what can be done to tighten up the suspension ? ( especially the front)
When going real fast it leans over too much in corners.
Stiffer shocks, springs etc? I do have a winch and a brush guard as well as a front rack

I am thinking about going to a 14" wheel with 27 inch tire but I am concerned about a higher center of gravity and not having enough tire for severe impacts

any thoughts on how to make this big pig handle better?

Thanks for the help

 

Sring rubbers help alot. Polaris sells them or you can get them at a local autoparts store and put them in and wind them upto the top of the progression. it will stiffin the upper part of the spring while keeping the over ride close to the same

 

thedon alot of guys use 1" to 2" front spring spacers, any galvanized pipe that will fit over the shocks will do. other guys use different springs, this was the first thing i noticed when i got my ride. you can do a custom search or wait for others to reply with more info. I've held off for now, because i like the plushy ride, and adjusted my speed in the corners, i did dail up the rear springs, to bad you can't do that to the front.

 

a new set of Front struts specificly designed for a sport application will cure your diveing on hard breaking and roll in corners without adding uneccisary stiffness to the plush ride.

a set of long travel Struts for a srambler, i belive 95-06 should do the trick. on Polaris' accessory site, www.purepolaris.com, they have Fox Shox struts available, or Works struts are fantastic aswell.

GE4x4 used this combination for GNCC races and he said it was a vast improvement.

 

The 800 already has the long travel struts. I would put a 1 1/2" sprig spacer in it. I know af a place that has Aluminum ones for a decent price. Pm me if you want to know.

 

thedon.....

Check out these springs from EPI.......

you dont understand, im not suggesting to upgrade to long travel struts, the sportsman and the scrambler use the same struts, im suggesting to get better ones. spring spacers arnt going to help you at all, or messing with the stock struts. you need better high performance struts to cure the problem.

 

That's what I was thinking......A spacer isn't gonna change the spring rating......The front will obviously ride higher but you'll still get the dipping in the corners.......That's why I suggested the EPI's.......

Man the sportsman is not for racing.

 

neither is the BRP800, but they do it anyway
