I'll bet you turned it from 5 to 1. For some reason Suzuki made the settings go 1-2-3-4-5-1. I went "over the deep side" as well. Actually I'm real happy with the setting, so that's good.

I thought the same thing Roll Eyes

but I didn't want to mention that it will be a pill to get it back to say position 4 if you wanted that since there is only one hole....but you could always remove the lower shock bolt and turn the bottom of the shock.

Reply #62 - 08/30/04 at 14:34:05 That project will wait until I have some other need to remove them. I tried other settings and would be riding on 1 anyway. The idea of turning it around is a keen-o idea! I was thinking it would take a lot of pulling to force it back...

If you get a buddy to lean the bike over and pull up, the other shock spring will push the swingarm far enough to allow you to get the shock back on. I did this to another Savage last week (for a different reason).
