Thanks for the response!

I just got a "no ride" recall about the throttle today so it looks like I have some time to think about it.  The only "good" part about this is I have can the dealer soften them up for me and hope for the best. 

I have looked at Elka shocks too.  They are expensive which is okay as long as they make a decent improvement.  I would have high expectations which would likely lead to disappointment.

CForce 1000 / 2024 CForce 1000 suspension adjustment help
September 16, 2024, 09:54:24 PM
Hello everyone!

I have two 2024 1000 ATVs that are in dire need of suspension adjustments.

We ride on a trail system that has quite a bit of stutter/chatter bumps.  They are not very big at all - maybe 2-5" - high, but it is not pleasant to ride.  The machine rides great going 37+ as it skips over the top of them.  This is fine going straight but you cannot maintain 37+ the whole time.  It gets much worse as you slow down and 20mph is almost unbearable.  I can feel my muscles bouncing off my bones.  My dad usually pulls off the trail and drives down the gravel roads at this point.  Something needs to change.

Now, I know absolutely nothing about suspension.  It has the dampen adjustment on the top, rebound on the bottom, and then the spring adjustment.  I tried turning the dampening adjustment soft but it didn't do much.  Hell, I could have spun it the wrong way and put it hard.  Even then, there wasn't a noticeable difference.

There is no fear of bottoming out.  I just want the suspension to do as much as it can.  I weigh 160 lbs.

Any guidance would be appreciated.  Which way do I turn the dials for rebound and dampening?  I know they are labeled but like I said, I know nothing.  How should I adjust the suspension springs - screw them out?

Thank you,
Matt.
