Just got a 2012 Pro and have put about 500 miles on it. The problem i have is the ride up the trail is so rough im beat up by the time i get to the deep stuff! I have tried adjusting the suspension but can not get it to ride half as smooth as the Doo's or new M8. I have not heard of any ride problems with the pro so am thinking I have a bad shock! Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Sometimes the lighter they are the rougher they ride. Chassis just doesn't absorb shock as well. Thats my theory. Lol.

What is your rider weight? I adjusted my rear track shock to the specs as per the owners manual and it was a little better, but still had a bottoming/rough feeling to it - so I cranked the front track shock up a bit and now it is SWEET!! Probably the best weight transfer of any stock skid I have ever rode.

Shock preload is very very important on the pro's. Much more so than any other sled I have ridden to the point of it will ride like poop when two people of say 30 lb weight difference try the same sled. Play with it and the ride will improve greatly for the primary user. JMHO
If that does not get it to satisfaction get some zbroz. They are unreal!

Almost sounds like the shock may be lacking Nitrogen Pressure!?!? Also...make sure you keep your skid well greased

Mine is the same on the trail. That's my only real complaint with this sled. Planning on doing the KMod / Raptor conversion this summer. I'm closer to 240lbs geared up and on a beat up trail, it kicks my ass. I have the rear preload set as per the manual. Went some more, but I'm at the point where it'll coil bind it I go any further.
The thing is it works so damn well in the powder / on the hill...
