Title: Bottoming out whine.... Post by: Sahara311 on June 22, 2006, 01:59:59 PM So, took my quad out to Bostwick Creek MX park yesterday, and i am just getting brave enough to jump the hills instead of rolling them.
So, I start jumping and at first, i am landing way forward and subsequently have a sore chest and wrists due to it, but anyways... :-\ I start jumping bigger, and landing further back, and CLUNK total bottom. >:( So i try to adjust my landings and no go, still bottoming out. :'( I have a DS 250- which is truly not a "sport" quad, but i got it t o do trails and track, and it was suggested to me by the dealer OVER the quadsport. It has a rear monoshock.... Anyone know any way to adjust the dampening? ps-Bostwick is awesome! Huge track and well groomed, they have 2 hare scramble trails and a mini track for the kiddies.

How old are you?

Rev your throttle to bring your nose up and tap your foot brake to drop the nose down, that will adjust your attitude/pitch. I'm not familiar with that model's rear shock, but you can check your owners manual, or look for a small round area at the top or bottom that looks like you can adjust with a flat head screw driver. Turning it clock wise and counter clock wise will make your adjustment if you indeed have an adjustable shock. Good luck. |
