Koni rear +2 adjustment setting
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2019 9:56 am
Hi
I've just come into a set of rear Koni adjustable shock absorbers and I'm seeking advice on what the correct setting is. The problem is, they cannot be adjusted once fitted so I have to get them right first time.

I've had a look and several people are saying they should be one half turn back from "full hardness". Can anyone verify this (or otherwise), please?
Secondly, these Konis don't have split pin holes, is that normal? If so, how do I stop the castellated top nuts from coming loose in operation?
Also, these Konis have oil in them, which I can hear sloshing around. Are they supposed to be full with no air gap?
Thanks
