Motorcycle Repair: how to increase wheel travel, gas shocks, suspension product

Question
hello mark,

i am from india and i ride a bike called pulsar.It is 150cc commmuter but it has very stiff rear shoks
.I want to put Gas shocks but dont know whether it will work of not.

Is it necessary to change the swingarm to longer one to increase wheel travel ?

Plz visit the site www.bajajauto.com for info about pulsar.

Answer
Hi Chandan,

You'll have to research suspension product websites to learn what shocks are available for your Baja.

Wheel travel is up and down (vertical) movement of the wheels. Yes...change swingarm to increase distance between wheels.

Respectfully,
