Title: 800 Drifter air shock setting?
Post by: YorZephyr on August 29, 2009, 19:56:50 PM
I've seen that there are suggestions for adjusting the air shocks for the 1500 Drifter and I was wondering if it is the same for the 800 ???.  I have a 2005 800 Drifter and I need to learn to set it up for a 250 lb rider and would like to know what's best to setup for riding two up as well.  If I use the 1500 settings I put in about 20 to 22 psi for a 250 lb rider - is that correct?
Thanks in advance to all that reply!! ;D

It's not an air shock is it?

You can also add a pre-load kit if you can't get enough adjustment on the shock.

Here's a breif description of the product:

Hello,
here sometimes 2 products they are better than the orginal dampers.
These are hydraulically adjustable dampers and at the moment the best one what at the market is. Not cheap, however, very well.

Thanks for the links!  I heard some ones manual actually had them remove the rear tire to adjust the shock.  Just removing the side panel is so much easier.  Thanks!
