Hello all! Can anyone tell me approximately how much front suspension travel my 86 Big red 250es is supposed to have? Mine doesn't deem to have very much (maybe 3 inches or so?) The front end also seems to be almost bottomed out without anyone sitting on the trike. I'm sure ill have to take it apart to see what's going on... Any advice?

Its certainly not a long travel suspension... Probably 5" at the most... Shouldnt bottom out by just sitting on it though.

check the boots for oil under them. im thinking they have bad seals and no oil left in them... and maybe a spring problem ?
