How do you adjust the rear shocks on 2004 Honda Shadow 750?

Answer 1

There are 4 different shock positions on the rear shocks of this bike. The load on the spring is adjusted by the pressure put on it. The lowest position of the adjustable turning ring will provide the softest driving and the highest position will provide maximal firmness of the shocks. Grap the metal piece at the bottom of the shock's spring, then pull this up and twist at the same time, selecting the notch you want for the shock position. Make sure both shocks are adjusted similarly. There is a special tool that comes with the bike for the purpose of easily adjusting the rear shocks. You can also use large channel lock pliers with Duct Tape inside the jaws, the tape will prevent you from scratching the chrome.
