Default anyone here use koni yellow adjustable that can explain how to adjust the damper for the rear.

i've removed the white spacer and the black rubber bushing per the instruction that i got from the kit, i've tried to turn this sucka until it was tight but it seems like i can just turn the valve forever. i'm turning right (clockwise) which it should firm up right? am i doing this wrong?

Default If it keeps spinning, you could have a defective shock.

I have Koni yellows, and I had that problem. The upper part would spin and spin, but it never would 'catch' and firm up. Koni took good care of me and sent me a replacement out almost immediately. Now if both of your rears are doing that, you're probably doing something wrong.
