I seriously need some help here .org family.....
I am having trouble with my rear suspension. I have lowered it just a little with dogbones. I did the Jinksters suspension setup( I am not blaming Jinkster in ANY way)- this consisted of adjusting the rear as follows: adjusted spring tension DOWN two full turns, adjusted the compression from 0 out to 7 clicks, the rebound from 0 out to 10 clicks....That worked well for me riding single, but I guess it maybe is not right for riding two people....
My wife is about 115 lbs. and I'm about 200 lbs.- I don't know when the rear tire started to rub--I couldn't hear it rubbing at anytime..But apparently the suspension was too soft at this adjustment. I noticed that the tire had evidently rubbed a hole just under where the tool bag is held down (and slightly behind there too). It was evident that the tire was what had caused this.
I tried to adjust the spring down 4 more turns to see if that would keep the tire from rubbing any more...It still is rubbing.. Next I tried to adjust BOTH the compression and rebound adjusters---adjusted them in to make them stiffer..still rubbing.
So, I started BACK at zero...went back to factory settings I had marked BEFORE I ever started the Jinkster settings...
Then I ONLY adjusted the compression and rebound settings in again to try and stiffen things up... It seemed to help some but I STILL think that I heard it rub a little bit when we hit some rough spots in the road when riding today..... What can I do to ENSURE that I can get enough clearance to not have to worry about the tire continuing to rub worse...You know it's damaging the stock undertail by rubbing the plastic and I know it is hurting the tire some too...I need a fix to not have to worry about the condition of the tire===I don't want to have a blowout--especially with my wife on there with me...can someone help??? Thanks in advance....Chris
