Default I adjusted the suspension with the 20/30 rule but 1 quuck question.

Ok, maybee this is how is suposed to be but it sits real stiff. When I lift the back to full extension it only relaxes like 1/2 with out me on it. When I get on it's 4"
the front seems WAY stiff also but it follows the 3" with me on it.. I was ad about 1/2 front and back before the changes but now it seems really stiff and it looks SO tall. I guess I have to ride it to tell but I think the ride got rougher from the extra spring tension. is it supposed to be this tight? I weigh 240.

Thanks for being patient with me....

I weigh 255 and you are correct. there isn't much left in the way of static (without you on it) sag in the rear. Mine is about 0" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I believe that we (those who are over 220 lbs) need a new (read stiffer) rear spring. Where to get one? I don't know (yet).

You have done the adjustments correctly.
Don't forget to adjust the toe angle with YOU on the ATV. (It could be kinda squirly if you don't)
