ZX10R shock adjustment (stupid question)

Hi sorry for this (stupid) question just got a zx10r shock through post but was wondering if some one could tell me which bit adjust the preload damping etc, Thanks Aaron

top adjuster marked 'comp' is compression damping. This adjusts the amount of damping on the unit while being compressed.
bottom adjuster marked 'ten' is rebound damping. This adjusts the amount of damping on the unit while extending (normally rebounding after a bump) .
The two stepped collars are used to adjust the spring pre-load. These are used to put a static load on the spring to set the amount of load it takes to start the spring compressing. Use this to set the sag at the rear.


That shock looks brand new! - congrats on your purchase.

thanks!

Did you get that from ebay? Just got a zx6 shock from eBay and came in exactly the same packaging. Just curous

LP what did you do with the adjusters? Kwak stock or the middle of range or what?

Set to kwack stock, pre-load adjusted to give 35mm of rider sag. Was so much better that standard setup that I was well happy with that. The compression damping is what was noticed the most.

Never did enough miles with it fitted to get the feel for what twiddling the adjusters might do. Was just getting to the stage where I was thinking maybe a bit more rebound damping might help??? Whatever, with the zx10 shock and recetech fork springs / emulators the bike was better than I am so was very happy.
