VK Professional II EPS 2018 - trouble with suspension

[strune]

I got my new VK Professional II EPS and I am very happy with it. It feels a lot easier to drive than the older versions and it's also very god in loose snowconditions, even with the wider ski-stance-kit installed. The EPS makes it steer with ease too! =)

Even though there is one thing that I don't like about the new Viking, and that is when the track gets bumpy. The front suspension handles the bumpy track well, but the rear suspension doesn't seem to follow along. The rear suspension feels like a hard rubber-band throwing me upwards in these hard bumpy track sections, it's really uncomfortable.

The rear suspension block (Soft, medium and hard) was at the soft setting first, but I adjusted it to medium, which did the suspension a little better in these bumpy sections (but still not good). I have yet to try the hardest setting though. The front shock in the rear-suspension is at the softest setting.

Any suggestions anyone?

I found the out of the box setup on my 16 pro 2 the same as you where the rear suspension was less then the front.The setup I'm using is front limiter strap in longest setting no.1 position, front rear shock on hardest setting, the two rear springs on the M setting, rear stopper cam in no. 4 position,and I dropped the rear mounts into the bottom holes,

Thank you for sharing your experiences =)

so this helped a lot with the rear-suspension "jumping"? .. I am not sure what the rear stopper cam is?

here are some screen shots from my shop manual about the suspension setup, I setup mine as a balance between deep snow and soft trail ride. the stopper cam set the angle on the rear pivot arm, hope this a help

Thank you a lot! =)

Is there a place I can get the shop manual?

When you dropped the rear mounts into the bottom holes, did the Viking become more unstable?

by dropping to the bottom holes it made a world of difference in the deep snow, by having the limiter strap in the longest setting will make it lighter on the skis, (making it more unstable). I tried a couple of different setups before I fount the setup that I'm using and was a balance trail handling and deep snow operation, as for the shop manual I got it at my dealer

OK .. Thank you again!
