  • If you've ever wondered how a shock works, different types of shocks, how to adjust shocks, adjustable vs non adjustable, pre-load settings, valving, gas vs air etc. this video will explain that. I visited Elka Suspension and spoke to the expert Marc Kingsley, co-owner of Elka, have a listen to what he said, he'll set you straight on shocks - shocks 101.

    Great info. It appears that both of you took your shirts right out of a box and put them on (I hate ironing too)!

    well, I learned that I want a set in the front and back for my atv. I ride in a lot of different conditions on the trail and the thought of them setting my suspension for me and my machine sounds great. I go riding 10 to 15 times a year and simply want a shock to work great from the factor that they adjust for me. don't have a lot of time to mess with adjustment. I am afraid to mess up a setting because I don't know what to feel for. a lot of people don't have a clue on anything when it comes to suspension. give me confidence that you are setting my shocks up for my weight-machine at the factor before you ship them to me. I probably won't be able to feel the difference if the setting is off a little because of the huge improvement of your quality suspension from stock shock. All I want is for you guys to set me up with great shocks that match my machine-weight and riding conditions that I can bolt on and go riding. Keep it as simple as possible.

    I have an outlander max. I ordered the elka stage 3 shocks for it. I noticed the machine sat about 1 inch lower with them. I cranked up the preload to match
    my stock shocks but now it is too stiff. Do elka shocks naturally sit lower? I wasn't planning on losing ride height. If anything I wanted more?

    @20:50 “as you go higher, air compresses”. It does not. In fact, it is the exact opposite. As you go higher, the air is thinner, meaning less of it, less to compress. More air lower, it is denser, more compression

    Elka makes a quality well built product. Unfortunately they don’t stand behind their product. If your lucky to get a set you like, you will be happy. If not, your stuck with an expensive paper weight. They should allocate more of their advertising budget to educating the employees and improving customer service.

    • @deltacx1059
      @deltacx1059 Před 6 lety

      Mike M older tech different implimentation methods different quality and nobody in their right mind buys new sleds too expensive

    • @mik_maccc
      @mik_maccc Před 5 lety

    • @deltacx1059
      @deltacx1059 Před 5 lety
