Default koni,s on escos.

Can someone tell me how to adjust the rear shocks please. I know the rear shocks have to be dropped but which way do i turn the shock when they are out. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Same as the front!!!!!! clockwise to stiffen.
Remove bottom fixing and turn damper clockwise.
KONI RECOMMEND THEY
SHOULD BE SET AT SOFT INITIALY THEN STIFFEN AS DAMPERS GET WORN.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
The adjustment is made with the shock fully extended.
1 Remove the plastic dust cover to expose the adjusting button
(Figure 2).
2 Hold the damper body by hand where the piston rod emerges
from the cylinder. Push the button carefully, by hand, and hold
it in that position (Figure 1 & 2). (Do not use any device, other
than by hand, to depress button).
3 The adjusting device has been provided with a number of
clearly distinguishable stops (clicks), each of which marks an
adjustment position (zero + 3 clicks = 4 positions) (Figure 4).
4 The damper may have already been adjusted earlier.
Therefore, check whether the shock absorber is in the zero
position by turning the piston rod to the left (counterclockwise)
with the other hand until the zero-stop is felt - DO NOT USE
FORCE!
5 To increase rebound, turn the piston rod one or more clicks to
the right (clockwise), and release the adjusting button.
6 Be sure that the adjusting button fully springs back into
position. As long as the button is depressed, do not turn the
piston rod further; otherwise correct adjustment will be
disturbed. As soon as the button has made its complete
return, the piston rod may be turned freely. The damper can
now be refitted.
