2021 sidewinder Ltx-se suspension set up

[ryan54911]

I have a 2021 sidewinder. This thing handles not to my liking and not like my 18 viper did. What are shock click adjustments. I'm 220 lbs and it has studs. Thanks

First thing I would do is move the rear suspension to the upper hole.it transforms the ride and handling. Less steering effort and lower C/G

What about front click adjustments on shocks. ??Have back blocks now on 2

Those are rebound adjustment I run them about 10-12 clicks out.. So turn them in tight and come out 10 clicks.. I'm not sure what's changed from 17 to 21 but I got tons of miles on mine and weigh 220 dressed. So if you want I can give you some shock spring measurements.. Like the front shock springs and the front suspension shock spring.. I do not run the stock spring in the front shock in the skid.. I run a dual rate bowling pin style spring.. My limiter straps are ALL the way out.. I have to look back on my posts on here on the brand of spring under the limiter straps, but it MADE a huge difference for me.. I run aluminum adjuster blocks in the back. # 3 setting

Personally I think you should be on #3 in the back. you want about 2-3 " of drop when sitting on sled

10 clicks out from hard on the top? What about bottom?

10 clicks out from hard on the top? What about bottom?

So the front shocks have a little knob on them.. Lower part of shock.. Turn the knob in or clockwise until tight.. Then slowly turn the knob out and count 10 clicks (both shocks) . you can feel it. Make sense?

2021 SE has only rebound adjustment on front shocks? Your running stock shocks?

Top and bottom

Top and bottom

Okay mine 17 do not have a top clicker. My bad.. The bottom is rebound adjustment. I dont have same shocks..

 

[jonlafon1]

I think it best to have someone post who has those shocks.. My bad

My 2020 LTX SE has only the one knob on the bottom of the shock I'm pretty sure the 21 are the same but I could be wrong. I would take all the pre load out of the front shocks springs. Put more pre load in your center shock spring, Definitely change your rear mount to the upper hole, that alone will make a big difference.

My '21 LTX SE only has the lower clicker for rebound. If you have an upper clicker for compression, you don't have stock shocks.

I usually start with all adjustments on the lowest and stiffen it to your preference. The rebound on fox shock impact low speed compression a little I ran mine at 3 from lowest setting for last season to suck up the studder bumps better. I'm 285lbs and have 1 1/4" threads showing under my center spring. Rear springs on setting two . I ride pretty aggressively but also replaced my shocks with fox racing with dsc over the summer.
