It may be mentioned somewhere on here, but just wondering if Anyone has suspension set up tops for my 03 rx1 with ice ripper track. Fr front suspension preload to the rear shock, adjuster bolt/nut and control rods. I weigh 215lb with gear and ride mostly trails. I would like a setup that promotes good trail handling. I do not care for a setup that encourages wheelies and catwalks. Thanks in advance

I've actually watched that video a couple of times. Very informative, but was just curious as to what everyone is running these days, as that video seems a bit dated

well, on the proactions we still run, the front skid spring is set so that it is stiff to rotate with one hand with the rear of the sled supported on a track stand clear of the ground. then i usually set the fra to soft and adjust the spring on the rear shock to get a roughly 60/40 gap (top/bottom) with my weight in riding position or at least some one to check the gaps with the track on the ground.
i am a rider who tends to like my skis on the ground and this is the set-up that works for me anyways. basically the set-up i used to run on my old 05 rx war.
