The upside down shock on a x3 allows you to have a windshield wash tank

I ride desert a lot. was out in Ocotillo Wells and Superstation over Thanksgiving weekend in my Turbo R4 Ultimate (stock). I felt it handled everything exceptionally well EXCEPT the chatter bumps which were downright painful and get worse every year. If I go in for springs and valving, would that smooth out the chatter bumps without compromising anything else?

Absolutely. The spring are a great help but the internals are where your chatter bumps will get fixed. Huge differences

Can you change or adjust the difference in feel , amount of change , on smart shox from comfort to sport + settings? Like maybe enlargement of size of port in piston that controls "smart" variability ... or change the oil viscosity to a thinner fluid to achieve similar effects and then adjust valving to compensate for lower viscosity fluid?

No. That would be in the algorithm. What we can change is the overall ride quality but not the amount of difference between soft medium and stiff

What has been your experience with the SHOWA shocks that are on the base model X3's? Is it worth saving the money or does it make sense to spend a few thousand and buy a model with FOX?

@ShockTherapyllc 6 ай бұрын

They are actually built well and ride good. But the fox bypass really are much nicer

Why don’t you make you limit straps out of Dyneema or UHMWPE, so they don’t stretch and wear out.

@ShockTherapyllc 6 ай бұрын

They need elasticity so the stop is gradual.

Do you guys sell Rear limit straps for a Polaris Turbo R? I’m not seeing them on the website.

@ShockTherapyllc 6 ай бұрын

None for the rear yet due to clearance problem with cooling lines. Designing cooling line gaurds now for it to work very soon

Have your dual rate springs on a KRX. I don’t know the technical name but the bottom shock body tube cap(?) pop out. Springs are clocked. Any ideas what might be causing this? Wear on shock body seems normal, I don’t think the springs are binding on the body

@ShockTherapyllc 6 ай бұрын

Bottom dust cap can pop off. It’s just tapped into place. Lots of reasons for it happening. Sometimes the press fit is a bit loose. Put a little red lock tight on the outside edge when you tap it back in place. It will not come off again assuming it’s not damaged.
