I adjusted the front suspension on my XB9R and now I notice I have a slight vibration in the front end. I know I have read it somewhere but I can seem to find it now. Is there a way to either tighten or loosen the suspension all the way so I can count turns on each side? I want to make sure they are even and I dont think they are at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

yes just turn the valve all the way in but don't crank it when you feel resitance stop and count turns out.

Perfect I did not want to tighten them all the way up or down and screw anything up. Thanks for the help.

Remember that you have 3 adjustments on the front end on each side. Compression and rebound damping and spring preload. Look in your manual and it will tell you how to set front and rear for your weight and also make sure your tire pressure is correct.

I have the bottom of each side adjusted for my weight which was pretty easy, I just want to redo the tops. I was just nervous to tighten or loosen them all the way up without asking first.

I'm 99% sure factory setting is all the way in then 4 full turns out.
