Exactly what I was going to say. Suspension is key. Everyone I've talked to that's done suspension, exhuast, tuners, etc says that suspension was the best money they ever spent.People don't understand that there is enough power stock to out drive the suspension as it is. Everyone wanting all this power but it don't mean shit if you can't control your car or put it to the ground. Suspension is definitely the first place you should start, then clutching, then power upgrades as you get more familiar with the bike. Just my $.02

It really needs to be done completely as a package for the desired best results. If you only can do one of the two, I'd go with the dual rate spring setup that Racer Tech sells. (that's where I'm starting on mine; they should be here any day now!I was going to send the shocks to CT racing and have alex do the valving for 200 does anyone have first hand knowledge if this is a good enough fix or do I need the whole thing at 1200?
Springs are not going to keep it from bucking. No spring package is going to stop that. That's way we don't offer the springs separately, yes it can make it plusher, yes it will be less likely to bottom but it doesn't remove the dangerous bucking that has totaled several machines. Valve it first and then do the springs if you'you're trying to split it up.It really needs to be done completely as a package for the desired best results.

The stock springs are crap, and the dual rates are supposed to make a tremendous improvement.
Yes, good advise Alex. The valving is definitely my next move. Just saving up the coin, and waiting for you to perfect the valving specs for the Max model. (assuming your are there with it now) What is your charge to do just the service and revalving for all 4 on the Max?Springs are not going to keep it from bucking.

With that being said your 4 seater will be much less prone to bucking but out west in the desert it will buck worse, ask Warlock
