The cheap solution to the problem is a new spring and some neoprene rod for dampeners at either end, matching a spring to your weight and the bike should be easy enough and having a longer spring will provide a slower action and less bounce. I’m a new subscriber congratulations on the 1k it should snowball for you soon if you keep making content even if you think it’s not worthy it’ll help once you get to 10k subs it’ll skyrocket into the hundreds of thousands, I believe this to be true just keep doing what you’re doing it’s obviously working. Cheers for the video mate and G’day from Australia 🇦🇺
@@MrCentralDriver 20+ yrs ago I rode DH mountain bikes through my teens, new genuine shock springs for my bike were $400 but i sourced new springs and dampener material for under $100. Match your weight to a compression spring in the same dia as the original, fully extend the suspension and measure inside the tube to the cap where spring goes and then add 5-10% to total length of spring, I used neoprene bushes for tie rods on cars they were the right dia but were too hard I found softer neoprene rods on eBay (I think this was 20yrs ago so memory is a little vague lol) but a stiff spring and soft 1.5 inch dampener made a nice smooth ride with no bounce or jarring through to the handle bars and had 10in travel under load like when you drop off or flat land. Nice chatting with ya, good morning and I hope u have a good day Stay safe out there it’s not you but everyone else you’ve got worry about, hi vis vest at least and flashing front and rear light day or night
That springs are probably getting weak and the solution would be to put new ones in. Too bad the shocks aren't oil filled like most motorcycles. I once drained the oil on my '73 750 Kawasaki and replaced it with a heavier oil and the result was NO SHOCKS! I ended up removing it and replacing it with a lighter oil to get it to work properly. I did find out that the original oil in the system had moisture in it and that was ruining the shock tubes with corrosion is why I changed it.
@@MrCentralDriver ya my timing was shit but it worked out actually because I took another look at the new talaria and now that I know theyhave a pedalkit option we'll it just made sense... so I bought one today... and I absolutely can't wait... alot can happen in 6hrs lol

My killah forks had a droop from stock. Always wondered why. It does ride pretty good but may try this in the future
Definitely would. No modification required so if u don’t like it. Take it back out.
I should 3D print some of these spacers 🤔
yeah if they can take the abuse.
