Never moved 'em. Whatever the factor is...that's it.

yeah, just gotta pop off the tire, but I don't have the tool to do it, someone said use a big pipe wrench or something and that shouldwork..
at the bottom of the shock is like a metal/chrome/steel ring, u gotta jack up the quad to take pressure off the springs and then u can tighten them up....i've just never done it.

pipe wrench..... don't like that idea. Can you say.... "stripped". Might be worth buying the wrench... or tool.

You jack it up to take some of the pressure of the spring, remove the tire for better access, get a large (14")pair of Channellocks or a pipe wrench, get the wrench good and tight and turn accordingly. I've done it to several quads and have never mucked anything up. Some quads don't even need the the tire and wheel removed.
You can buy the spanner for probably fifteen bucks, but that's beer money to me.

Now that "WAS" funny....Or you can buy a Rincon that is so perfectly set at the factory, that you never need to adjust them.

Dont use a pipe wrench on the adjusters if you dont have to buy the spanner wrench . I tried with a pipe wrench and guess what my luck cracked one. http://www.bigbuckatvproducts.com/polar ... _tools.htm
