G4 175" suspension setup?

[Merc63]

Can anyone lead me through the optimal suspension setup on a G4 175? Im 200lbs + gear.

Ive noticed the dealer/factory has the limiter strap as loose as it goes, while my 165" had it tight.

Just looking for tips or suggestions. Dave Norona?

What's optimal to you? Climbing like a billy goat with the skis down, hanging the hoops at will to roop around or somewhere in the middle but favouring one those styles?

I'd go ride the thing and see how it feels and go from there. Personally my goal with the long sleds is to have it play like a 163 but climb better. Tighten up center shock to reduce bottoming on trail whoops, go up to ~3 on the rear blocks and see from there if the limiter strap needs to go up a hole.

I agree with you, climb like a billy goat but still try to play like a 163. Ski lift, but not flipping over backwards.

Ride it first. I let the limiter out on my 174.

Like Casper says ride it first on stock, have had no need to change it...you are probably on 3 or four on front shocks and rear torsion

Limiter strap all the way loose normal Dave?

Why all the way out, don't you want it in so it won't cat walk up hill and keep skis down ?

Post a pic of what hole your strap is in.

I never said I let it all the way out , I don't suspect mercs is all the way out either.
