My kids and I went over to our regular ridding place yesterday and we
put our 3206 thru some ditches, small elevations and high speed
cornering and turning.

The reinforced spindles held their ground, but the main problem now
is that the lock nut holding the bottom of the spindle to the swing
arms is coming loose every half and hour to 45 minutes. I also have
he same problem with the tied rod ends for the steering.

There were additional rattle noises in low speed, but after checking
almost every bolt and nut in the frame, I think it is just the way
the frame resonates at low speed.

I believe part of the problem with the rough ride is the rear swing
frame, where the engine is mounted. It just does not seems to move
that much when driving over uneven terrain. The front suspension on
the other hand since to be moving and dampening very effectible.

I may have to adjust the rear shocks to see if softening the shocks
produces any noticeable improvement. (Are the rear shocks supposed to
be hydraulic too?).

That's the last ride for this week, since we will have to wait until
next weekend to ride again.
