Default Pred Rear Suspension slow to Rise.

IS this normal or does the rear suspension just barely creep up. I push down on it and it takes forever to come back up. I've played with the bottom adjuster on the shock and it doesn't seem to make any difference. My buddies raptor he just bought has much more spring in the back then mine. Any advice or help appreciated.

thanks,

DAle

Thats good, if it springs back hella quick it will jump the backend around which jumps you around making you potenially loose balance off jumps. Look at it as an advantage.

i dont see it that way you want to have it come back up with some speed, if it is slow to come up when you hit repeated bumps such as whoops the shock will never fully recover and will bottom much easier.

That's what I was thinking.

Lol never looked at it that way. Yeah they are kind of slow though. Adjust the reservoir and see if it makes a difference. Thats why the got ohlins [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Every Pred I've ever seen does it........Mine does as well. I think its just the way they are. I haven't noticed any ill effects of the trait. I wouldn't worry about it.

Good thing Preds have adjustable rear shocks..........I like a quicker rebound, dial in the rebound so its dampend, but quick so the suspension is used to its full potential.
