Well I think you press them down and twist clockwise..not sure..
I did that but I think I might have turned one of the shocks more then the other one...actaully I am sure I did....how can I start over and make sure they are even???Please help..would hate to have a lopsided rear...
Not too famialr with koni's..am used to Billsteins...

Turn them all the way to the end of their adjustment, and then count backwards to whatever setting you want. Do that for both and they'll be set evenly.

I pull the foam plugs, then crank them all the way to the right and mark them then, back off an equal distance on both shocks.

Yes they have to come out and you have to completely compress them and then turn.

Darius, have you removed the foam and compressed enough to engage? 11 turns seems wrong.

Ummm...Sierra Nevada, Blue Heron, Big Bold Blonde (Elk Grove Brewing), Newcastle...living 2 years in Germany weaned me off generic American beers a long, long time ago. I'd just as soon run bamboo shoots under my nails than drink a Coors.

2tight sounds like you need some hogarden(I spelt it like it is pronounced)
Wheat beer actually has a sweet after taste ...very interesting and very good. Although its hard to get and is a little pricy just like all german beers. Shiner is nice as well.
