Pro rear skid adjustment question

[ndmtnsledder]

I'm new to the Polaris and the answer to this is probably right in front of me but I'm missing it. I have a 2013 Pro RMK 800 I'm around 280# ready to ride so I have the rear spring tightened to 10" like the book says. As far as ride and bottoming its pretty good and I plan to have the shocks revalved and probably zbroz springs for next year. What I would like to do is transfer a little more weight forward. On the cats I was used to you just tightened up the limiter strap and or back off the front shock. If I'm reading the Polaris book right its saying back off the rear spring but then I'm back to bottoming. I don't see any holes in the limiter strap which is fixable but wasn't sure if I should. Thanks for any help.

Don't back off the rear spring tighten it too 9 3/4- 9 1/2 and you will get less transfer

If I were you I would order the heavier rear shock spring.

Second that, your basically running out of adjustment with the stock spring.

Have you tried tightening the front skid shock? You can put the Holz adjustable limiter strap on there, some guys have had good luck doing that....I never understood why they took away the adjustable limiter. Anyone?

Thanks that makes a lot more sense. I'll have to reread the book I bet I misread it. Yeah I figured I was at the max of the spring but I can get by tell I redo the suspension this summer. Can a guy drill a new hole in the limiter strap that shortens it up like on the cats.

Ive done that to all my sleds in the past to get a hole i prefered. (dont read more into that than it is please) Not sure if the poo strap is long enough though.

Get the heavier rear spring, Im about the same weight and its a must do.

Yes all my other sleds we mess with the limiter, but on the pro suspention we dont touch it, it is no longer a suspention adjustment point. Do the spring and maybe a revalve, thats it.
