2008 Phazer suspension settings

[burlyviper]

I just purchased a 2008 Phazer RTX. It has fox floats on the front and rear. I've never had either a phazer or fox floats. Any suggestions on setting up the suspension for my 130 lb daughter? How much PSI to run in the front; rear and where should the limiter strap be set? We will be riding mostly trails and open fields.

Thanks.

You can probably start off around 45 or 50psi in the front. Rear springs probably on M or S (basically to hold the sled up with the rider on it) and then adjust the shock as needed to absorb bumps. The tighter the strap the heavier the front end will feel, steering will feel heavier as well, however I feel I have better control when its a bit tighter. Best to have her try it out and see where its at in my opinion.

My son runs the back at SOFT and the fronts on 50. Works well.
Also has 96 studs and dual carbides for better control than stock.

I too am running 50 PSI on the front Floats and using Stud Boy 6" Dually's. My sled handles awesome with this set up. G.B.

There are also other spring combos available if you can't lighten it enough, the RTX has the stiffest springs stock, GT softer, and MTX softest. The RTX rear clicker shock is notoriously stiff shock from the factory and could really use a revalve for a 130# rider.

I have fox floats on front and rear. Do I make this adjustment with the sled in air (no weight on skis)?

Yes. No weight on shock to get accurate psi.

Floats in both spots I the rear? Sounds like the Timbersled suspension kit. If so I'd probably start at 50 center and 110 rear. I replaced my center with a float and run ~60psi on that one, I'm right at 190# with all my gear on. Rear would be torsion springs if it's stock and a float won't work there.
