Pro Action Suspension Adjustment Question

[CaptCaper]

I have 03's VMax's the one I usually take has a hitch for a dog sled and gps mount. But my question is "I'm a "big boy" 6'2" 250lb. and would like to set up this sled for my weight and riding. Being 58yrs. I want a nice ride but don't want it to bottom out and ruin anything. I notice in the manual there is adjustments I can make to both front and back shocks.

I believe there stock settings now. Should I leave them or change it to a "harder" setting? both front and back or just back? Etc. Etc.

Check the fra and see what setting it is n. If it is in the middle setting you can move it to the stiffer setting, thus making the whole skid geometry set for a heavier rider. Maxdlx

Thanks

Thats what I thought but wanted to hear it. I'll go a notch at a time. I haven't bottomed out but I haven't ridden it much either...

The FRA only has 3 settings. Just remember Up is Down, and Down is Up. In other words moving the FRA to the position closest to the ground will result in the heaviest setting.

If you start changing your actual spring preloads, make sure you know what effect it will have and move the other ones accordingly. If you simply move one without adjusting the others accordingly, the ride will rapidly degrade. There is quite a bit of suspension setup info in the tech pages, so rather than repeat it I will suggest you look there.

Once you get the proper set-in, make sure the control rod gap is equal on both sides with your typical riding weight on the sled.
