@ dbest1a My advice also all the joints and the rods that conects the arms to the suspension and bod, is to oil them, that could cause it to stick like that also and then change the oil but really drain the shocks upside down for a few hours or better yet over nyt,
@alammylene yeah, I swapped the 35wt oil out for 50wt, which seemed to improve it a bit, gonna try some 3n1 oil on the joints and see what that does. def no matter what it's a wheelie monster, next thing I want to do is get rid of that steel spur gear, and install a hardened plastic gear.
@akisiel i just put some 60wt oil that I had left over from years ago in the front and the back. The rear pretty much does the same thing, but not as bad... Only thing I can think of is all the weight in the rear end. I'll have to run it to see if the 60wt oil, improved the handling or not. I plan to jump this mass, so I want the suspension to be able to handle it.
