I have a set of front adjustable Koni(not coilovers). Is it clock wise to harden and anti clockwise to soften the rebound?

ANTI-clockwise = firm
Clockwise = soft

The fronts, you turn the knob thing on the top of the leg under the plastic cover under bonnet, u can just about get to it.

The rears, you have to unbolt the shock one end and phyically turn the whole shock. 2/3 turn max to min i think.

I set mine to hard at the rear and middle on the front i think :confused:. Dunno?? Can't remember what i did last week to be fair! Not touched them since, can't be arsed!

Clockwise is firmer on the majority of fast road dampers :)

i think raj is right, im not 100% sure unless i look at the adjuster knob & its the same as the one in the pic. Turn it one way & you will soon find out, fully soft pushes down easily.

Thanks chaps, i have them fully clockwise and still notice a difference. Has anyone got a pic of the adjuster minus the knob?? I havent got a knob with mine so need to know how it actually adjusts?

I've bought a pair of rear yello Konis yesterday.
How can I adjust them?
I have tried to turn clockwise and anticlockwise but I can as much as I want.
Or it can be only adjusted when it is totally pushed?

Pull down on the dust cover to expose the piston and bump stop, there will be a zinc coloured cap on the top of the shock body, this lifts off and reveals a plastic spacer, lift the spacer out of the way and there will be a little button, push to adjust rebound. You should feel some distinct clicks when you do this. :)

Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
