First ride out and I find my stock shock setting to be way to stiff! A lot of the reading I’ve done seems to say to take everything down all the way and go up from there. (Counterclockwise)
The only thing I didn’t adjust much was the preload, I loosened up the preload only about a millimeter or so. This may be where most of my stiff ride is coming from but I’m afraid to go too much softer on that due to losing ground clearance and while I’m down here in the south ground clearance is pretty important but I’m also having a tough time with a stiff ride when I get into the bumpy stuff. So tried to make adjustments with rebound, high compression and low compression but seem to have created more issues then I had to begin with and not knowing where to go from there. There does not seem to be much talk on adjusting the newer xxc Renegade models. I’ve read quite a bit of talk about the xtp Outlander but not sure that’s going to be anywhere close to where I want to be because the Renegade and Outlander are two different machines and have about eighty to a hundred pound weight difference.
My last two rides have been in tight Woody trails with roots holes and crevices. Some may say to take everything back to where it was new but I didn’t write anything down and so I can’t go back plus it wasn’t anywhere close to where I wanted to be anyway. I’m about a hundred and fifty pounds with gear, I would appreciate any help or Direction. Thanks
