How do you adjust a Raidon fork on a suntour?
Turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise (less damping) to increase the compression speed of your fork. Turn it clockwise (more damping) to reduce the compression speed. rebound damping allows you to adjust the speed with which the fork rebounds after it was compressed.
What is remote speed lockout?
A remote lockout system is a lockout fork which can be controlled by a dial placed upon the handlebar of the mountain bike. The advantage of a remote lockout system is that it isn’t necessary to get off of the bike to engage the lock. On a variety trail, with lots of ups and downs, this can be really helpful.

How does preload affect handling?
Preloading is not the same as using a stiffer (higher spring rate) spring. Preloading does not change spring rate but preload does change the force to start moving the shock and high preload dramatically reduces shock performance over smaller bumps and makes for a more harsh ride and worse traction.
