MILO Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i noticed that my shee sags a little with no additional weight on it, just sitting in the garage. i mean, i can pick it up about 1/2" from it's normal sitting height before it tops out. my nephew's blaster isn't like that, it's pretty rigid. is that normal or is something starting to go on it? also when i sit on it it drops about 4", it shouldn't be more than about 3" right? i'm gonna bump up the preload for rider sag, but shouldn't it be topped out with no rider??

MILO Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i worked on the preload some and got it to where it only sags about 3 1/4" with me on it. if i understand this correctly, with the wheels off the ground the spring length should be no shorter than 8 7/16", at least by my clymer's. and that's where it's at now, so that means i'm out of preload adjustment, right? adjusting definitely helped with the 1/2" sag with just the shee itself, the rest of it is from some play in the linkage bushings, which i have new stuff to replace it with. so is the 3 1/4" sag with rider on sound about right, or am i in for some shock or spring work to get it any better?

Shane Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Is there any sign of oil on the shock shaft? I'd venture to guess that your shock is blown out. We can repair it if the shaft is still in good condition. If you need any help just ask. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
