Rear end bucking

[RIQUE]

I have adjusted my Sag and feel happy with the outcome. However, over bumps the other day I felt the rear end was bronco bucking. What should I adjust to make it more forgiving?

[gzinga]

try this settings on the shock

Set shock low speed compression to 2, high speed to 1 and rebound to 6

Check rebound if it's too fast it will pogo over bumps

Most definitely take a look at the rebound. Dave Moss does an adjustment in the video. Might be able to see what he is describing.

This is a problem with the bimmer... some also call it "pumping". Basically it happens when the rear loses grip then regains then loses then regains, etc... It's especially bad when you are going over a rise or topping a hill leaned over. At barber it is a beast to ride because of this. I have ohlins in the rear and t-man changed the rebound valving to help with this issue specifically. The link toye has out is supposed to help also?

Jeremy Toye who owns Lee's Cycles has developed a rear suspension link(where the bottom of the shock mounts to). It is a linear link vs. the progressive link that comes stock on the bike. Racers adjust spring rates for different tracks, riders, conditions, etc. It's harder to dial that in when your spring rate gets progressively harder the further down in the stoke you go. You can easier adjust that rate when the spring rate is linear and predictable which is what toye's link provides as far as I understand it.

I had the same problem. Try the following:

Hi: set to 8
Low: set to 7
Rebound: set to 8
