Hi guys new to the Maverick, just bought a base Mav last week. It is still at the dealer and I can honestly say I have never drove a Mav. I have bought an 800 or 1000 Outlander every year since they have came out and love them. We have had a couple of Commanders on the farm as well, and can honestly say I never cared for them. Hated how they handled very rolly/tippy and top heavy. Never thought I would buy a sxs after driving them.... Then I drove my buddies 900xp, I was shocked how awesome that thing handled. Those things seem to sit so low and and low center of gravity and no rolling suspension it hammers tight corner like it's on rails. Never once felt like it was gonna roll.
So what does a guy need to do to get the most stability out of the Mav? I don't ride anywhere tight so I am thinking try some wheel spacers. If I don't like them I can take them off. What about suspension? I would be willing to give up a some ride to keep it from being rolly. I am guessing try some more pre load on the springs to start with? What about different shocks, is there something out there that has best of both worlds? Better ride through the bumps/whoops and more stability in the corners?
Thanks for any help
Mike
