With the fox shocks how is the ride. Is it very stiff or is there some confort in the suspention. The reason i ask is i would like to get one of these in blue. I was at the dealer today and on an LTX SE when i pushed down on the front bumper it did not budge at all. Not even a quarter inch. If that is how stiff they are, it is not for me. And i am not to big on the black ones even though i would like a heated seat.

I got the LTX SE for the shocks and the color. I could always add the heated seat later. You can reduce the psi in the shocks by 5-10 and it will move.

Just soften up front shocks. Takes 2 minutes. I weigh 225 and am finding that with the suspension getting broke in that I will need to stiffen up my rear suspension. It's still on the softest setting. You will be able to find comfort in an se viper. Heated seat would be very nice to have tho for sure!

Finally got out on my LTX se yesterday. Got 120 miles on. I think the floats worked great. They soaked up everything I threw at it. The rear is still a little stiff but is getting better. So far I am impressed.

How much pressure are you running in the fronts ?Studroes144 said:

Checked my shocks when I got the sled and they were at 55 pounds. Drove it some knowing we wouldn't have any big bumps yet. It was very smooth but could tell it was soft. Put them up to 75 which I believe is ballpark what they would recommend. That is gonna be a little too stuff for my style of riding. Got them down to 70 pounds now gonna go for a good ride tomorrow night I think 65-70 pounds is gonna be about spot on for my weight and type of riding which is mainly just trail

Good info. I may try 80 see what happens. We run into a lot of bumpy trails. With my nytro I made mistake of running way too high and it was quite the work out
