Now I know the VX is renouned for its hard ride, but I'm beginning to think something is wrong with mine. Apart from the ride being bone-jarring, it seems to have trouble keeping the tyres on the ground.
I replaced the rear springs with 912 a while ago and cranked the tortion bars. I don't remember noticing a huge difference ride-wise, but now I'm wondering if things are 'not quite right'. Basically when driving down a rough road the wheels seem to 'bounce'. I was cornering in the wet on a badly surfaced tarmac road and she sort of hopped sideways a bit. I was going very slowly.
Does this sound like knackered shocks or does it sound normal? Is there a test for the stock shocks?
If they are normal, what would you guys recommend I change them to to give me a softer ride? I use it off-road a fair bit and on tarmac to get to where I'm going, but dont race or rally it!
Or maybe I'm just getting old?
Cheers
Nick
