Blown suspension.... ** PICs****UPDATED READ*

[three_wheelin45]

SO went for a lil afternoon ride and only rode for about an hour and I hit this jump and when I landed.... I went all the way to the ground lol the whole shock was on the ground. So now im pretty much trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro.. . anyone got a 86-87 200x shock they want to sell?? or know of any other shocks that will fit cause I get pretty decent air when I jump and I dont want this trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro to happen again.. 139380139381

Was it just the seal on the shaft that blew out? If so, I believe you can get it rebuilt, it would probly cost a little more, but would most likely last longer than a 25 year old used shock. --- Jon.

[three_wheelin45]

idk ill pull it off in a bit and look.... well ill pull off whats left anyways, im so mad my birthday is in like 3 days and I planned on goin riding but guess not now.

[350xx]

I have one in the classifieds section in 200x parts. Good condition just needs the upper collar replaced, which i have. :]

[three_wheelin45]

ya I think its more then a seal broke...

[three_wheelin45]

alright so the top bracket is stripped out... IDk how ima get that bolt out, but I got the bottom part off. Any suggestions on getn the top bolt out, its almost out and hangin in the other side by a few threads but it wont tighten or lossen just spins there..

[bucko]

You can get a good shock off ebay pretty cheap..

[three_wheelin45]

are most shocks interchangable?? if so I want a good HD shock like a raptor shock or something.... I Like to fly ;)

[yamaha driver]

take like a crowbar or hammer. Use the claw part of the hammer and get on the backside of the bolt head and put pressure on it. then while applying pressure unscrew the bolt.

[Dirtcrasher]

I'd like to see this "10' in the air" :lol:

Maybe it was a dead shock. Shocks don't normally come apart.

Did you have brakes on this machine?

[three_wheelin45]

no brakes... and 10 ft, honestly yes Ive been that high but to a landing ramp... highest ive gone to flat ground was maybe 5 ft the jump I hit today I got about 3 ft of air and landed to flat ground... and it broke my chiet!! and DC trailprotrailpro a machinest!! are most shocks interchangable? and I might try the hammer thing tommorow

[yamaha driver]

and no most shocks are not, some are longer than others and shorter

[three_wheelin45]

alls i got to do is find one about 13-14 inches long and a 1inch wide bracket mounting... and i should be good

[three_wheelin45]

Lookin around and supposly a 300ex shock will fit... hmm... and the stock 86-87 shock has 7.2 inches of travel the 300ex has about 7.9 inches of travel

[daniel_250r]

300ex have a soft wimpy shock on the back i own one i weigh 180 and it goes through half its travel when i sit on it go with a 660 shock

[hillbilly 200x]

I have heard that a stock "red" spring off a 1st gen 200x will work on a 2nd gen 200x. The 1st gen is spot to be stiffed then the stock 2nd gen 200x.

[Chazz of Blades]

Please, PLEASE, buy a more common trike to destroy. That'd be like me using my 400WR Husky as a tractor.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Please, PLEASE, buy a more common trike to destroy. That'd be like me using my 400WR Husky as a tractor.

He has been told that many times before...... Kids these days!

[three_wheelin45]

Please, PLEASE, buy a more common trike to destroy. That'd be like me using my 400WR Husky as a tractor.

Please Please Please mail me money to buy another one... KK

[three_wheelin45]

[three_wheelin45]

Ya i saw the thread to where the springs are better on first gens and to put them on 2nd gens... and Xowner Ikr I love that quadsport shock :O

[350xx]

Did you not hear that i have a 86 shock in good condition and i also have 1st gen 200x shocks. I can hook you up man! Cheaper than that ebay one. Although that one is a little nicer.

[three_wheelin45]

ya i know 350xx I will keep u in mind bud i got another person on hold also cause tuesday im going to find one...and I relized I had a banshee shock in the shed ima lok at

[fabiodriven]

One thing you're not accounting for is the different rates of all these shocks. Different bikes have different ratios with their suspension linkage. Just because a shock works in one bike it does not mean it will work right in yours.

[dougspcs]

The kid is just trying to McGyver his trike for as cheap as he can so he can get his 'no-brakes / no bucket' running ass back out on the jumps as soon as he can!!

He has told many stories of his mad-max riding with no brakes or helmet, doing jumps and wiping out at top speed.

Personally I think a high power has intervened so that maybe his family doesn't have to bury him on his birthday..

I for one will refrain from offer suggestions on how he can accomplish this..because he is just making us accomplice to his suicide!!

If his machine is broken..let it stay broken a while. Perhaps he'll learn something and live to be our age. Probably not!!

[Jason125m]

Next time you're jumping '10 feet' take a video. I'm sure we'd all love to see a machine with no brakes speeding around retardedly, and jumping 10 feet in the air. Just buy a second gen 200x shock and BUY SOME BRAKES...

[three_wheelin45]

or we can break the boards rules and trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro in my thread... and ik Idk why I put 10ft, the most air ive got was 7ft and it was jumping off the side of hill (true story surprised my suspension didnt break then) and riding around fast with no brakes?? your sad lol brakes are nice but not a need for riding... haul ass in the open parts and dont go no faster then u want to hit something on the trails...

[three_wheelin45]

lol just wait until I get my 250r tommorow HA! cant wait to ride it with no brakes

[Jason125m]

your sad lol brakes are nice but not a need for riding... haul ass in the open parts and dont go no faster then u want to hit something on the trails...

Enough Said. You'll learn when you break your neck.

Don't expect a fundraiser for you.

If I was a mod, I wouldn't put up with this crap.

Feel free to ride without brakes, but please don't come on here posting about it.

[rdlsz24]

lol just wait until I get my 250r tommorow HA! cant wait to ride it with no brakes

awesome! sounds like fun!

This is a classic case of the annoying little kid at school. If you ignore him and don't feed into his childish games, he will eventually go away. Every one of his threads end like this because he doesn't have the ability to just keep his smart a-ss comments out of what ever he is trying to accomplish. He refuses to listen to the people who try and help. His intent is not to gather information to fix it the right way, but rather to start a pissing contest.

He has a reputation for flaunting his lack of regard for safety and could care less if his actions bring negative attention to the sport and never mind his bike is a rolling death trap. He post baits like a whore and most of the time we fall right into it. Just as I have right now.

[dirtdemon]

I don't understand why all of you are getting mad about what he does. It's only his and his family's problem. he will learn when he splits his head open or wakes up in a ditch.

Because as stated already, quite a few if not most of the members here, care about the positive promotion of 3 wheeled ATV's.


Simple scenario.
So here comes this guy to a riding park. The only riding park in his area that will allow 3 wheeled ATV's or a motocross track persay possibly. He takes off down the trail or track riding as fast as he can with no brakes and runs into a child on a mini quad, or an innocent bystander at the track and someone gets seriously hurt.
The park owner says "Well that's it for those 3 wheeled deathtraps" and bans trikes from that ride area. Then it proabably makes the local news, hits a insurance agent somewhere, all resulting in more hatred for ATV's in general and the "idiot hillbilly" on the death trap 3 wheeler caused it all.
