Ok..I put on a set of rears koni's today..left the Stock TC fronts alone.
I know how these adjust...pressing down while turning counterclockwise to engage the mechanism at the bottom. I did that, but really never felt the slot engage. I did come to a STOP though, which I assumed was the full *SOFT* position. OK, I then rotated clockwise (to set firmer) while still applying full pressure to keep it in. About 1/8 of a turn out or so, I felt a tiny *hump* and then continued to make one full turn. Thought that was odd and did it again..same thing...a little hump felt right after turning clockwise from the full stop (soft). This happened with BOTH shocks. Anyone know what these little *humps* were?
Someone else here had the same thing happen to them..just can't recall where I read it.
I know I did everything right....but my experience setting these had a different *feel*.
I put em on and all is well.
If anyone here has had the same experience or can explain this, I would really appreciate it.

 

Not sure what hump you're referring to. You can feel the difference between the foot being engaged, and not. Just let it up a fraction of an inch, and you'll find it turning without any resistance. When I adjust the rears, or even the fronts, I always go to a reference of full soft, and dial it up from there.

For the rears, I just push it down on a wooden block, and turn them.

 

I follow exactly the same procedures.

I know what you're saying...and yes, the mechanism was engaged because I got a FULL STOP on the soft setting (all the way counterclockwise). However, after initiating the clockwise turn FULLY DEPRESSED and engaged, I run into a slight *hump* at around 20 degrees into the turn. It then continues smoothly after. I got this on BOTH shocks. This could be a *dead zone* area before the mechanism starts to *work* so to speak. I have read that your're not supposed to leave the setting at the stop, but 1/4 turn away from it. Maybe this is what they're talking about?
Anyway, I will post another thread on my feedback. I changed the setting today...much better.

 

You can run them at full soft/hard. The myth on not leaving them full soft/hard is due to some translation problems with the instructions. Koni NA has tried to correct this belief, but I guess it still lingers.

 

Maybe...so the *mysterious hump* remains so. If you can find out what it is, let us know.
