I am 195# semi-aggressive rider.
I mainly do mid to high speed woods riding. Very little to no motocross-type riding. A lot of rocks and roots in my routes.
I have my rear shock spring set to the tighest level and my dampener is set 1 turn out.
The front shocks are also set to the firmest setting.
My friend's rear shock spring is set midway; and second from the firmest on the front shocks. Granted, his quad rides more plush. Yet it does set lower and bottoms out occasionally in which I never do. He also weighs in at right under 200#.
The only other difference is that he has OE tires with 4psi, I have Holeshot HD's set at 5#. Also, my front end is A LOT more busy than his. This I blame on the 6-ply tire.
Thanks for any input!
