I have put a little over 1100 miles on my standard FX Nitro. I added slydog skis with studboy shaper bars. I have the sled corning pretty well, but the rear suspension has my confused. I have the front limiter strap pulled down to the 2nd hole from the bottom, the front skid shock has about 1/2 inch of threads showing, the rear shock I have the clicker at #4 from the softest and the springs on heavy. I am about 250 with gear on. The sled just doesnt seem to absorb any stutter bumps and then over the bigger moguls it bottoms out. I have had a couple friends that ride skidoo ask me how I can even ride this thing it is so stiff. My question after all that is has anyone figured this rear suspension out. I just dont get how it can ride so rough yet bottom out all the time. Any advice/help would be great.

loosen front track spring till no threads showing,,,,even then its a bit tight after pulling up two holes. The rear shock needs a little revalve but do spring first......add Ulmer coupling blocks also, helps a bit with bottoming.

I'm 250+ gear.. I have the front limiter set at hole number number three. The rear springs on hard. The rear shock compression on full hard back 4. The ski-shocks compression on 10 and rebound at 3 click from full out.. In the last few hundred miles it it working awesome in the stutters. Oh and my front spring is on what it got shipped with.. I think really depends on how far apart the stutters are and deep they are. I drove a new 800Xp.. and I didn't feel it took the bumps any better then my sled. I do feel like the sled overall is getting better and better the more the miles pile on with the exception of the front A-arm bushings/ball joints and maybe the bulkhead.
