Any info would be great I'm with ya on that one, they do appear to be a tad on the stiff side, but they work great Quote
blanco25 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 dude i weight 220 and when I sit on them they dont move. My girls 450 is stiff and when i sit on it, it compresses a little not on the marvins. The rear is the one thats really stiff. Is there a break in period. Do i need to jump on these things like a trampoline to break them in. Quote
shanYE west Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Its gonna be a ruff ride! You'll have to adjust pressure to get the ride you want. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 The owner of Marvin Shaw told me they would be stiff until broken in. I never used those, so they're essentially un-used. Give the guys at Marvin Shaw an email or call. They were awesome to talk with, and deal with when I bought those. :thumbsup: Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah mine were the same way but i'm about to order that refill kit since i have easy access to a nitrogen tank at work that way i can adjust them the way i want. My fronts are stiff as hell but the rear needs alot more pressure in them i'm scared when i take off it's gonna compress to much and drag the bottom of my frame and not to mention foot. Quote
Animalman294 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Marvin's are good shocks, just adjust them until you find the ride you like................. Quote
