Flaming River Dual Adjustable Shocks - Manual (Page 14)

TUNING AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Your Flaming River shocks have a total of 18 clicks plus a zero position of adjustment per knob, for a total of
361 different valving combinations. Compression and rebound are independently controlled on the Flaming River
shocks. The “C” knob adjusts compression, while the “R” knob adjusts rebound. Every Flaming River shock is
tested on a dynamometer prior to shipment to ensure that it is functioning properly. Manually moving a shock is
not an accurate testing method for ensuring that shocks are functioning properly.
Position zero is the softest setting and is found by turning the knob counterclockwise until the positive stop is
located. Position 18 is the stiffest setting. Only very light force is needed to adjust the knobs; do not ever force
the knob past its intended stop as doing so will damage the shock.
Recommended baseline points for adjusting your Flaming River shocks are as follows:
Drag Racing: Front: 12 - 18 compression; 0 - 4 rebound
Rear: 0 - 4 compression; 12 - 18 rebound
Handling: 7 - 12 compression; 7 - 12 rebound; 13+ for aggressive handling
Ride Quality:
2 - 6 compression; 2 - 6 rebound
