Process of starter replacement>>sway bar removal

[fxnytro1050]

Just removed the GD starter motor, in process of putting everything back together. My question is should I remove the sway bar while I have the chance.
I am a 80% off trail rider so it doesn't bother me so much if trail riding isn't so comfortable.
I like boondocking, hill climbing, drops, etc, whatevers possible to a certain degree I guess lol

Based on what you ride I would say yes.

I run without one.

Any problems? what about the shocks, I have the stock gytr. If the sway bar is removed then would that put more strain on one shock at times?

I have not run a sway bar in about 7 years and I have never damaged a shock. It allows each side to work independently from the other. The only negative effect that I am aware of is the sled will not corner as flat as it would with the sway bar, which means nothing when you are off trail. I run a little more pre-load on the front shocks then normal and the sled performs fine on trail. I've never been left behind on the trails running without it.

It's the first thing I do when I get a sled, take that useless bar off. (Trail riders disregard that comment you may find use for yours.)

K man, thanks.
I had my preload as loose as possible, ill turn them tighter about 5-6 turns. I think that should do it.

I'm not sure where the stock preload setting is for those shox but it's usually somewhere in the middle. I would start there. If you feel a lot of body roll in a corner, add some preload.
