[hawaiirider]

just fabbed new mounts and installed a 83 r shock on my 200x, it has a knob on the resivior that was not on my x? what does this do? the shock is stiff and rebounds very slow so id like to set it up correctly
thanks for your time!!!!!!

Your X had the knob but it was located at the bottom of the shock . Just turn the knob till you like the rebound , not sure how it will work on your X because the R shock was designed for a prolink set up .

this ones got one on the top on the resivior says S - H and it has one on the bottom like the x did, it seems good just stiff for me im 170, my friend whos 300 said it rode good for him

Theres two knobs on the 250r shock. the reservoir knob is compression damping ( it says COMP on it) and the knob on the shock clevis is the rebound.

Just takes a few mods to make it work. Custom dogbone is probably the best way. No ride report on mine yet.
