You just might be the 1st person to complain about a rough ride on a 700xx. Is the pre-load set on the shocks all the way down or something?

Its the stock suspension. I'm 180 pounds and the stockers were just valved too stiff for me at low speeds yet when they start getting worked, they start bottoming out. I own a few IRS quads so I understand what you are talking about. I know you said you didn't want to spend anymore money but aftermarket shocks are the solution. The suspension is engineered brilliantly but the shocks were thrown together by the accountants.
As far as the throttle goes, efi makes it more responsive. Takes some getting used to but usually a responsive throttle is a good thing. Everyone's hand is different but they do make some thumb savers and alternative throttle. I even saw a trigger style throttle for your pointer finger that's positioned near the hand brake. |
What you are experiencing with the "touchy" throttle is fuel cut. When you fully release the throttle and then re-apply it causes the quad to lurch forward. Can be a handful in tight woods situations. Works best to not fully release the throttle. Fuel controllers help this by leaning out the bottom end of the fuel curve.
Stock shocks work for very few people. I bought a set of HLS non adjustable front shocks and had my rear shocks re sprung and re-valved by GT Thunder. Helped alot. I bought some Elkas so my old shocks will be for sale. |
anyone got any suggestions on how to take some of the touchyness out of the stock throttle on the 2009 700xx ? first ride today, highly disapointed w/ how rough the bike rode, and the throttle was way too touchy, no binding,and not hard. the angle its on seems bad, sticks out too far for me.---sugestions???---: don`t care for twist throttles on something that wants to wheely all the time either
