• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Shock Setting Advice

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!
 
shocks

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
 
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:
