I’ve got these all the way backed out and can’t find bottom. I think I need to do a spring change? It’s also only a 600 and won’t pull the ski’s like I’m used to. The reason I grabbed the 600 is because Polaris 800 sucked balls before 2015. Not sure if you ever heard about the 800 problems. 600 Dragons also had the WE air shock stock. The Non Dragons had non rebuildable RydeFX shocks. You said it's on the softest setting? I assume the softest spring setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know what happens when a shock bottoms out right? I don't see how this is of any benefit but then again, not sure how/where you ride. Again, Tom for this. But if your front end is that "boaty"...how do you turn without rolling over? THis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always try and set everything up I own with suspension at 25% sag..so the shocks are always working in mid travel..it has really worked great for me..I might bottom a couple times a year on a big hit but 99% of the time the shocks are just moving throughout their normal stroke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm..there is a guy around here...think his name is Chad or something like that...he may have mentioned those 800 problems once or twice. Nice looking sled BTW.

I back them out until I hit bottom on a big hit then crank them in a few. I don’t ride around bottoming out the suspension all day. The prickers didn’t fold over and I didn’t have enough speed in that pic. I was down in a creak bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the way it’s set up is perfect for him. I think I need to do a spring change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you've got them set too stiff. 10 hours ago, Zambroski said: Yeah...a good winter really dried up stock on the top end sleds. There were some really good deals in January. I'm just kinda half-assed looking though. My sled is set up better in every way for what I want so, I'm good but, that doesn't mean I won't jump on something. Teams are starting to dump their race sleds now. Some still crated! Team I bought mine from called me, there's just hit Craigs. Stupid three gallon tank and ugly headlight tho.... You're setting are off. You should bottom every so often if they are set correctly. There's no adjustment on the center shock on X packages, there's only a clicker for the rear shock.
