How to Adjust Rear Motorcycle Shocks: Honda CB350, CB360, CB450, CB550

[@Tony-bv7gz]

More videos please. I chose to restore a CB450 SPECIFICALLY because of these informative videos and the products you carry!

[@dannymotovlogs4254]

Me too on a Honda cb360t

[@trp051]

This is the first simple explanation that I found on youtube. Thanks!

[@Common-motor]

thank you!

[@0shlem0]

Thank you for this video. Very clear explanation and the first one I have seen that really goes over what is actually happening.

[@richardthorpe3059]

Hi I've been riding for years and never adjusted suspension in case I got it wrong but your explanation was so clear that I will be sorting my preload before I ride again. Thank you.

@Clayton Remy I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@rudyabdiel240]

@Clayton Remy It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@claytonremy7532]

@Rudy Abdiel Glad I could help =)

[@alexpoovey9852]

Amazing explanation and demo. Headed to the garage to adjust mine now! thanks!

[@George-ie1si]

Thanks Brenden good explanation.

[@cristapherandrade9757]

Very educational and straight to the point! 💯

[@themassofmen]

Very simply explained. Thanks. However, there isn't much travel left after you adjusted it to your weight.

[@jackthomson1649]

Great in-depth vid, thank you

[@RGrazina]

Thanks for the video. It was a very clear and concise explanation, though I do have a question. Shouldn't the SAG be checked with your feet on the foot pegs instead of being on the ground? Thank you so much, safe rides ✌

[@farooqkhan3729]

Thank you - great video, informative, and helped me understand the theory and practice pieces.

[@DLoneRanger]

Hi, good video….May i ask……. I have Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. Fitted new Hagons rear shocks with recommended factory settings. after a ride I’m finding my bump stop rubbers have fully slid to the top. Ride is very nice but I’m concerned if they should bottom out at all? I do not feel the bottoming out at all? Thanks.

[@massoudzadeh3394]

Thanks so much, I was always wondering what that tool was for!!!

[@daviddraper6240]

Great video…Clean 360…

[@JT-bl2so]

excellent straight forward video...well done.

[@sugarskulllyfe5890]

great video

[@bldeagle10]

May be a dumb question, but could we get a video of the center stand set up? Currently restoring a 1973 CB350F and i cant find much info on how the spring attaches, feel like im missing parts..

[@mibandit]

Excellent explanation, thanks

[@Ayaz_Qais]

My very first bike. 👍

[@jackyyeung7903]

Great information, thank you.

[@vincycle6208]

Great job on another great video

[@DirectorDavoPaul]

THANK U!!!!!!

[@tjmars37]

Great trick! Thanks

[@richardhull5935]

Great video. Thanks much.

[@enjoy-the-road]

Thanks for the videos! These apply to front shock absorbers ( with air pressure ) . HONDA CM400c 1981 has never been renovated. No leakage. Is it needed to replace the oil? Drain from the bottom and fill from the top?

[@Common-motor]

Most rear shocks are not rebuildable, however front forks are. Oil change is standard maintenance.

[@enjoy-the-road]

I apologize, for noting the word front. I ask about the front shock absorbers. Thanks, and again sorry ...

[@chrisjones5033]

@@Common-motor If I get a shock that’s 13.38 inch’s Will it fit a 12.75 factory fit ?

[@gotahgemini6415]

great video. Just subscribed!

[@Needcoffeeee]

si i will also need to lower the front right?

[@supersportimpalass]

A better explanation would be the shock can top out when rebounding after a bump and make the ride harsh. Having preload/sag gives the shock additional room so the suspension doesn’t top out and feel like your spine is being crushed.

[@mohammedhegdah]

Am having a harsh ride in bumps, will adjusting the preload decrease my ground clearance, cause i don't want to reduce my ground clearance

[@RAVICHANDRAN-kj8lh]

To soften the suspension = decrease the height of the suspension Am I correct?

[@leoszilard3998]

Shocks should be mounted with the cylinder on top facing down so water and dirt does not go into the piston cylinder and effect the rubber seals.Water has many impurities and minerals that can break down (Dry out) rubber and decrease the life of the piston seat o-ring.I like to spray into the shock piston a bio based lubricant like Ultra lube to extend the life of the first set of rubber seals that seal the piston chamber.

[@5disguised]

Is there a way to lengthen is longer than those notches? Mine bottoms out with my new seat :(

[@Common-motor]

Hey Frost, not sure exactly what you mean. Email our support with some photos of what's going on and maybe we'll have a solution.

[@mrodriguezangel1]

Me thinking my z8 electric bike is one of these 😂

[@vincentyap3188]

the shorter the spring the more stiff the spring will

[@ThunderLord-p1z]

terrible video , how do you lower a motorcycle

[@Bstman-k1x]

terrible video
