Well I got the Moto shocks on my quad. And I got the SSD conversion on them but my quad sits up as high as a utility quad... and it bounces very badly. It is one of the causes of why I wrecked. I need to know what can be done to fix my suspension..because it sits up way too high and bounces like a pogo stick.
Heres a small pic of me goin around a turn and you can see how bad the front end sits up.
Remember how way back I told you the collars were wrong?Did you ever adjust those?I believe the nuts on them were way apart holding springs up or something like that.I saw that on your Rider of month pic.
Jeff said he ordered different springs for me and everything.. was supposed to be valved for 120 or 125 lbs. I have messed with the two adjustment knobs and really havent got that great of results. But maybe Im not doing something right? I know NOTHING about suspension
Same thing w/compression. I had problems w/mine similar to yours so I just adjusted the rebound and compression. They felt a lot better but I also adjusted the preload, but I didn't have SSD's either.
Good point Jacob on Ohlins Rebound affects compression greatly.You want to find the middle and not go to many clicks either way.For MX you want rebound fast enough that when you push down on front then lift it as fast as you can the wheels should not leave the ground.Kara take some pics and turn adjusters all the way in counting how many clicks your at.
Not slamming anyone's work, but the ssd conversion is poo! Every quad I have been one with the fronts converted bounce and don't ride well at all. If you have the money you should just send them to Propilot racing. They are an Ohlins certified shop and I have seen and had the chance to ride shocks converted by them. Man they work like butter! One thing I have found out is that you should at least have your fluids changed once a season if you are racing. Twice if you got the dough.
