Building a collection one sled at a time
Anyone using the spring tension relocating bar for their Winders? I haven't had ANY trail time on this sled since I bought it in November ( '19 SRX) but one thing I noticed is there's not a lot of sit in when I am on the seat. I read that the spring tension bar takes preload off them by lowering the mount which I think I may need to try. I'm no lightweight by any means,225 before riding gear, but if the suspension won't allow for enough sit in,or what the generally agreed amount is ( a couple inches or so?), it'll be hard to get a smooth ride from the sled won't it?
Also,and I know this will be a loaded question too, what's everyone using for a good all around front suspension setting? I realize everyone won't be the same but there must be a decent starting point besides how the springs were set from the factory. This sled has the IQS so damping is done via the computer.

Hoping to get out soon but the lack of snow in my area is not helping matters. Traveling to the snow was my intention this weekend but a change in our Covid designation has made that possibility almost out of reach. Have to wait and see.

You’re trying to be an engineer when you need to be a rider. You’ll be fine as is.

Can't ride right now with the lack of snow so been watching videos and ran across some on suspension setup,which is where my question originated from.I wasn't sure if the traditional way to set up skid and front end sag applied to this chassis is all.

It’s diff because of the way they built the srx. It sits into its travel so it won’t rebound back out unless going into a dip, weight of sled holds it there.
