First ride on the Phazer

[STAIN]

First ride on the Phazer yesterday. I have an XTX and traded my RX1 for an 07 Phazer GT ( 1400 miles ) for my 12year old daughter--all updates done. Sled is a blast to ride on local trails, seems soft in the rear suspension though even with the blocks set on max. I can get the skid to bottom rather easily. I didn't get a manual with it though and don't what to do with the overload stoppers. Can I move them back? Remove them altogether? Has anyone put x-clicks in place of the stock spring adjusters?
I won't be putting the majority of miles on this sled but it would be nice to make a few adjustment if I wanted to take it for the day.

spring spacers from hygear suspensions makes a big difference

where were your feet on the running boards while you were riding it? I find my MTX fairly hard to bottom if I keep my 200# body centered over the fuel tank in bumpy stuff and the MTX has the weakest springs of all the Phazers. If I move back at all to get the sled "wheelie" over bumps is when mine starts to bottom easy. Its the rear arm that bottoms due to the shock linkage/cam setup on the rear skid, I think this suspension would work better if the shocks were NOT linked together.

I have the spacers on my XTX. I wonder about the overload bumpers on the rail and if I can move them back and forth.

I made my own spacers @ work, they do help to stiffen it up.

Neighbor rode my sled yesterday for about 6 miles and had to switch back to his Polaris IQ, said it was just to stiff of a ride for him and he had to stand up.
My blocks are set on medium, shocks re-valved for my weight with not alot of adjustment in them. I like it better than the feeling of a bottom out like his IQ had.
