Mountopz Coolster 125 suspension
I got this 4 wheeler for my son who is 50lbs. The suspension is super stiff. Has anyone found softer suspension that works well and not very expensive? Thank you in advance!

The suspension on these are usually adjustable and set up with some adjustability up or down.

My fronts are non adjustable, and the rear is on softest spring compression setting. I'm 220lbs and when I sit on it, the suspension might move a half inch. When my son rides it, it's like riding a log. Surely someone has tried some cheap Amazon shocks and had better luck?

Also are there any exhaust upgrades, wheel spacers, or lower geared sprockets that would fit...this thing won't pull itself up the trailer ramp unless you have a run at it...
We installed some LED light pods on it and can see at dark now when we ride. He loves it. |

Most of us are old farts ,we don’t comment when we do not have knowledge of your particular question or specifics on each and every different bike ,and we don’t seem to have a ton of info on the little ATV’s like yours other than the dozens of threads asking about wiring issues .I will say ,original Honda small kids 3 and 4 wheelers didn’t come with suspension ,and running low pressure in the tires was what was done to compensate .

Is this your ATV?
https://coolster.com/vehicles/atv-3125f2/ I bought my grandkids a Taotao 125D. All of these smaller ATVs are similar. I was looking at the manual for the above vehicle and it says to avoid adjusting the speed limiter. It sounds like you might need to. It's a screw on the throttle that limits how far the thumb throttle pulls the cable. As to the suspension, it looks like there's a reservoir for the oil. Maybe there is the ability to go to a lighter weight shock oil. I have no experience with these type of shocks but a search on here or YouTube might yield some info.

Yes that is pretty close to it. I think ours is a 3125x2. There is no oil reservoir.
Anyone out there that's found softer suspension please let me know. |
