🐷 New Member 18 Member For: 8y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/08/15 11:45 AM Share Posted 28/08/15 11:45 AM Fg xr6-t has been recently lowered with SSL fronts and SSSL rears. Had a look underneath and the rear is sitting on the bump stops. Is that bad to be riding on bump stops? Should I take the bump stops off completely? any opinions would be muchly appreciated. Cheers.

Maybe they should be cut at the next knuckle from that or completely remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how did your issue get fixed under warranty when they don't come from factory sitting on bump stops? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 13y 2m 30d Posted 01/09/15 02:39 AM Share Posted 01/09/15 02:39 AM Why a solid firm centre and stock sides now? That is the opposite to what you actually want for longevity with a bit of power. Surprised you haven't had a bolt snap with that setup! Don't think that "pre load" theory is correct either... first I've heard of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
