RNBRAD Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Man that stock rear shocks rebound is soooo sloooooow that the back wheel prolly stay up in the air for a couple seconds after you hit a whoop, specially with a plus 4. You must have got an MX set-up, they will beat you to death in the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 CALL SHANE FOR SHOCK SERVICE (219) 313-1424 Does it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) I run a +5 swingarm and had my rear shock rebuilt by Shane.... It works awesome. I used the stock shock as-is for a year before getting it rebuilt and it is a huge improvement. Give him a call....

Wallrat Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 You're wrong. That was me correcting you. Any shock needs to be setup for your type of riding. If you're cruising around the dunes taking it easy and never hitting anything hard, then you want as soft a shock as possible cuz all you're worried about it rider comfort over small bumps. Since the stock shock felt good to you with a +4, I'm guessing this is the type of riding you do. For myself, I bottom out my stock rear on a stock swinger whenever I pull off a decent jump. I'm over the limits of my stock valving. Small chop is hell, whoops are okay, small-ish jumps are okay, big jumps are brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Naw man I'm hardly a pro. I just know enough to be a danger to myself. Once you get that shock valved for your weight, terrain, and riding style you'll be very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Have you tried playing with the adjustments at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Have you tried playing with the adjustments at all? 436402[/snapback] what he said....any shock will ride like crap if it's not adjusted properly. I found a " how to adjust your shocks " info deal.... I think it was on the Elka website. It was very helpfull... told you what all the adjustments do and how to adjust them to match your riding style.

Bansh88 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Those retards at PC should have dialed it in for weight, swing size and terrain. Did they replace the coil? My rear was rebuilt by Works. Feels great in whoops and such. Bottoms out in the drops though. You need more chrome on it to make it smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
