Default Heavier Springs/Shocks

Does anyone know if there are any parts I can get to stiffen up my Eiger's ride? It's good when just cruising around, but when I jump anything, even small jumps, I bottom out.

Well Eiger's arent really meant for jumping...but if you want to get some new shocks it's gonna cost you...I would recommend Elka shocks for an Eiger...but yea also I haven't seen an Eiger's insides or what ever but you can usually tighten or loosen the stock shocks...in the tool kit that comes with the quad (usualy under the seat) has the tool for tightening/loosening them...it looks like a flat bar thing with a half circle at the end big enought to fit arond the shocks...

Haha, I know, Eiger's aren't made for jumping, but who can resist? I haven't checked closely, but I don't beleive the shocks are adjustable as you say. I've seen what you are talking about on other ones, but I haven't seen it on mine....but I could be wrong, I'll look into that though. thanks

Shocks aren't adjustable.

Look into getting a set of Vinson shocks, which are supposedly much better and ARE adjustable. I've been researching it for a while, but can't come up with a used pair to save my life. I think they will be a direct bolt on replacement.
