Young Guns Racing Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Im completely new to these shocks, bough em second hand and they look great - almost like brand new. The ressies on them say "nitrogen filled" and they are the float x models and are stock banshee length shocks. Long story short I put them on my bike today and compared to the stock shee shocks they sit REALLY LOW. The frame is probably about 6 - 8 inches off the ground with no engine in it. Then when I jump up and down on my bikes pegs I bet its only 2 - 3 inches from the ground tho it appears the shocks are rebounding fine. Is this normal? Is there anyway I can tune these shocks to have a little higher ride height possibly? Any information at all would be appreciated! Thanks!

locogato11283 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yep. You most likely need to adjust the air pressure. - HMFIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 You should have gotten one of these with your shocks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastnline75 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 And when you add air make sure to raise the front end off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monster Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 They sell those pumps at most peddle bike shops. Just make sure it works with your air fitting on the shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 You should have gotten one of these with your shocks.. Since these are my first set I didnt know any better. The seller said he thought he had one and is looking. If nothing else you guys know anywhere online I can buy one decently priced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
