Best Answer

Use the largest Phillips screwdriver that will fit in the adjustment hole( there is more than one adjustment hole for turning the shock - counter clockwise is to decrease weight= a softer ride ---- clockwise is to increase rider weight

capacity.

clockwise depending on your weight. #1 softest = #5 Strongest.

a 150lb. rider is #2 for an example. MUST ADJUST BOTH SHOCKS EQUALLY because of handling and tire wear. ( simply press screwdriver left or right -- your not turning the screwdriver -- your turning the complete shock!

How do you adjust rear shocks on 2001 kawasaki vulcan 500 en-500c 500 ltd?

On the shocks themselves you will notice a hole for one of your tools in your tool kit. If you don't have the tool kit, just look at the shock and you will see, towards the bottom of the shock, just beneath the spring, a hole. This "Hole" also fits into one of a number of grooves on the shock itself, 1-5. By changing what groove that "hole" is in, you can make the shocks harder or softer. 5 is hardest, 1 is softest. If they aren't numbered, the groove that lets that "hole" get closest to the spring is 1, and the one that keeps it the furthest away is 5.

You can try to reinstall the cover, but will probably have to send it to an upholstery shop to get it recovered. There are some other things you can do like adjust the rear shocks to the lowest setting, mabey get some shorter shocks, depending on fender to wheel clearence.
