I changed the rear spring of my shock. I checked the shock bearings while I had it out of the bike. They seamed nice and tight with no play. After I put it back. I noticed if I try to move the shock it moves side ways. But I don't get any up and down movement. Is the side movement normal? Thanks Ben

u'll get a little radial play if u try to twist the spring...:thumbsup:

...make sure to get the preload/sag set correctly and back off the compression about 2-4 clicks from the stock setting...these have shocks have crazy rebound control and i'm only 1-2 clicks off of full soft for riding in the dirt.

kenzo. I have the bike sag set up correctly. As for the rebound and compression. I have them set at the standard settings. I have not been able to take the bike out yet to test that out. I am still waiting for a break line and pads to come in. Ben
