I went half way on all the clickers and that was way way too much. I am now at 4 clicks from full soft and may go down another click or two.

Still not there yet but much much closer Nothing more annoying than a setup that doesn't feel right....and not trying to jump in but the very first thing you want to make sure is right is the ride in sag measurement. Should have some static sag per the book, and then with geared rider should be within another spec range. If they don't fall within the ranges with stock springs, might have to re spring. The ones we rode at that Polaris ride a few years ago, were dialed in pretty awesome, but we had a factory guy setting them up for each of us before we even rode it.

Those WE's have a tendency to fade hard the first year if worked hard so you may find yourself up-clicking a few times throughout the winter.

I set the ride in right away and put the rest of the preload to what the manual suggested. I may crank the rear spring up just a bit as I didnt do it with gear on and the extra snow and ice while riding make a difference too.

I dont mind stiffer up front and these front work well.....the rear I like to ride soft and soak shit up as I have a bad back and hate jarring rides.

I've had to re spring both my cat and my freeride to get it right. Not for nothing, but I like my SKS just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sprung very soft which I like but the stupid walkers get crazy stiff fast when you start clicking them up which I found out. The combo off low spring rate and high comp dampening makes for a harsh ride and I didnt like that one bit. The r-motion of analers that I rode was like butter....It was so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great sled, I just hate the tight footwells, cuz they've already dragged me down the trail twice. Its not a tail stander wheelie machine at all, which was the first thing I noticed about it. But I've also never ridden a sled that gets up on top of the snow the way this thing does either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off of the rmotion it was quite noticable. If that is fixable I would have no problem buying one. Any vibration in the handle bars and footwells ? The one I rode for the 20 minutes was too much for my hands and feet. I had to get back on my 4 stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It vibrates bad at very low rpms but smooths right out when you get the r's up .....it does shake like a fucking big twin when idling which I dont care for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of 2 clubs in N wi that have had to spend the day getting groomers out of the muck . I want to get out but no place worth going not 7 hrs away .
