Suspension Problem....

[HondaRacing23]

I have an 04 450R with Wicked Products +2 a-ams. I have 19X610 Front tires and stock Shocks. When I go to hit a jump my hole front end just sinks or digs into the ground. I think I need to get my front shocks revalved and a triple rate spring on. Have been trying to get ahold of GT thunder but heard hes in florida racing. My question is do you think my tires are just to small for that kinda setup and putting 21X7X10 will help out any? I think it is just a combination of all 3. Thanks:confused: :confused: :blah:

so what exactly happens? your frame hits the ground? it sounds like your bottoming out your shocks to me, they may be too soft, id call G T Thunder and have him set them up for u, better catch him at the right time tho, cuz this is the start of the GNCC season

Idk if this helps but on my 450r race bike i run 20inch tall tires in the front and 18inch tall in the back.

20"tall and 18" tall.??? Ive never heard of them. I have 18 on the back and im getting 21 on the front. Im going to try my friends stock tires and rims off his 400ex tomorrow and see if its any better. Im still going to get ahold of GT thunder monday or tuesday to get my stock shocks revalved and resprong. thanks

If your running the stock shocks. try turning your compression up. Also you can adjust your ride hieght by adjusting you spring level up or down sounds like turning the nuts down to raise the ride hieght is what you may need also.

I think im just going to get them resprong and valved. I set the hardness as hard as they can go and its still pretty bad. Im gonna put stock tires on it today and see if that makes any difference. Ill try to ride height to and see what that does..

They aerent a special kind of tire, he was just saying that they are 18 inches tall, like your rears are. I think your problem is running the +2 a-arms with stock shocks. Get them revalved for the longer a-arms and it should be fine. No more problem.
