I just bought my 2016 XP Turbo, at the dealership I decided to have them add roof with all the bells and whistles while i was there. I can’t remember the name but Im sure most of you ill know the roof Im talking about.
Its fiber glass coated with rhino liner. It had three lights bars, 12 woofer, 4 6×9’s, cd player lights lights lights…. I could tell this was going to make this guy top heavy but it was cool and RTR so i went with it.
I ride 99% tight trails. My 2014 800s would handle them like a f’in rocket ship. i could come into a 90 degree burm full speed for the trail (40ish mph) turn the wheel full and floor it and it would grab and go..
For the new machine, not so much… I feel like this machine has a crazy amount of body roll..
long story short, I came in realllllll hot… somehow i ended up on my side sliding for 40 feet and the roof was ripped clear off and found it in the trees.
7k in damage later I pick it up this upcoming Wednesday.
Now for the questions.
Suspension settings, what are most trail riders using to stay flat in the turns? Id like to elimnate as much roll as possible. I WILL NOT BE PUTTING another roof like that on.
The wheel base is the same as the 800s but the turbo is much higher and the body is larger… it just doesn’t hook like the 800 did.
Any feedback on setting this guy up right would be much appreciated.
I figured maybe lowering it some and then what?? I don’t know enough about suspension settings to know if i need stiff or soft for what I am trying to do.
thanks for any help
