anyone esle experienced tat wonderful feeling on the vforce yet? i have quite a few times i think its time for some new shocks

 

Yea man! I've heard and felt that nasty thunk quite a few times. The rear is the one that gets me the most. If I land on all 4 tires at the same time instead of the rear first, she does bottom. I only weigh 175 and don't go all that big. I'm gonna mess with the rear preload, already have the fronts on stiff. Have you heard of anybody making shocks for the Force?

 

my suspension is set up the same way. but i weigh 280 so i got alot more weight falling out of the sky. i've heard elka is supposed to hae something in the works, i sure hope they do.

 

I have a friend who races and he was up at Elka a few weeks ago. They had him sign something saying he wouldn't say anything about the V-Force he saw up there, Kawi has them working the bugs out of the rear, not sure about the fronts.

I have my v-force at 51' and I only bottom out the front on big jump but I only weigh 180, thats light compared to some of you. But I have Elka Elites on the way so I could jet more travel for the ruff stuff.

 

The force has adjustable compression on the shock. Set her up a little and it wont bottom out. When i got mine the shocks were set to the softest settings on preload and compression. Set the preload stiffer first but it rode to stiff. Put it back and stiffened the compression seting and its perfect now for my 230lb @ss. Also makes it pound woops better.

 

I have it set the stiffest setting already but my Elka's are being delivered next week so I'll deal till then.
