Big boy 18’ ltx le settings please

[Rtbo]

So

basically the total opposite way as stock setting with spring? Sorry this is all new to me

Yes I needed a bigger spring, it was chewing up my shock pretty bad with it that tight and wasn’t acting like I think it should (hard to explain)

 

[Ndoggct]

Maxed out? you need to be more clear, are you talking springs?

Sorry rtbo stated his center spring was maxed out, that’s my question I have is maxing it out squeezing the spring closer together?

 

[Rtbo]

Sorry rtbo stayed his center spring was maxed out, that’s my question I am heading that is squeezing the spring closer together?

Yes

 

[Ndoggct]

I’m thinking I will end up just have to take somewhere to help me set this up
Thank you guys for your help

So basically the rear rebound damper isn’t the hand knob like the fronts then?

the 3 positions is compression not rebound.

 

[Ndoggct]

the 3 positions is compression not rebound.

Yes I was ? That rebound damper that I. Oils to find for the rear
On the front I was able to click by hand that was toward bottom of shock
I can’t find these on the rears at all

No it does not have the small red knob like the fronts, it’s on the top near the track on the eyelet of the shock, small hex head with a notch( adjust it with a dime, not room for a screwdriver)

And the center does not have rebound.. might be best to have him take it to someone that knows. Im done helping.

Settings for Sidewinder LTX LE:

Front suspension:

springs all the way loose… just tight enough to contain the spring in place with ski’s off the ground

Compression dampening= 1

Rebound dampening= turn left until it stops, then 8 clicks right (15 clicks is center)


Center/rear spring;

tighten spring until 3/4” of threads show between retainer nut and top of shock

Compression dampening=1

no rebound on center shock


Rear Shock:

torsion spring = 2

Compression dampening = 1

Rebound dampening= turn left until it stops, then 8 clicks right


Coupler blocks removed.

When you say torsion spring on 2 for rear what exactly does that mean? There is only a clicker for compression and the top damper adjuster that I can see?
Ok yes I won’t ask any more questions
Thank you for your time

It’s the plastic adjuster to change your rear spring pressure
