Super. Perfekt! Danke!

Welcome.👍

No need for any impact drivers, just put the shockabsorber under pressure by putting weight on it, and use a 13mm socket to undo the nut.

[@scooterstreetau]

Good tip✌️

[@scooty8877]

Thanks .... I'll try this as I don't have an impact driver

[@scooty8877]

Good video thanks. Only thing is I don't have an impact driver. Is there another option to remove the top nut.

[@scooterstreetau]

Use a long lever on the wrench. Best idea is to use the a correct tool. If you buy a tool you will use it in the future so it is a good investment.

[@tomboysupremacy8839]

would you know if there would be any issues if i want to install a 365mm shock absorber if the factory shoock absorber is 400mm?

[@scooterstreetau]

The ride will become weighty at the front end and check for body clearance with full downward pressure at the rear end, make sure nothing bottoms out.

@@scooterstreetau thank you so much

[@matthewkeith3712]

Hi guys how do adjust the stiffness adjuster? just fitted my shock

[@scooterstreetau]

see at the 3:00 mark, the base sleeve rotates at the bottom of the spring, there are notches which set the tension and effectivley load or unload the spring.

hallo vor TGB ......and if I put a longer belt on now it is 760mm.have found 1 of 764mm of polini.i really don't understand why I only go 60km with 70cc and unbounded exhaust

[@scooterstreetau]

You asked the speed question on another video, already answered!

[@anonymouswellens8100]

@@scooterstreetau yes nothing of tips.i don't know anything more

[@ChrizzOG]

How long is the rear shock? Is it 340mm or What is it?

[@scooterstreetau]

285 or 300mm

[@ChrizzOG]

@@scooterstreetau does 300mm fit a piaggio zip 2t 2013? And How would the 285 compare to the 300? Is the difference big when riding?

[@scooterstreetau]

@@ChrizzOG Yes, when fitting a longer shock it lifts the rear and has a direct effect on the steering and handling, more sensitive.
