Adjusting the Spring Tension
By adjusting the spring tension of the shocks, you can increase steering sensitivity and increase the ride-height of the truck. How you
drive your truck will dictate what settings you should be using. As an example, if you're using your truck off-road and going over lots
of jumps, you may want to increase the spring tension of the front shocks to help prevent the front of the truck from bottoming out.
●
Increase the spring tension by loosening the clamp-screw on the tensioner (at the top
of each shock), pushing the tensioner down, then tightening the clamp-screw.
Recommended Initial Settings:
Adjust the spring tensioners so that they are at the uppermost portion of the shock.
☞
When adjusting the spring tension, make sure to adjust the right and left sides equally.
☞
For precision shock adjustments, use the Trinity Off-Road Shock Dyno (P/N 840021).
Adjusting the Slipper Clutch
The slipper clutch is a traction control device that uses two metal plates and a series of fiber pads to control how much power is
transmitted from the motor to the gear box and drive-train.
Adjustments to the slipper clutch can be made by first removing the three screws that hold the plastic drive cover in place, then by
removing the drive cover to expose the slipper clutch assembly.
To adjust the slipper clutch you simply turn the hex nut either in to tighten the clutch (less slip) or out to loosen the clutch (more slip).
After making each adjustment, accelerate the truck for a short distance while carefully watching the slipper clutch. Ideally the clutch
should slip for about the first foot after acceleration.
Changing the Shock Oil
Changing the shock oil (the oil inside the shocks) will change the dampening characteristics of the shocks. Generally, if you are
running on smooth surfaces, use a heavier weight oil. If you are running on rough surfaces, use a lighter weight oil.
☞
We recommend using only 100% Silicon Shock Oil. Do not use motor oil. The shock oil in the Baja Bullet's shocks is good for
most off-road applications.
Recommended Initial Settings:
The slipper clutch comes factory set for most driving conditions.
More Slip Results In:
More traction and longer lasting gears.
Less Slip Results In:
Less traction and more acceleration.
IMPORTANT
Running the slipper clutch too loose can cause the fiber pads to wear out very quickly and replacement under this circumstance will not
be covered under warranty.
