thanks. lol

 

I have heard of things called double and triple rate shocks what are they? How much will they help?

 

Double rate shocks have 2 springs on them, a long one that is softer, and another one so once the softer spring compresses as much as it can, it pushes on the harder spring. Ussually triple rate are long travel, and they work the same way double rates work. Almost all the expensive shock manufactures have dual and up rates, i think ive even seen a quadruple rate shock...

 

lol he should get a medal

 

i am 120 lbs. what preload should i set my front shocks at on my 400ex

 

I would stay away from ______/\_____

10ft drop to flat ground hurts no matter what suspension.

 

if you tighten up the little screw towards the bottom left of the rear shock and tighten the spring all the way, your back end will not bottom out, as for the front, even with the springs adjusted all the way, they'll still bottom out but yyou can keep it to a minimum if you land on the rear wheels first.

 

Remember people that even if you dont bottem out, its still proboly going to hurt. if your are buying used look for a 400ex with aftermarket shocks. or if it comes with the stock shocks and they just are not cuting it then your best bet would to get Works shocks. they are nice for there price

 

Got another question for you guys, I was watching a huevos video and I just don't understand how they can jump so high without messing up their machines and their quads sit so close to the ground. If anyone could explain this to me or knows what kind of setup they use I would like to know. Thanks!
