I need some advise from you who have properly adjusted your rear suspension on a Raptor. Mine is stock, and it seems like on whoops and bumps it really pitches me up a lot. I have riden on two other Banshee's that seem to absorb the small bumps and bigger dips with less body kick than my Raptor. On my bike, I need to stand up on the bumps, or get abused,... while the Banshee riders( both less and more than I weigh) ride on the seat all the time, with less body motion. The suspension just absorbs the bump.
I assumed the rear spring was set to stiff, so I adjusted it softer, by lengthening the spring about 1/2 to 3/4" ( and I have the fronts on softest setting)and reduced the compression damping by 2 clicks, and increased the rebound damping by 2 clicks. Oh yea, I'm 6'4" tall and 220 lbs. What direction should I go?
Any suggestions would be appriciated.

 

By taking preload out of the spring and decreasing the compression damping, its possible the shock is bottoming out. You might try going the other way on compression and rebound damping and see if that helps. I decreased the rebound damping on mine and it helped it get through the whoops smoother. Just my 2 cents.

 

yeah, definetly turn the rebound down.
