    Stiffer Springs?

    Is it me or is the suspension really, really, really soft. Like sitting normal the shocks are half sagging. Anyone recomend any springs? Thanks

    I noticed the same thing. I switched over to 60wt oil and it was too much for the shocks and i blew the caps off the back shocks on some big jumps.

    So, i switched over to 40wt (stock it comes with 30wt) and it is GREAT. I highly recommend switching over to 40wt shock oil. I dont think you will be disappointed. Its not too hard, not too soft.

    Put 3-4 mm of fuel line on the bottom of the shock shaft and you wont blow the caps off. My pede takes 12-15 foot drops with the plastic caps, or spend the cash for the alum caps.

    Put in the pre-load shock spacers too, that helps to keep the stock springs from sagging and gives a bit more tension.
