Susupension Setup

[jTrue]

Previous owner of my sled was a lot heavier then me. The suspension seems to really buck me pretty badly when going up over the top of cornices etc. Sled feels like it has plenty of power but then I get bucked and have to turn back downhill. Could be that my buddies are all on 2010 sleds, but I figure the suspension could be playing a part. Rider error may be having and effect as well . I'm 5' 10" 180 lbs. Anyone have some tips on how to setup my suspension? Thanks.

One more thing, just put a new track on 162" Camoplast Mountain Track, seems like it likes to spin a good amount before hooking up. I noticed it isn't aligned as well and one edge is rubbing a bit near the top bogey wheels. Could it be that my drivers weren't pressed on correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

check your shocks man!! I have a 2004 mountain cat with only 900 miles on it and I needed new shocks last year. I purchased the sled used before season (thank god i got a good deal) and all the shocks were junk. Arctic cat used ****ty non-rebuildable Ryde FX shocks on alot of their sleds in the yearly 2000's. I was getting all thrown around like I was riding a bull or something. I got sick of it so I replaced the rear suspension shocks halfway through the riding season and WOW did it make a difference. It was night and day.
