if i was you dont run your preload too low for turning because you wont clear the jumps you used to before and will have a broken wrist like me.:grr:

What did you do, bottom out your frame on the face of the jump or something?

yeh the first time i was there when i hit it full speed(3rd gear) i over shot it about 15-20 feet,this was in practice so i hit it in full speed an i cased it on the landing and it so hard it knocked my hand off the left side and quad whent over and i smashed my hand into the ground.i switched the shocks from my 04 to my dads 05 and i ran the preload a little lower:grr:

i have my preload all the way out, with my compression about 3/4 the way hard and my rebound is very slow on the front. now the back is another issue.

speaking of rear shock i am having some what of a bucking issue on my rear shock. i am running elka's rear shock with the linkage in the rear. i did not realize it till one of my buddies rode it and told me that. i guess being new to the sport i thought it was right but they said it not soppossed to be like that. i just want it to be right.

why is like this?
