Suspension and ride question

Motorradmark · Jan 14, 2013

Finally got my project 110 back on the road - much thanks for all previous advice and info.

I replaced a worn out set of OME shocks with terra firma prosport+2 shocks, and left springs as is.

It rides terrible, floaty and leans into turns. Not a stable platform anymore.

What did I do and what should I start to restore stabilty.

I am sure i left out some vital info. Appreciate any help or advice.

Regards
Mark

fcuked springs why didn't u change them?

Didnt know they were bad.

How do i know what to replace them with? Height-wise, i mean.

Was the vehicle lifted originally? If not then youve fitted +2 shocks with standard height springs?

It has OME extra HD springs presently, so i am confident of the exisitng +2 " lift. Did some research last night on previous owner's work.

I had OEM HD springs In my previous 110 but they are still standard height so reckon your shocks are causing the issue

Did you prime your shocks before fitting them?
