Rear suspension and Sag

[Fridaysoff]

I have an 08 xp with a t-motion upgrade and was looking for feedback on the amount of sag that is acceptable without any rider weight .. It seems to drop about 2 -3 inches with just the weight of the tunnel .. The plastic spacers are set at 3 and the shock is tightened 4.5 turns from when the adjustment ring touches the spring ? Is this normal to ride low?

Is it sitting on dollies?

Did you also go with the longer front shock and longer limiter? If not, the shorter front shock and springs dont help out the rear springs as much and you will get more sag. I would ride it and see how it works, some sag is normal and beneficial.

I took it off dollies .. Figured that out right away . And it has. 2012 x package front suspension . Front shocks set at just under 3

I bought the sled with the upgrade done . Not sure if it has a longer front shock .. There are two springs on the front one and the guy I bought it from said the rear springs have been replaced with stiffer ones ..not sure it matters but I am also quite light .. 145 lbs without any gear .. Thanks for the feedback so far

It's a no brainer to turn the spring setting to number 5. Always with Skidoo the first inch or more is weak.
I have seen this before when some people get changing the rear suspension like doing the T motion instal. They over tighten the bolts which dosnt allow the suspension to hinge properly. This Is something to look into and can be the culprit for saggy bum
