Checking Suspension - NEW

Checking Your Suspension - PLEASE do before you send your shocks to us
 
 
This helps us dial in and troubleshoot existing issues with your suspension.   We don't actually "set" the sag like a dirt bike, Sag gives us good information on shock length for the link, spring preload and spring rate, combined with ride hieght.
 
 
 

Checking ATV Setup – JET Suspension

 

  1. Check Sag – This gives us a good bench mark of spring, shock length and preload for that particular link.

This takes 2 people – Take a tape measure and measure behind the rear tire from the axle to some point straight up on maybe a plastic mounting bolt – WHILE the rider lifts up on the rear grab bar until the rear tires are off the ground (shock is fully extended).  The shock must be fully extended!!  - remember this measurement.

Now keep the tape measure right there and the rider can let the rear down then stand on the foot pegs while holding the handlebars – this gives a neutral position to measure.  The difference between the first measurement and now is the SAG.

 

SAG = _______________

  1. Ride Height –

With the rider standing on the pegs NOT SITTING, measure from the ground to the bottom of the frame in 2 places (under foot pegs and under the radiator.

 

Front = _______________    Rear = ________________

  1. Rear Shock rebound – NEVER bottom the rebound adjuster hard and you never want to run the adjuster all the way hard!  Act there is an egg in there!

Are you able to pull the rear tires just off the ground when you push down then pull quickly up on the rear grab bar (without extended the rear shock all the way).  The point of this is to have the rear tires fall away from you when you pull up quickly.  This is kind of an art, but you do it enough, you’ll get the feel.  If so, how far do the rear tires come off the ground (i.e. ½”, 1” or 2”)

 

Rear Tires off?______________    How far roughly?_________

Where is the rebound adjuster from all the way hard?___________
