--- Quote from: KXDINO on May 16, 2009, 01:23:30 PM ---It's not a matter of kips working smoothly, the actuating arm position has affect on the range of power . the position affect where power is produced. when you loosen the nut the shaft can be rotated to different preloads. if you don't have any preload on the shaft the kips won't fully open so you won't have any top end power . every time you take the cylinder off you must re set the preload on actuating arm.

How much preload?
KXDINO:
it all about trial and error
you just have to experiment at the track , it's easy to do , i have mine set so i can just feel the tension, then tighten the nut up .
the hole in the shaft is parallel to the ground, and the bike is vertical, it just a case of playing with the adjustment to suit your needs . it's a 2 min job
