If the suspension was bottoming with a child, a stiffer or longer shock is wise. That said, most dirt bikes have the very symptom you describe. They usually have a chain slider that wraps around the swingarm pivot point. It's a sacrificial part that requires periodic replacement. You could fashion one out of UHMW.
