusting koni yellows..

i know how you adjust them ( i did a search for that info) but i couldn't find anything that said how you would know how firm or soft you are with them.. tokicos have clicks, kybs have numbers.. how do you tell koni's?? (front and rear)

well there aren't any clicks or nething, but u gotta kinda guess? u can use one of the letters on the knob as a reference point or something and do the same for all the shocks, like what i do is turn them all the way one way til it stops, then keep turning til like one of the letters is a certain position? does that make sense? anyway thats what i do, but i usually leave it on all the way soft, and in the front u can turn the knob 360 degrees, one full rotation, and in the back only 180, so u can use that as reference too, hope that helps, late

For my Konis with custom Ground Controls I use 1 turn front and full stiff rear.

No shock is going to be perfect even with the Tokicos. Just because one click is on one shock doesn't mean it's exactly the same adjustment on the other 3. It might be 1.25 or 0.9.
