Suspension Sources & Disclaimer
TrackChief's suspension cards summarize adjuster locations, click counts and base settings from manufacturers' published owner's manuals, written in our own words. Damping suggestions are TrackChief's interpretation of manufacturer guidance, checked against the manuals and tuning guides listed below. Your product's own manual, or a qualified suspension tuner, always comes first.
