I have some physical disbillity issues and took a ride this last weekend that put me at whits end. I had to have a friend ride back to camp for me. The rocky road tore me up! I'm trying to see if there is a way to make the ride softer/better for rocky trails without selling. Any ideas that wont break the bank?

Thank you,

Maverick

Better suspension. I have ridden on elkas and fox floats, unreal how good they felt. They were on a 450r.

tire pressure is huge and or bigger front tires

 

[MadMav]

How much are these better suspensions?

What disabilties do you have ?
Differant mods effect differant parts of youre body. Sorry to ask but this would be helpful and keep you riding. After all if it any fun then give it up.
Me personnelly would like you to enjoy riding. :tup:

I have had six reconstructive knee surgeries and need total knee replacements in both legs, but my Dr's say the longer I can hang on the better. They say I'm too young for replacements(36 years old). Also have many other issues with my back, arms and hands. Numbness lately is creating issues now. All this related to my military service.

Shocks and you might look into the Houser pro bounce nerfs, maybe a desert seat.

Wow sorry to hear that, but you probably be better off with a utility quad. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the tips! Any ideas on some nice cheap shock replacements?

Been there. Have a 550XP and it is a Cadillac! And my RZR is too. But they are road/drove by other family members.

If I can't get this thing to work for me, I'm getting a RZR XP.

try out the can am commander they seem to do really well and can am's usually already have a REALLY nice suspension on them already

 

[MadMav]

Unfortunatly the Commander has a horrable suspension compaired to a RZR.

try loosening up the preload, the sag should be about 1/4 the shocks travel with you dressed to ride, cooler ect.

I hope that my stage 1 front Elkas and Wiigstyle rears work good. I have not tried since I have been waiting since 3/2 for my rears.

What model RZR do you have now? My cousin has a XP and it is sweet! Alot nicer than his Dads ranger. I was looking at the little 170cc for my 13 yr old daughter, but I read alot of bad reviews on them.

I have a '10 RZR LE Stealth Black. We love it. My son drives it mostly. I want an XP though.

I heard the 170s aren't that good either. The motors are chinese. Might as well get a cheaper china knock off.

Elka stage one up front, wiigstyle revalve rear shocks, precision shock and vibe clamps, houser pro bounce nerf bars will get it about as smooth as possible. Also if you dont mind body roll, take off the rear swaybar and run without it.

 

[700xxmaniac]

ds450 front shock. take the sway bar out and have wiig rebuild ur rear for aa soffter ride
