Default Jumping & riding suspension scrambler

I adjusted my rear shock as someone suggested, It was already in the second to last spot from the dealer. I turned it to the final spot on my rear shock. Its still all stock 2004 scrambler 4 stroke. The results when jumping seemed a little better but when riding trails the back end was all over the place. I plan on setting it back to what it was.

Questions: How high can a stock scrambler jump(feet, safely)?

Does anyone have any idea why they changed to this shock(2004 scrambler) instead of the fox one?

i had a thread about jumping Scramblers.. search "Jumping scrambler 400" the frames are the same, so it should answer your question.

I read it but there is no stated height, just says no huge jumps but small ones are ok. Whats a small jump, 5 feet, 2 feet?

As long as you keepan eye on your chain slack, and are equiped with a chain tensionor, 5ft jumps shouldnt be a problem. I personally wouldnt take it higher than that, unless you put some more money into the suspension
