the straight slot screw is what you adjust. all you need is a flat screw driver.

this adjustment procedure is straight from the owner's manual.

The Top Shock adjustment is Compression Damping.
To adjust to the standard position:

1.turn the damping adjuster clockwise until it will no longer turn (LIGHTLY SEATS). this is full hard setting.

2.turn the adjuster counterclockwise approximately 2 turns so that the punch mark on the adjuster aligns with the reference punch mark. this is the standard position.

The Bottom Shock adjustment is Rebound Damping
To adjust to the standard position:

1. turn the damping adjuster clockwise until it will no longer turn (LIGHTLY SEATS). this is the full hard setting.

2.turn the adjuster counterclockwise approximately 1.5 turns so that the punch mark on the adjuster aligns with the reference punch mark. this is the standard position.
