I think someone already asked this question, but now I can't find it. I am looking for the proper air pressure for the front and rear Fox Floats. I am riding an '09 M8 162" and I am 245lbs. If anyone has a similar set up I would appreciate the help. I believe Cat changed their minds several different times last year on the proper air pressure.

"Proper" air pressure is what ever works best for you. I weigh 245 also and run the fronts at 90-92 and the rear at 125-130.
Ditto.
Go play with the pressure & see what feels good.
How I set up a sled is this.
get on the sled, then you or buddy add or subtract air till you have about 1" of sag all the way around when you step on gently (you may need to bounce around a bit to get rid of stiction.)
EVERY shock/sled seems to be slightly different, buddies that weight more than me run less & lighter guys run more, it all depends on you, no magic numbers.
I have to agree with these guys go out and ride and adjust accordingly. Different people like different kinds of rides.
If there is anything else I can help you with let me know.

I appreciate the input. I will mess with it this year. I am new to this so I am just trying to get things dialed in.
It's definetely something you have to try for yourself. Like was said before, some guys like stiffer suspension and some don't. That's why they're adjustable.
I can't remember off the top of my head what's in the fronts, but I run 135 in the rear and I'm 6'2" 155 lbs. On my 1000 I have an MBRP can and run the clutch side 5 lbs more than the exahust side. Some dealers set them really hard on pre-delivery, so beware of that.
