well the rear shock can be rebuilt and set up for your weight. check this site here----> pro-action I dont think the fronts can be revalved, you might just have to deal with them or purchase a new set , like ohlins shocks. Real expensive though. oh one more ? for ya . Have you adjusted the stockers you have?

 

Yeah, what Zig said, the front stockers aren't the best in the world for sure and cannot be rebuilt. You couls probably get a good set of Works for a descent price though. The rear shock seems to work pretty good for a stocker if you get it dialed in right, if not just have it rebuilt.

 

I had White Brothers rebuild the rear on my wife's quadracer. Ended up being right shy of $150 shipped back to me.

 

Here's what I went from. Had a set of who know's what with rezzies on the front(I know they were not made for the racer, would bottom the frame out on the ground) and a stock rear. I got a set of stockers in A+ shape for the front and that was better. Then I got a damn near new set of Tri Rate with rezzie Works shocks for the front for 300, already valved for my weight even, and then took my rear in and had it rebuilt for $152 bucks at a local shop. This thing rides smooth and predictable now, and I love it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I'd highly recomend a new set of front shocks, best buy for a Q-racer.

 

i got a 87 quadracer 250 and the rear full floater is amazing. your shock must be shot.

 

i have the stock shock on back of my 88 not bad at all.
but the front i would go with works. i need a set too so make sure to buy two sets and send me one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
