kimofj Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Guys for budget reasons I bought a OHLINS standard YA335 for my FJ09 along with a K-Tec forks cartridges. After gong through the PIA shock install I realized that the Compression Adjustment Screw is way up at the top of the shock and almost impossible to get to with my fingers let alone a 90° screwdriver. I have about 1/2 an inch clearance to get to the screw which pointing up toward the gas tank. I thought of turning the shock 180° to point the screw down but that doesn't seem any easier to get to with tubes and other crap in the way. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess I should have paid the $500 more for remote adjustment. Thoughts. Jim in Ojai CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screw head you're trying to reach is not for consumers, that's the nitrogen fill port. Don't mess with it. The YA535 has hose-mounted compression adjustment, rebound adj, and hydraulic preload. Keep Asheville weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
