How to Set up Your Ski-Doo rMotion Rear Suspension

Learn how to set up your rMotion rear suspension correctly.
The rMotion rear suspension from Ski-Doo is the benchmark for comfort, capability and adjustability. While it performs extremely well right out of the box, making these two or three simple adjustments will ensure it performs its best for you and your riding style in nearly every condition.

Awesome! Now lets see the t-motion as well.

[@RocketNothing]

Very good guide! Always thought it strange those pro 40's on the skid have compression but no rebound adjustment.

[@TheSwePi]

This was awesome! Thanks so much, can finally really enjoy my renegade :)

[@stevestickler8961]

Great video! Thanks Ski Doo

[@whitepinehost]

Nicely done Steve. Happy New Year. I picked up a 2021 Renegade 900T. Very nice.

[@demendet]

Finally. i have been waiting for this video

[@thomaslang5709]

Great video

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

My '13 Renegade with 1100 miles sags back down a bit just with it's own weight after I lift up on it, does this mean I need to stiffen it first or should i take my pre-measurement anyways?

[@reedminer8448]

Do I need to remove skid to adjust torsion springs if I do not have the quick adjust on an 2018 XRS?

[@Captndarty]

How come there was hardly ever any emphasis or information on front end SAG? I’ve heard 20% of the front shock travel, would you agree?

[@rossmackenzie7993]

? I think you missed the part where you tell us about the center spring?

[@spyder3777]

Great video, but it would be nice to see how to adjust the centre shock spring and why. Thanks

[@skidoo]

Stay tuned in the fall, Mark!

[@spyder3777]

Ok I will, also is there an upgrade RAS 2 you can purchase for 2013 Renegade X 800?

[@MySin13]

Great video, however, it would be nice to see a same video for t-motion. Thanks in advance;)

[@BC-jw3en]

it's been 2 years by my calendar !

[@charliepalmer2465]

What do I need to adjust if I am bottoming out a lot? I am riding the 2015 Ski Doo Renegade Adrenaline 900 Ace. Please give as much detail as possible as I am new at Turing suspension but want to learn more...

[@skidoo]

Give a call to your dealer, Charlie.

[@Upracefan]

No mention of center spring preload?

[@christophergeary2855]

Can you do a video on C-Motion? That would be really great. This was helpful for my dads 2021 MXZ XRS. Would be helpful for my 2021 Backcountry XRS 146. Please and thank you!

[@skidoo]

Thanks for the comment. We'll see what we can do!

[@PureFootage]

Hey guys I have a 2014 xrs 800 and I find the suspension very rough I had the dial down on 1 and I still find it very stiff and feel every bump small or big however it does only have 200km on it but should I turn it up to make it smoother? Help!

[@RocketNothing]

There's no reason they wont ride smooth out the box if set up right. Hard to say what you're doing wrong from such a vague description. Which dial have you got on 1? The rear spring preload, the rear shock compression or the 5 position block for the rear spring preload? There's also centre spring preload and centre shock compression adjustments. I know the XRS has hard suspension because it's the racing setup but with everything on the skid set to softest it should be soft enough that you're bottoming it out. I think you're missing something somewhere

[@michellatour150]

As with measuring the sag and setting the spring preload on a dirt bike, the rider should be in full riding gear (boots, helmet etc.) as the extra weight will alter the height. Half full tank of gas as well to average the 'as-running' actual weight.

[@jacobschmitz8574]

Can you do this for the CMOTION

[@skidoo]

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll see what we can get done for you!

[@eskimocheeks9911]

My suspension sags soo much and I'm worried somethings wrong. The skidoo sits low to the point where I'm worried that my tracks is going to scrape against the tunnel and that the mudflap is too close to the ground when I sit on it. Anybody know what's wrong? Is this a common problem? I have a 2013 skidoo renegade backcountry x 600.

[@gblanc1100]

J'aimerais se soit en Français .

[@tdelam]

lol

[@user-bj8dt2gp8y]

Yes its, easy to adjust a new skidoo,when there is adjustment knobs, right in front off youanybody can do that...
