Has anyone had trouble with the rear end sagging, setting low, on their warrior?
I already replaced the non-rebuildable(sp) shock and it didn't make a difference; no, I'm not heavier either :exc:.
Any suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

The bushings are likely all whacked out of it if you haven't been through the skid yet. That and some of the pivots are probably gummed up. If you don't do it already, you need to go through the whole rear suspension every other season in the Least, greasing alone is not enough.
Sorry if you already do all that stuff, just wanted to make sure.

the spring pre-load sets the height. Maybe its time to replace them.

Thanks for the feedback; we plan to go through the skids and chaincases this summer. I had the speedo end bearing go out this season and will replace other end this year.
I always took out the skids to grease on my older Yammies, they didn't have zerks; that's why I haven't taken them out to this point, thanks for the suggestion Crewchief47.
Which spring pre-loads are you referring to, Honk? I've got the rear shock set to the stiffest it will go.
I think we moved the FRA bolt when we put the replacement shock in the skid.
I'm very happy with the sled, to me these have been minor maintenance things, so far. Still does great on the trails and lakes though riding a little lower in the back.

What did you put in there for a replacement? OEM? New?
Maybe you got a used RX-1 shock. Maybe the springs are different. They are a different part number than the warrior.
Some of the older SRX shocks that are out there look close, but are a bit shorter.
Back to: Did you put in a new or used replacement?
