I'm confused and um pissed frankly . Went out last weekend to the only place with snow in N.E. we had ripple/stutter bumps . My wifes phazer 00 with an XTC rear suspension road better not a little a ton better than my 05 Vector . My sled beat me up . bumps here are 4-8 inches and i can tell you how many are in each corner even in the dark cause i feel every one of them .
last year I removed the bottom stoppers and that helped with the horendous rebound kick in bigger holes. i do not bottom out except in huge holes with cams set at medium. I tried putting them to soft . That got me a little qiuicker bottoming but no help in stutter bumps, so i moved them back.
Which way do i adjust transfer nuts for better ride there is a red line that it says not to exceed , if i put it there does that give a soft ride or harsh? Or should i go totaly the other way so no lines show . I had it so no lines show at all but i'm not sure if that's what you do for soft ride????
handling is fine not tippy for me at all front shocks set to soft side of adjustment range . Center shock i'm not sure i tried to get a calaper in there to check but can't fit it in , do you have to pull the shock to measure it?? . I'm 165lb and very dissapointed that i spent 8k and her 3700$ when new Phazer rides better.
The magazines said this suspension was a huge improvement for yamaha , I say they lied My vmax rode better. the front suspension though does seem better , it tracks very straight and I can feel it suck up the bumps . In the back it seems like there is no suspension and the seat is the only thing cushoning my back
. Again it does not bottom it feels more like it doesn't move at all unless pounded through big whoops. if i have 11" of travel then I should be able to set it so when you hit 4-6" bumps the suspension moves 4-6" inches and you barely feel them .
Can somebody please tell me how to do that?? dealer said you have to break it in well i've got over 1100 miles how much longer do i need to wait .
Side note my hyfax are fine plenty of wear left and all we've had to ride in is snirt or solid ice , yes my inside plastic wheels are all deformed and the track noise is unbelievable .
