setting a sled up for a woman

[MOMMA DRINK]

Today I really really sucked when I was trying to donut my 08 M8. It's a new to me sled so I'm still figuring things out. After me landing on my face few times my friend checked out my sled. He said that my shocks were set up for a 400lb man not me.
What are some other suggestions you have to set my sled up for me.
I'm 5'9 and about 140lbs.


Thank you!!

There are no real set rules for setting a sled up for a woman.
They are pretty much the exact same as setting a sled up for a man.

You should be able to get the setting for your shocks from your dealer (or you can put up a question of shock settings in cat section).

Oh ok Ollie! thanks! I'll check out the shock settings. I also have a riser to install (thank you Boo!)! and maybe a 2 wheel kit.

THERE IS NO STANDARD OR CHART..ITSA MATTER OF PREFERENCE. IM GUESSING YOUR FRONTS ARE TO TIGHT...YOUR MIDDLE TO TIGHT AND YOUR REAR NEEDS AIR LET OUT.

I didn't really do a lot to set up my wifes M6. I left the shocks alone, installed a 3" riser and two wheel kit. She said today she really notice how the two wheel let her roll the sled over. I would just start with simple stuff first. I am thinking a 4" riser for her would be better. She is 5' 8" at 130 lbs.

thank you so much msled! The riser we're putting on is a 3"! Good to know! I appreciate hearing the little things that make it easier for your wife!

i'm gonna ask a stupid question so please don't be affended.

Do you know how to figure out how much of a riser you need?

One of the biggest mistakes people make is to put too much riser on.

Very good question. We do it through trial & error. If you would like the formula, please see the word "Thera". You will find it in the Latin Alphabet, it will explain the forces of mass.
