Polaris Rush weight gauge

[captddh]

Trying to set up a sled my son bought. I saw a you tube that showed a weight gauge that made it quick and ez. . Local dealer doesn't have one. No tool kit in the machine. Could anyone tell me how many inches from the end of the gauge to 190 lbs? He also has more ski lift in corners than he'd like so I'm thinking of loosening the front track shock preset a couple of rounds. Would that be a noticable amount?? Thanks for your help.

Never heard of a gauge.

Tape measure from the footboards to the ground. Have him sit on it. Should be no more than 4" of sag if setup correctly. The front track shock for his weight I would say run looser... keep 3 turns or so in it so the keeper at the top is not loose. Then have him ride it. It if is pushing add more tension to the rear spring until it is better.

Search online for a manual... Polaris may have one to download. Shows all the proper presets on the springs. Start there.

Good luck!

2011 Pro-R came with a weight gauge. It was wrong. Factory setting for rear track shock spring is 2.75 inches from cap to spring adjuster. Shock clicker set to 3 from soft. Given your sons weight, I suggest 3" on the spring, and 4 on the clicker. Hope this helps

Trying to set a machine up purely by weight is next to impossible and only a fraction of what you need to know. Go with 2" sage and adjust from there.

I have a 2017 Rush Axys. I weigh 200 lbs. set the springs on the softest setting, put the stop blocks to the #4 setting, pull your limiter strap up 1.5” and tighten your front ski springs about an inch, it will ride and handle like your on rails.

That will only work if your riding style and terrain are the same. Some people look at a driveway, a fence line, or maybe a drift as an obstacle and others prefer to view it as an opportunity.

So if your ten feet in the air on every "opportunity" you'll need way more than the softest setting on springs and probably a higher spring rate and/or shock re-valving. If the only time you ever see any daylight under your track it was purely by accident maybe soft settings would be the right thing.
