Evol RC2 Shock settings

[Yamadog]

Anybody with good data on air pressures in these yet. I have been working too much for any real seat time and still am running the factory pressures in both teh shock and evol tube.

I am all over the place with the settings on my XTX I have let 30 lbs out of the rear fox and am at 120 # and going down more and taking a turn out of the front skid shock.

What are your issues? The Evol pressure is basically for big bumps and I don't think you need to do much on that end. The main is more for ride quality in conjunction with your clickers. Too much ski pressure? Too much roll? feel too stiff in the handle bars? there was a nice you tube video on here a few days ago that explained what each part was for in regards to setting them up.

U coming out tomorrow? If so we could play around with it and test it out on the bumps and jumps in the yard

There is a sticky with a couple videos explaining these.

Hope that helps a little. I think most is to start at the presets and adjust accordingly.

Yes I watched them and understand all of that but you have pressures in 2 tubes then clickers for stutter and large bumps and then bound/rebound just wondering where others are setting up at.

Maybe you should just put some ride FX shocks on that Viper.

I ran 150 miles yesterday on some really rough trails...I'm running 150 psi in the EVOL chamber and 50 psi in the main chamber...all other settings are whatever they were set at, at the factory. Rode pretty well but I never adjusted anything to see if it could be improved. That sled is a freakin blast to ride though!!

Dog, I have yet to get on mine, but if they are anything like the float x I had on my nytro, the. Run a bit less pressure in the main. I had the rebound 8 clicks out soft and 10'cljcks out soft on the dampening. Looking forward to the rc2. Hoping to get a couple hundred miles in. I will give a heads up what worked best.

Thanks 2 blue and Jedwarsd that was what I WAS LOOKING FOR the shocks came with 200 in the evol and I think 100 in the main tube as a starting point and I felt like it was a bit on the stiffy side. I have made changes tonight and will try tomorrow.

I know on my Pro Rs the shock guide that came for the rear spring had rider weight on it and I must weigh 125 lbs instead of 190 cause that is where it is rideable.
