    Default TORSION BAR or SHOCKS or SHOCK ADJUSTEMENT

    Good morning folks,

    I have recently noticed that my front end as a tendency of wanting to roll when cornering.

    I have never had the shocks adjusted.

    So the question of the day, do I have the shocks firmness adjusted,
    OR
    Switch to a BajaRon torsion bar
    OR
    Go for new shocks.

    Limited means, therefore one choice only.

    Thanks

    Dom

    Dom,
    What year bike are we discussing?
    2010 to 2012: you can adjust the preload on the front shocks.
    Newer bikes don't come equipped for that action, but BajaRon can set you up with some pre-load adjusters for your bike.
    If it comes down to a new Anti-Swaybar, or new shocks: try the bar first... quite simply: it's the cheapest option.

    Default What you ryde...

    The shock relocators were for models through 2012 as are adjustable front shocks. You should start with a laser alignment and then go for the BajaRon sway bar. After ryding a bit to get the new feel of things move on to the adjuster if needed or better shocks... watch your tire pressure...

    I have a 2014 RT I just put on BajaRon Sway Bar & Adjusters and WOW what a difference. Do some research on this site and what they say is very true. I couldn't explain what I felt on curves before the upgrade but it wasn't a warm feeling. The corners that I use to go into at 50mph I took last weekend at 65mph and felt I could have pushed it more. Now I now why the Nanny talks when you do this Farkle.

    I just put the BajaRon Sway bar on my 2015 RT Limited this past Friday, and took it for a 100 mile test ride and I can tell you that it took 90% of the roll out both 1up and 2up. No need to do anything to the shocks in my opinion

    Check tire pressures first- free.
    Shocks and sway bar? See BajaRon for bofems. Rides like a champ ever since!
    1. Check fluids & tire pressures.
    2. Start bike.
    3. Hold on.
    4. Full throttle.
    5. Repeat 3-5.
