My rear shocks bottomed out on me the other day. Will cranking up the preload help this to not happen?

Did a little research got my answer. I think it's time for some new springs. -
cranking up the preload will help with bottoming out. but at the same time your shocks are probly shot, they were pretty bad from the factory so give them 20 years and they are probably worse now. New springs will help with bottoming out but if your dampning is toast then you just made a nice po go stick for yourself.
for the time being crank up the preload as high as it goes and enjoy the bike.78 GS1000 Yosh replica racer project

Bite the bullet RJ. Youll be glad you did. To bad those piggy backs are still on the back burner.

Thanks Bro's. If I'm keeping the bike I'll end up buying new shocks and springs. For right now I'm jacking up the preload on her. Thinking about a new Bandit 1250 next spring.

Okay guys, here's the deal. I cranked the preload up two notches before I left work this morning. It was all the way down at the bottom to start with. Felt much better.Comment
