#78376 molinamob (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Hello everyone I really don't know what to do with this, a couple of times when I have been out I'll hit a sharp dip or quick change in elevation much like on an over pass or a bridge kind of like a mini speed bump, and it feels like my bike bottoms out really hard, hard enough to make me feel it in my back. Took my wife out for a ride and it did it to us a few times. It doesnt happen all the time but when it does it doesn't feel real good. Thanks in advance for your help. And an update on the funny vibration on my floor boards gone I think it was all in my head. I went to stage 3 on my pipes and really like it not to loud but loud enough for me for now. Thanks again!!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #78377 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4872 Re:can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I found that mine was set at the softest setting.......so I followed the instructions in the manual , and set it to the highest setting (I'm a big guy) , and found that really made a difference. Takes maybe 10-15 minutes, tops. Check there first.

If you don't have the manual you can download it here for free.

Had the same thing happen to me - hit a bump going over a creek bridge with the daughter on the back of the scooter and definitely felt it bottom out. Fixing that is my project for tomorrow. Today I installed back on my seat to provide some much needed support. A bit of a tight fit for us big and tall types. Sort of reminds me of the old "cheap hotel" line. But took a spin on it and once I got "adjusted" it was much more comfortable than riding without the seat back. I'll live with it.   Logged     Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78398 molinamob (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Where did you get the back rest for your seat I could use one myself.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #78458 javawave (User) Over 16801 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3505 Re:can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   It is very easy to do if you can get the bike in the air. A little more troublesome with it on the ground. Hard to get to everything.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #78532 Heavy (User) If you're going to play - play to win! Senior Boarder Posts: 267 Re:can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I got the seat back from Firehouse Customs on e-bay. I bought the studded one - $154 plus shipping. About half what you'd pay for the Yamaha version. Here's a link to their e-bay store: http://stores.ebay.com/firehouse-Customs_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQtZkm   Logged     Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78545 Frankie_G (User) GODSPEED Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Re:can I adjust my rear suspension 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   molinamob wrote: Hello everyone I really don't know what to do with this, a couple of times when I have been out I'll hit a sharp dip or quick change in elevation much like on an over pass or a bridge kind of like a mini speed bump, and it feels like my bike bottoms out really hard, hard enough to make me feel it in my back.

Thanks again!!!! I was having the same problem. Adjusting the spring to it's maxium firmness didn't help. I ended up putting a Eibach 1000 lb spring on my bike and it made a world of difference. Well worth the money in my opinion. I'm about 290 lbs and my 'ol lady is a deuce and quarter ! Just kidding honey, she is around 140lbs according to her. With us both on the bike it was too easy to bottom out. But I would suggest adjusting your factory spring to the firm setting and try that before going to the next step. Good luck.   Logged     SLED ZEPPELIN   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78559 jetmechanic (User) If you don't ride,then you don't know!

Did you get two?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
