Below is the Hagon rear shock setup instructions, these shocks fit any number of different bikes/manufacturers, and as I said mine was not set up even for just a rider, spring adjuster only just on threads, and I had to undo/screw in the damping adjuster screw just to find out what the initial setting was, so took time to setup as there are an infinite number of permutations.

Somethings can be more complicated than necessary.


Mono-Shock Absorber Spring Pre-load Adjustment

Spring adjustment for heavier riders, or for carrying passengers, (increasing the spring pre-load). This is best done with the shock absorber removed from the bike. Adjust the pre-load - with the castellated adjuster ring uppermost. Release the adjuster ring locking grub screw and then rotate the adjuster ring clockwise to increase the pre-load by one complete turn at a time.

Do not exceed six rotations from the point at which the shock absorber was supplied or the spring may become coil bound. Once you have completed the adjustment, tighten the locking grub screw in the adjuster ring, do not over tighten as the lock screw is plastic tipped.

When adjusting the damping to a softer seating, the unit must be worked, e.g. the bike should be ridden for a few miles, before the adjustment will take effect. Firm resistance will be felt at the extremes of the adjustment, just back off the screw one turn once this resistance is felt. Do not use force on this adjuster screw.
