I've got a shineray 150 and the suspension is just terrible on real trails.
What would be the first step to improve the ride?

I'm sure Ohlins will make something for it, chinese ohlins that is probably be spelt Olrans though.

Don't want to be rude, but those Chinese bikes are not up to it really. Easier to sell and buy something made elsewhere.....

You arent being rude. Frosty said that it felt like the damping was no existant in the front and that the fork springs were about ten weights too light.

sell it...get a decent bike...and I'm not trying to be a arse..those bikes are cheap for a reason..they look like proper MX bikes..but they are not..I've seen one with a bent frame from jumping [I'm not talking about lil jumps here..these are very talnented dudes...doing very big jumps]...amongst the other things that were killed on it.

I have to agree with cowpoos. A mate at work bought the XR250 copy and it's been nothing but trouble. The rear brake caliper fell off when its retaining pin broke, the rear axle has a visible bend in it, the rear shock has NO damping and the spring would be OK for a pit bike, but off road may as well not be there. I think they need to be banned. They aren't fit for the purpose they are sold for.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

This doesn't help for next week.Can't frosty just put better springs and oil in the front forks?

if yours is like our shineray gy4 200cc trail bike - good luck - it is the most harshly suspended buck board I've ever thrown a leg over.
It would be so easy to spend more than the bike is worth trying to make the suspension work.
We geared ours right down so we could have fun going slow (up hills and through bogs etc) as there is only pain to be had from going fast.
falling off since ages ago..
i used to hav a chinese bike similar to that, and the rear shock was rooted, when i started doing jumps the bike would keep bouncing up and down after i had landed!also every time i dropped the bike, the plastics would snap in about 5 places! haha
then i got my KX125, its a completely different bike! i would recommend just giving up with the shineray and going japanese.. if u can afford it that is.
My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

hmmm. I like how their website says 'quality chineese motorcycles.'
they actually have a shineray mx team...wonder how good they are :?
Come warm yourself by the fire
I notice very few shingray here......mainly gn125 copies (and 1/3 of them are 'taxis')
I saw my first 250 sport bike yesturday.........GSX250.......i just about chased him down the street for a ride.

honestly the best thing to do, is sell your bike and look around for a second hand DRZ or KLX 125. The price second hand would be close to what you payed for your bike, if you brought it new,
Honda has a 150 even second hand they are not cheap, and Kawasaki has a new KLX140 not sure on price.

Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.
