been test driving the new green canam 200km with no problems apart from the front being too low.
I have not been playing with the red and black knob on the shocks so far but the car felt a little soft.

thanks

Uwe, you may want to give a quick call to the Factory. I'm sure they can give you a base line for the new shocks and then you can adapt to your driving needs and road conditions.

Mine are set at 6 clicks for bump and 9 for rebound if you want to try that.

So in order to add to the confusion from where would you count the clicks? Zero left, zero right or from the middle?

These shocks are made by Protech in the UK , they are great quality and work very well , I have run them on the Noble for 4 years and they have been superb .

I normally advise fully soft to start with and adjust 2 clicks at a time doing a few miles between settings .
For best results corner weighting is very much recommended .
