Default kwv3 rebound adjustment

just curious on how kwv3 suspension owners get around to adjusting the rebound on the drivers rear, right by the gas tank. i used to have buddyclub n+ and that actually had a small knob so it wasn't too bad. do you just use the allen knob provided, or an allen wrench?

Allen wrench. Wrap your wrist around the front side of the fuel lines.

I bought 3 more knobs from KW and used a dab of loctite on each knob and have them permanently attached to each rebound adjuster. It has worked very well for me and they have never fallen out.

I used to leave the KW knob on the driver rear permanently and use a hex key to adjust the rest of them

Just buy a Allen key from a 99 cents store. Cut down to size and leave it there. I find not turning a knob and just turning the wrench much easier

I think it's about 3/4x3/4 after I cut it down

with this method, are you able to adjust the rebound from the front, top, or rear of the fuel line? do you have any photos of how it would look like? i would imagine it being a equal length sided 90 degree allen

I adjust it from under the fuel line. I just reach in with a finger from both hands and turn it. I usually only turn 3 clicks max
