Posted July 24, 200817 yr Can anyone give me some info on the possible consequences of over tightening the rear shock pre load adjuster on a Dragatar 650? I think I've managed to go 'one click too far' (!) when adjusting on the firmer end, and now the adjuster won't turn back the other way (bugger!). At the very least, is it safe in this condition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! i assume its on a screw adjustment which means its alloy and you have gone past the threads there for cross threading when you screwed it back! if it uses a stepped system, just keep turning the same way and it will go back to slack. i don't know the dragstar but most systems are the same
