How much bounce should a 200x shock have? (update)

[seadoo650]

Just exactly how much does it bounce? I just got a different shock off Ebay and it seems a little bit better than the old but it still seems too bouncy. It feels nothing like my 350x rear shock. Should it feel the same? Or is the 350x shock just beefier. The old shock felt like a pogo stick. If it's blown I'm gonna try to email the seller and see what he will do.

The seller lists the shock as decent/usable. I don't feel it is usable unless this much bounce is normal.

Someone please tell me if there is that much of a difference between a 350x rear shock and a 200x. I don't want to get mid-evil on his ass if I'm wrong.

I'd say it should be like that. The 350X shock has alot more weight to support, therefor it will have less bounce because it has more weight to push back up/ontop of it.

Ok. I realize the 350x is alot of trike but I can stand over the 200x and when I drop down on it, it bounces up and down like three or four times before it comes to a rest.

I'm majorly concerned because this is my wife's trike and I don't want her to get tossed like the thing has a ejector dseat.

It's blown. A good 200x shock will feel like any other good shock, even a good 350x shock.

Well.. that is very weird.. but never owning an 200X I couldn't tell you. I just figured I'd try giving you my .02.

Thanks Oldschool. I'm on this guy like ..... welll I don't know what like but you know what I mean.

yea thats definetaly blown, i had a blown shock on my 200x and every time i shifted the little jolt it gave would give me a good three bounces...its not too expensive to rebuild around 50 bucks, but you should definetaly have ** seller pay for that...

Thaks adam. I got an email to him so I'll wait to see what he says.

I did'nt know you could rebuild one of these shocks. How and where to get the parts? I have two of them now and I paid too much to use them as boat anchors. LOL

[200xadam]

you should be able to go to your local bike shop. not posotive how it works, if they need to order a rebuild kit or if there able to rebuild it themselves.. i would imagine they have to order seals or whatever. (ive never rebuilt my shock but i was looking into it, but a friend gave me a new one)

regardless your local bike shop should be able to help you out

[seadoo650]

I'll check tomorrow. I got a local mom and pop shop a mile away from me. I don't care for the dealers in my area.

[200xadam]

yea i understand that, theres not a single dealer around me that i care for. the one i deal with is about 15 miles away and there still not to great but its the best i can find.

good luck on your shock. if the need comes i have a 200x shock that i could sell ya that isnt blown out and i can guarantee it lol

[seadoo650]

Cool. Trying to work a deal now on one anyways. If it falls through I'll take ya up on that.

[200xadam]
