When I accelerate or go over bumps with my 650 my suspension sags a lot. I am a big guy (275 lbs) and I am not happy with the clearance that I am losing. Does anyone know if an aftermarket shock setup would help. Does anyone make different shocks or springs for the Arctic Cat 650? I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,

 

have you tried adjusting your shocks? They are usually set very soft from the factory. This may help your sagging problem.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

When you adjust the shocks, make sure you either wet the ajustment collar with water or maybe wd 40 to make it turn easier. Also, hold the adjustment tool so that you are distributing the force across the whole handle and not just the end, or you'll break it. I just wrap my entire fist around the length of the handle, squeezing the whole thing.

Tightening them up will greatly reduce the sagging.

 

I have adjusted them as tight as they will go. I cannot stiffen them anymore. I think my only option is to go with stiffer springs or something.

Any ideas????

 

I think you can try some front springs! they may be stiffer,
I weigh about 180 & with the rear shocks on the middle setting, I can't hardly get
the springs to compress, ? go figure ?
