Dirtysanchez 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Specifically the damping! Does anyone know how to do this? I've looked for a manual but it's all in German, so I've got no clue what it says.Ideally, I want to try and stiffen the ride up a little. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Should be a nob that attaches to the top. Then you turn one way for firmer and other for softer Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Does that say knob? lol all the 4 letter words I can't think of that should be blocked out don't make any sense! Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtysanchez 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Swear filter is working overtime lol.Thanks Craggsy, I'll have a go at this tomorrow. I've heard tale that if it's not done that way, you have to remove the coilover, remove the spring, compress the shock and adjust it.In which case, it'll be getting left alone until I literally have NOTHING better to do lol.

craggsy 91 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 koni coilovers are top adjustable. I still have them on my VR right now Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 So if they arent top adjustable they arent konis basicaly Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 yo ucan use some pliers to twist the knobs on the top of them. liek Craggsy says if you aint got them there then they are either not Koni's or not damper adjustable. it is very obvious to see how they adjust so maybe yours arent?

Dirtysanchez 0 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Cheers Craggsy I've checked the part number on the Koni website and it says "Front and rear dampers are externally adjustable". This ( http://finder.koni.com/pdf/1150-5002-1-manual.pdf ) is the manual for my coilies, as you can see from the pics there are no knobs on the top of them, so I'm thinking that maybe the damping isn't adjustable and the way they've worded it on the website has confused me lol.
