Why do SPORT polaris' seem to squat in the back. Alot of them I see do this.

Mine does and I hate the look. Im a heavy guy tho.

Is there a stronger shock for the back.?

The ride feels fine while riding.

 

does not yours have an adjustment for shock stiffness, body weight................?

 

being a larger rider, if you have ridden that quad for some time, your shock is most likely starting to be worn out.

to change the stance to where you want, and improve the over all performance of the shock, you need to have it professionally rebuilt/revalved. they can change internal valving to accomodate larger riders.

look up CARVER PERFORMANCE. they have redone some of my friends fox shocks on their scramblers. and they are also larger riders, and they have nothing but good things to say after they got them back and remounted.

mines always been like that so im used to it, but other ppl who hop on my quad complain of a sore back when they get off. haha thats why ur suposed to stand up

 

i weigh 170 and mine rides great for me.........................ooooooooooooooooh squat! sounds sexual...!..........guess all machines are female right.............?

 

got that right

 

Polaris newbie here.
Anyone else think that maybe the front springs may be too stiff on the Scramblers/later model sport machines (using the same front springs)?

I ride trail. Have purchased a couple of used Scramblers (99 400 4x4/02 500 2x4) and coming off of 10 years worth of sport type Yammies, consider these Scramblers WAY too stiff in the front end. I'm not exactly a lightweight either (275lbs). Back ends seem fine.

Looking at installing late model ('05/'06) Sportsman front springs. Anyone been here before me? -Al

 

sportsman springs in genereal i thought were stiffer than any other polaris model atv spring. you might get with your local polaris dealer. they can tell you the # rating for each spring.

You need use a heavier spring. Valving only affects how the shock dampens and rebounds. You may want to have the shock valved after you get the correct spring - but first you have to start with getting the ride heigth right.
