The Motostik has a built in spring tension
adjustment knob so you can quickly and easily
customize the feel of your bounce. It’s
important to find the tension setting that is
perfect for your weight and jumping style.
The easiest way to find the tension that
works best for you is to loosen the spring
tension all the way by turning the adjustment
knob on the top of your Motostik
counter-clockwise as far as it will go. Jump on
your Motostik a few times at the loosest tension
setting. If the bounce feels too soft and you’re
not getting as much height as you would like
turn the knob clockwise a few times and try it
again. Repeat until you’ve found the perfect
setting for you. As a general rule the tighter
the spring the more height you will get. However
if there is too much tension lighter jumpers
won’t be able to fully compress the spring and
will actually get less height than on a looser
setting.
Inside of the stick the tension knob is
attached to the internal adjustment mechanism.
When you turn the knob is causes a cylinder
extend compressing adding tension to the spring.
The threads on the internal cylindar are very
small to it takes several turns of the knob for
you to notice much difference. The small threads
enable to jumpers fine tune their jumping
expirence. The small tight threads also help
keep the adjustment mechism from losing tension
while jumping so you keep bouncing at your
prefered setting with minimum matainance. |
