Shock Setting Advice

[MMMII]

What should I have the dealers set the shocks at on my ST-S? I'm about 230 lbs.

I saw the thread that suggested 5 for front setting but didn't know if that applied also to the 2013s.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

I thought that the 2013 models no longer have adjustable front shocks. I do not know about the rears.

if it is anything like the previous models BRP has put out in the owners manual there is a chart by weight for the shocks to start with

They are not adjustable, as far as I can see.

No adjustments, and none should be needed with the new suspension setup. :2thumbs:

There is no adjustment and the springs are very weak, I installed 2010 RT shocks and the difference in handling was amazing. I almost didn't do it as I thought they were now shorter, the stock shocks were compressed over 1" from just the weight of the spyder. The rear shocks have a progressive spring rate and feel plenty firm.

No adjustment on the front springs:yikes:
This is a concern for me also.
We don't all weigh the same.
Front end geometry can control roll and dive but more weight will roll and dive more:banghead::banghead:

The rear suspension actually carries most of the payload...
They've set the front-end up so that it's less sensitive to inputs such as weight and weight transfer.
It's simpler for them, and simpler for us. :thumbup:
