New to quads - come from street bikes.
The first thing we do with bikes, as far as suspension setup, is to set the preload, then worry about the damping. Is there some rule of thumb for setting the preload? With bikes, we'd look for around 1-1.25" of preload - this is how much the bike "sags" when the rider is on it, compared to when there is no rider on the bike.
Next is the damping, compression and rebound. With *some* bikes, it was known that, out of the box, the compression and/or rebound settings were either way too soft or stiff, no matter what weight/skill rider was on it. Is this the case with the Z?
I'm 185 lbs in street clothes, if that helps at all. Running on MX tracks - beginner, but learning fast.
