bounce or vibration some of you get may be dangerous proplem

[dannylightning]

ok I noticed around 45-55 mph i was getting a bit of a bounce vibration or a bit of wobble going on, what ever you want to call it. i read about people getting this bounce around the same mph.. they say the stiffen the adjustments on the shock and it goes away. i had this problem since i got the bike and it seemed to be a little more noticeable the last few days but i did not really think any thing of it since i read the other post about this.

It may not be something that just happens on these bikes and could be dangerous

my shock was loose on my bike and could have easily fell off ..... i tightened both of my shocks and i went for a 15 mile ride and tried to keep it between 40-55 the whole time and not once did i feel this bounce... it was loose enough it was not setting agaist the frame like it should when its tight.. so if you get or have ever got this bounce you may want to check to make sure your shocks are tightened on the bike properly.


i read about people getting this bounce around 40 mph and it went away at 55 or so exactly what mine was doing .. they say the stiffen the adjustments on the shock and it goes away, that may not have been the proper thing to do Check Your shocks and make sure they are tight!!!!!!! and i mean the nut that holds them on not the stiffness setting

Im having fun checking up on everything on the bike and working on it a little and im glad i have been doing this the last few days or i would have never noticed and the thing may have fell off..
