GT Thunder Link Problem

[Thump_It]

Anybody have this problem......when I jump and my swingarm drops, my rear shocks moves forward and hits my swingarm towards the motor. In doing so, it pushes the spring back slightly (around 1/8 in.). The paint is chipped from my swingarm as well. Anybody else have this problem? Just lift up on the grab bar and see where your shock goes when it has no weight on it. Thanks for your help.

E-mail Lazarus at ********.com, he has his own Q&A on there.

this may not have anything to do with what you are talking about, but i think you are supposed to cut a small hole in the skid plate when you run this link.

I don't have a skid plate, but thanks.

You probly need to rasie up the rear and turn the spring so it doesn't hit. Mine does touch a little but if i turn spring it doesn't touch.

Yes, but it is recommended to get the stock shock revalved to your weight and riding style.
