JSHEE34756 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well as the title states what can I do to get the most out of stock shocks so they won't blow out? I know not jumping it off the ground is one but my stocker went out without warning for no reason. I do ride pretty fast even when semi rough but its not overkill, I notice they generate lots of heat when I ride but I don't think heat that is not burning heat will be bad for them? Any help really appreciated as well as a suggestion for mildly priced aftermarket shocks anyone recommends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there that incredibly bad huh? Well I am without doubt going to upgrade so I am crossing my fingers and hoping they will last for 6 more months, The wife will kill me if I spend anymore money on the bitch. Speaking of wife/girls I think I need to keep that one topic alive with females on banshees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just not riding the bike will make them last longer... The stock front is trash!!! Way out of date. Was cool back in 87. But not 2010. try to find some used after market shocks and send them to Matt on here for a rebuild for your set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
