KYB AGX adjustment

I bought my KYB AGX shock from my friend who couln't use them...well the instructions are missing and I don't know how to adjust the reare suspension--that is I don't know what setting the indicator is on ...there are no marking as to what setting the shocks are on...if someone has a set of instructions they can scan that would help the greatest!

hey the rear AGX's have ***** on the side that you just turn. They go from 1-8
8 is the stiffest, 1 is the least stiff. on the back onesturn it until you hear a click
the click means it's move one setting, when you are adjusting, don't turn them fast. Just 1 clikc at at time. Like clickpause, click, pause. etc. The front, get a small flat tip screwdriver and PUSH DOWn the little adjustment **** in the center with a screwdriver, turn it to where you want it. Fronts adjust from 1-4. The Rear Shocks, have adjustment *****, and the front havean adjustment screw sort of thing in the top of the strut.

I don't know if this is what you are asking but on the back, there should be a small arrow decal above the **** that points straight down at the **** to indicate that is the position that the shock is adjusted to. In other words, the number that is at the top of the **** at the time is the position that it is on.

On the front struts, there should be a small white dot on the screw that you turn to adjust to indicate what position that they are in. On mine, the dots have become dirty, but you can see the round indentation where they are supposed to be.

Again, don't know if this is what you were asking, but maybe it helps.

You got yourself some great suspension parts. I would normally ride on 2 and 4 settings. 1 setting on the front is REALLY scary. You have no control at all. 4 is super tight.
