why would you want to spend more money on shocks than the sunl worth? adjust the tire pressure to 6-8 lbs.

Has anyone tried to upgrade the shocks on a SUNL Transformer yet? Maybe something with dampning properties?

I bought two of the atvs for my sons, and they have performed well, but the shocks are REALLY harsh.

Howdy bill2099, we meet again! Thank you for your advice on the tire pressure, I will check that.

Well, my reasoning is thus:

I purchased two Chinese dirtbikes last year, my boys rode them alot, and they still work fine, albeit with a few minor maintainance issues that I would expect with any make. I felt that on the trails we ride, my boys would be better served and more stable on four wheels. The reason the ATVs are less expensive is because corners are cut on certain components. Sometimes those pieces can be upgraded to make a significant difference in performance. The motor is flawless to this point, and the frame and various moving parts seem to be holding up well. I reasoned that if I spent a hundred bucks, and got better suspenders, that would cut down on the jarring of the whole, resulting in a longer life for all of it. Even with the extra dollars, I am still many hundreds ahead of the game.
