Learning how to ride a 4 stroke

[Saddle sore]

I'm having a hard time learning to ride my first 4 Stroke ( 2017 King Cat ). Any advice for Me? I'm really struggling with keeping it on it's side. Feels like ether wants to dive in to the hill or some time's down the hill.

Not sure what your running for air pressure in the shocks but you might try,
Lowering the air pressure in the ski shocks
Increasing the pressure in the front skid shock
Lowering the air pressure in the rear skid shock.
A 5 psi change can make a big difference and I probably would start with the ski shocks or front skid shock first.

Not sure what you are running for a suspension setup. I just took delivery of a 2017 sidewinder mtn on sat. I PUT 110 km on during the start of the break in period. The sled was not set up for riding from the dealer and was like riding an RX1mtn. Sounds like you need to adjust your suspension setup like i did. I have my front shocks set at 85psi, the center shock ( small shock at the front of the skid ) set at a 5 mil pre load with no load on the skid and the rear shock at 135psi. When i got my sled the center shock pre load was maxed out, you couldnt make it any stiffer. I had to fight of roll the sled side to side. With gear I am 240lbs. Try changing the suspension. Move the spring stop on the front of the skid to about 1/2 way of the threads. Let us know how that works out.

Front shocks are now set at 85.
Rear skid shocks are maxed out. I’m a bigger guy so I need them to be.

Not sure how big of a guy you are, but takes a lot in order to need to max out the evol shocks. I went off of Toms charts to set my Viper up with Evol shocks, and fine tuned from there. Honestly didn’t need to change much.
