Trying to get rear suspension setup on this sled. I recently replaced all bushings and greased the skid, replacing any seized rods. I'm not tiny/not huge ~220 lbs. My wife weighs about 125, when either of us sits on the sled it almost bottoms out. I've adjusted the spring seat on the rear shock to lenghten the preload (shorten the spring), making it stiffer. The rear limiter strap is at full length. Looking at Yamaha's specs, the spring seat lenght is longer that the "max" setting for the shocks (I believe they are stock KYB's). The shock appeared to be fine, no leaks, it does dampen...am I doing something wrong, is there another adjustment to make, will making the spring seat like this cause any issues with the suspension?
