Thanks, I'll get back to you!

Well, I adjusted my front and rear stock shock preloads to setting 2, 3, and 4 (from softest).  I found that 4 gave the best compromise of ride quality and bottom resistance.  Also, the side benefit was added clearance (I was clearing baby head rocks I used to hear hitting my skid plate).

Downside is the RZR feels more tippy now.

In a straght line, I can go WAY faster now!  This will definitely hold me over till I feel I can Justify $2K fo SHOCKS!!!

Ranger Dale, thx for your imput.......I'll be looking for stiffer springs!

Hey all,

I ride quite  bit with a passenger and a little agressively.  My front AND rear stock shocks bottom often and wanted to play with the preload settings.

The manual says only to do that to carry a load.  Although my girlfriend is a real LOAD sometimes, I doubt the manual is talking about passengers.

Anyway,  Do any of you have shock preload settings you've found work really well.  My riding is mostly narrow washes and hardpack doubletrack.  Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know if there is an OEM or Aftermarket bumper replacement for the stock shocks?

My two front bottom out bumpers are gone and I need to either replace them or figure out if the whole shock needs to be replaced.  Thx

Is a clutch kit install fairly simple or do you need some specialty tools?  Would a service manual be necessary for that kinda work?

Hi All,  My RZR is stock except for A/M pipe/silencer, Uni-Filter, and planning on 14" wheels with larger tires.  I would plan on tying it all together with an EPI clutch kit and a fuel controller.

Question is: which fuel controller?  They all seem really similar and cost within $20 of each other.  Also, are they easy to program or is there a lot of trial and error?  I'm not looking for any headaches or money not well spent.

THX (Ranger Dale, this is where you step in and make it idiot proof for me!):)

Ranger Dale, outstanding info.  I really appreciate it.  I actually went and bought the fluids at my Polaris dealer before you posted.

I paid about $90 out the door for all the fluids and oil filter and grease.  Although I'm doing my 25 hour break in service, I decided to go all the way and do that service PLUS the replacement of all fluids.  Since I have the Uni-Filter, it just needs servicing, not replacement.  When I asked the Polaris service guy how much this service would have cost, he told me about $600.

I also adjusted the throttle cable and the shift cable/linkage.  Greased all the fittings (13 zerks total) and there you have it!  "How to save $510 in about 6 hours!

Hope my RZR appreciates it!
