09 d8 Suspension Settings

[El Gaucho]

First ride on my sled was at Silent Pass, good day except for the ride in & out.

Washboard was not enjoyable. My buddy and I swapped sleds and his only comment was about how rough of a ride mine was. I would have to agree with his observation.

The rear torsion spring is on the "minimum" setting, limiter strap had some slack sitting on the trail. I'm 210 lbs carrying a pack. The suspension was not bottoming out and varying speed didn't help.

Before I get carried away changing things I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this experience or if it's just me....and not the machine.

Regards.

i have the same troubles with mine heard alot of bad things about the walker shocks. tried all the settings all sucked. wonder if shocks on the assault are better but maybe to stiff
