Shock Ajustment Thread

badfun · 03-31-2008, 11:58 PM

So I have said in other Threads that when I get to 55-60 Mph the rear end of the bike vibrates/bounces not so much that I fear wrecking however I can't take the feeling for more than 10 to 15 minutes before my arse is toast. None of the other bikes I have owned did this, I could ride them all day. So I am on a quest to figure out whats up. After poking around various forums I thought maybe my shocks or spring might be worn out or need adjustment. With so little miles on the bike the guy at the local bike shop said he doubted the shocks were bad, but suggested that I change the settings that I didn't know were there. After a few minutes reading the manual I had them set. Heres how if you ever want to mess with it.

I was only able to take a short ride for fear of more t-storms. It didn't "cure" the problem but I did like the feel better, next I am off to have the tires balanced. Is anyone having this problem or had it with their Gz?
