Hey BajaX04,

What do you considder to be the light weight catagory ?
I softened up my springs about 1/2 way from factory but could still go softer ... at sub 200 lbs do you think I should go all the way to Zero ?

The reason I ask is when the dunes get good and tore up I can still feel the ruts dips and bumps...

I think setting them to Zero would work better ? at least in the front ?

Where is the cut off point ?

I think its kind of interesting to see lighter guys riding these big quads ? ... just makes em faster [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I would think under 200 pounds is considered lightweight group next to alot of these big riders. You can try zero in the front and get a feel fo it. I think its great there. In the rear it can get very ugly. Its hard to find that "spot". But I am not saying dont touch it, because you NEED to. I went too soft on the rear and when you come down a dune to the flats it would bottom the shock hard and nearly sent me flyin. So I put more spring in it and found that spot. I also adjusted the rear valve soft / fast. I dont jump this thing much anymore so my setup is for ride not jump. You just wont find a better ride than a DS.
