Rear Shock Question

Hey guys I have a 01 F4i and looking for some rear shock info..

I have the chance to buy a Fox TC-R shock for my bike used. The owner had the shock serviced last year and from the pictures looks to be in good shape.

I have a few questions since I can't seem to find good info on the shock.

Is the shock ride height adjustable?

How many adjustments does it have?

Anyone know what weight the spring would be if it has "fox 600x750" labled on the the shock?

I can't think of the other questions I had right now so any other info on the shock would be great.

Here are a few pictures of the shock ...

Re: Rear Shock Question

Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

The twin rings holding the spring are your preload adjustment,
The knob on the external canister is your compression
The blue knurled knob on the bottom of the shock is the rebound

The two lock nuts on the bottom will lengthen your effective shock length, so that's your ride height adjustment.

CAnt' help you with the spring, but you might want to call one of the aftermarket suspension guys like Thermosman or Race tech to see if they have info for you, or a former Fox retailer..

I think RAH-VFR has that shock on his F4 race bike.. PM him
