[#1181635]

ive just got my 2nd hand dhx 5 coil and am having a read through the manual.

it says to adjust the bottom out you wind the blue dial in or out.

how hard should it be to turn this blue dial as i cant seem to get it to move more than a few mm ??

cheers

steve

It's almost impossible to do by hand; the dial has holes around its circumference that you can insert an allen key into. I can’t remember what size, something around 4mm. You can then get enough leverage to rotate the dial.

It's pretty stiff(!) - the holes in it are designed to allow an allen key to be used to lever it. It gets noticeable harder to turn as you put more pressure into the boost valve.

Get it sent to TF Tuned to be 'Pushed' it will then work like it's supposed to 😉

it can be improved a lot actually.

I got a 2nd hand one too, on which the blue dial was very stiff. inside 1 or 2 of the holes in the side of the ring are little grub screws. you can undo these and take off the blue alloy ring. you'll find that there's all manner of dirt under there. clean that up and it will move slowly but smoothly by hand.
