250SX Rear Shock

[sj13]

I weigh like 215 and it seems that ahock cant deal with it. A diet is out of the question :beer

Are there any cheap options for a different rear shock?

[Huffa]

I used to weigh 215 and had no problems with the stock rear shock, are you sure yours isn't blown, is there damping to it yet ?

You jumping it or just casual trail riding ?

Is it bottoming out all the time, pogoing up and down or what ?

Did you test it with rear spring off, see if the shaft has resistence ?

[sj13]

yeah it seems to be ok... just can bottom it out. I need to get a spanner wrench I have 1 more adjustment I can do... I dont think That will solve it. I do put heavy things on the rear rack I should of mentioned that. I am sure thats added to it.

no. Your only option is to put the stock one on the highest setting or break down and get a works

What about a 250 Big Red shock WP ? Would that bolt right on and wouldn't it most likely have a stiffer spring?

You have a 250 BR, right ?

[Tri-ZNate]

from what i remember the BR had different mounts. i dont have either machines readily available to look at

Get another trike.... I love the SX but unless your just cruisin around and ridin wheelies your just too fat. Tough love bro......

My SX worked great when I was 185lbs, but I was confused at that point, working out and running allot in hopes of a new love.

I found her, she is 350X lbs of love and told me to quit running and drink more beer. I agreed, gained 20lbs and now life is bliss.......
