Default Suspension ? for ya

Let me start by saying I can't afford to change anything.

I ride a 08 Summit Everest 154 with stock suspension and no sway bar. My question is since I am sitting down all the time, do to being paralyzed from the mid chest down, what would be your suggestions on shock adjustments for front, track front and rear, and why. I currently have the front set in the middle, the track front set loose and the rear set on 2. My limiter is 1 hole short of being all the way out. My goal is to make the sled carve smother from the seated position.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I think letting the limiter out to the last hole will be better. It will steer a little easier, it will roll up a little easier. And run the ski springs as soft as will work for your riding style.

what type of riding do you normally do that can change things big time
a good set up for powder and deep snow could fight you on the trail
setting the sled up for the trail though and you could be trenching and
stuck in the deep
great to hear your out enjoying your sled

I would start by following WB's suggestions....but then I suspect you are going to be mostly on your own to try a few different settings. I actually pondered your post since you put it up here, but I have to confess that even a lazy rider like myself (LOL) still stands up for any sort of manouvering. So basically, any suggestions I might have would probably be way off base in your situation. What kind of seating postion do you stay in? Ie: stretched back, butt at the rear of the seat, or skootched forward hugging the tank, knees on the plastic? That's going to make a big difference as well.

I have a harness that holds me to the seat with Velcro so I will come of if the sled rolls. I sit towards the back of the seat with my knees about 3" from the plastic and my seat has about 2" of rise to it.
