Tip: because you have to jack these things so much to exceed the travel, orient your wood blocks fore and aft (front to back) when jacking. They won’t roll on you that way. Plus, I give you one season, and then you’ll be calling Shock Therapy. ;)
Shit I hit a tree sidewalk at a good rate of speed and it didn't hurt the cage much. Pretty impressive for how hard the hit was. I'll build a cage for it soon but I feel very safe with factory cage.
Fox shock tune must do. Line wheel bearing must do. Lube driveshaft must do. Love my X3 rc 2019. World best belt must do. Then your ready to have fun. Like the channel and even more now that your in a x3. Keep up the good work.
Oh one more I went a half turn more on the front shocks. Fast and slow compression and the rebound runs good at 15 front and 17 rear. Takes that rear jump out when your in the air.
@@BlownBudgetOffroad definitely go with world's best belt. Check out Rocky mountain ATV or SXSBlog for great deals on belts turbos tunes ect. Or evolution powersports
Glad to see your starting out with the proper suspension settings. Seeing as the tire pressure settings were kinda out to lunch and suspension settings were having lunch with the tire pressures; might be a good idea to check the rest of the machine over with a decent torque wrench. J.F.
Cool video guys! I cannot wait to see that beast do some work! Nice hoodie Billy! Thanks for reppin SXS Of Missouri! Hopefully we can get together again this year!
As we learned after the first 100 miles the springs will sag. I suggest adding at least another inch of preload. Have adjusted ours twice now due to sag!
For peace of mind and to prevent nasty things happening it's a good idea to remove each wheel and caliper and pump 6-10 pumps of grease into the wheel bearings. They come notoriously lacking in grease. The over the axle grease tool is cheap and easily available online. There are You tube vids on it
Do your self a solid and get aftermarket front control arms, and gusset kit. I’m not sure if orb makes stuff for the x3. But if they do. That is a great option.
Unfortunately the arms are needed for pretty much everyone. The stock are real weak. Just like the Polaris! I know a guy that folded lower arms on his brand new x3 at the dunes. And he was trail riding fast.
I didn’t see it in the video, but fox made a big deal about pressing down on the tire to get full droop before measuring. Did you do that and the tires just stayed down? Or do they spring back up?
Question on your Rebound. You say 20 clicks. What I found on fox website is 12? But not sure if it is correct. I’m running a 2020 maverick X3 turbo XDS 64”
I love the suspension on it but hate not being able to see out the back of it very easy The way it seems as though I sit in it I feel like a Mexican Low Rider just barely able to see over the hood
@@BlownBudgetOffroad also I am in Cleveland Ohio we have a place south of me about 2and half hours called wellsville u should check it out. Good riding trails rocks mountain climbs and mud!! Google wellsville Ohio offroad. I go there often with my x3
Blown Budget Offroad And for ride height I learned it needs checked with all your riding gear on board and with driver and passenger to really get true reading!
