[QUOTE="Whooshka, post: 1459694, member: 93041"] By "jumping" do you mean "bouncing"? Start with 3 easy things... 1) Set tire pressures to 41/42 2) Make sure the front wheel and tire are balanced correctly. Take it to a shop if you don't have a balancer. 3) Set your suspension. Start in front with 3 lines of preload showing, 8 clicks out from full in on rebound and compression damping. These settings work well for a 200 pound rider, I don't know your weight. On the rear shock set preload on soft and rebound 8 clicks out also. If all of these things have no effect I'd say you have front tire that isn't mounted correctly (check the rim/bead all around on both sides) or you have an out of round tire. Worse case is when hey changed out the fork seals and bits they didn't reassemble the forks correctly. [/QUOTE]
