I know this sounds like an odd post but you guys are very experienced...
I am about a 215 pound guy.. I have a 2001 400ex... I have both of the settings on the back shock all the way in for heavy load.. I have my front shock on the 4th of 5 settings..
Me and my friends jump this hill that is about 5 or so feet tall.. We jump distance wise about 15 feet or maybe more.. but at highest we get about 6 feet sometimes.. Its just a hill out by the river..
When i jump it really high and i land HARD.. it seems like the thing is going to break and throw me off....
My question is what kind of stress does that kind of jumping do on a bike.. and is that about what the bike is capable of or do i need to upgrade things?? IF so what upgradesa...
In order to keep things working the way they should..
Thanks in advance
