Suspension help

[Jruggs73]

Hi everyone-Now that I have the 17 LTX SE in the shop can anyone give me a good starting point for my suspension set up? I am 195 lbs with no gear on. Just curious on shock spring length and where the rebound/compression knobs should be to start off. I have to run the tuner skis for now until I have time to switch skis. I also have read mixed reviews on the goggle bag. Guys that use them does it block off the heat escaping and does the bag function? Thanks everyone for the advice!

185lbs here, my RTX is still stock setup....first sled I think ever that I have not had to change anything on setup. Surprised me.

I just left it all full soft.

Front coils have 3-3/4" above collar. Have not measured center coil yet but its stock. Looks to be very small number of threads above collar.

Thanks Dan! Does your RTX have the same shocks as the LTX? I don't have the Q3 models just the Fox 1.5's I believe.

Unfortunately the SE has the lesser shocks....Prob fine for decent groomed trails but when things get beat up the qs3r shocks are simply a pleasure....

As far as ride setup, you should fall into same areas, just those shocks wont have the pounding ability.
