I bought this machine used for my kids to ride but my youngest is still too little to ride it. But she still likes me to give her rides on it. I am talking flat ground 10 miles an hour. Can you put a stiffer rear shock in these machines? It's fine when my kids or wife are on it but if I get on it the chain seems to rub unless I sit way in the front of it. (Insert fat joke here).I know they are more for ore youngsters than adults and I am planning on getting a full sized one this year at some time but just wondering if you can stiffen the back end up on these with a stonger shock. It is already turned to the stiffest placement on the shock at this time. Maybe it is good enough and the chain needs tightening more?

If it is loose with you on it it should be even looser with the kids on it. You definitely need to tighten the chain if it is loose for you.

I'm not sure if the chain is actually loose. When I sit on it the shock goes down farther and so does the chain. The chain is clicking on some type of metal bar guard that is rounded. The more weight on the machine the closer it gets to that bar.

I would say you are way to big for the machine then without knowing your weight.
