XTX Rear suspension..Help

[upei93]

I am a big guy (280 lbs with gear) and I need help setting up my back suspension on my XTX. I have the front settled down but I am still bottoming bad. I plan on taking a closer look at new springs/shock revalving for next year but I need a stock set up to get me through the rest of the year. The problem is I am comming from a ZR 900 that had no clicker shocks so I have no experience with them and don't want to or have time to play with them because I want to ride. So do any of you heavier XTX riders have a set up that works for you? I need to do something or I'm going to ruin the few good disks that I have left. So far I have the rear springs set on hard and the front suspension shock is loosened up (1/2 inch of thread left) for less push in the corners and all my clickers and limiter straps are in the stock location. BTW I know that :exc: this would help but thats no fun!!!

Try making it stiff as possible by:

1 torsion springs on hardest setting
2 crank compression on rear shock all the way to the right to hardest setting.

I'm scared to do this because before I set the front spring the sled had almost no stearing and by just "cranking" things I'm scared I'll go back to not being sure I'll make the next corner. Altough if I don't get a set up that works from a big guy I might have no choice but to crank her up...

I am 6'6 250 and this is my current set up and the best to date for me!!

Front shocks:
2.25 gap (threads) from top
Rebound 16 clicks from 0
Comp. 10 clicks from 0

Rear susp.:

Front shock 1.35 inches of thread showing
Limiter straps stock

Rear shock 10 clicks from 0

Torsion spring one H second one at M

Transfer: .25 from fist line twards rear of sled.


The sled could use a tad more transfer but is pretty darn close to perfect for me, could be better but that would involve a complete re-tune, thats comming this summer.

This setup has minimum bottoming and seems to be the best yet its still too soft of valving for big bump hits but is good for trail riding.
