Almost every newbie that sets up suspension think the back bottoms at full hard, but its the center. It's very common around here! Just one thing i'd mentioned if i was to make this clip. Center is by far the most difficult damper to get good things out from if you don't have charts or some good knowledge since earlier. These new rider forward models realy do rely alot more on the center spring and damper imo.
U guys should do a set up tips on the 2015 Rush & Switchback, seems the book doesn't really give u a ride hight to start or maintain. Just gives u spring inches they want between the adj collar and shock base. Would help since i see a lot of guys over cranking spring to where its rubbing shock body and they say it rides like crap.
If the design of these shocks is anything like a motocross, you actually tune the rebound first as there is always some compression free bleed pass the rebound needle. Meaning each time you adjust the rebound, you slightly soften/stiffen the compression a bit as well.
I like that polaris includes a really nice Walker Evan's shock package on every model they have. Ski doo you need to spend more money on an X edition wich is a pain in the ass. Polaris all the way
I have searched and searched for a video on yamaha viper/sidewinder suspension set up.. I cant find any.. Other than videos with the qs3s with the adjustable clickers.. I dont have those i have the fox 1.5 zero shocks with just a rebound knob. At first when i would come in to a corner it felt like it wanted to roll to the outside. Someone told me to stiffen the front springs. So i did now i dont get the roll but instead pushes through to the outside of the corner.. Can someone make a video on how to set up yamaha specific suspension.. The manual only shows the qs3 set up
But with bumps continously changing or not hitting the same bump in exactly the same place or soeed how can you ever hope to understand what to do? No wonder people get lost.....waaaay too many variables. Constantly changing variables. Even day to day co dirions change. The fact that ither sleds.....constantly changing the trails you ride on let alone the groomer how on earth are u to figure this out? I prefer the old days where all u had to worry about was wethwr u were bottoming out. Way to confusing and im pulling my hair out trying to wrap my head around it. Throw in a sore back into the mix and ya.....good freakin luck. I hate my suspension in my 06 apex gt.......can not figure it out. Almost makes me not want to ride any more.
So you go buy a brand new $16k snowmobile but don’t worry your dealer will take more of your money and install actual proper springs 😂 maybe they should realize at ski doo the average guy isn’t 140lbs soaking wet anymore
