Accelerated Technologies- Snowmobile suspension tuning, setting the rear sag with the Motool Slacker

Setting the rear sag on any powersports vehicle is critical to ride comfort and handling. But, snowmobiles are unique in that they have a centre shock. No other vehicle has a centre support system that can cause a massive problem when it becomes dominant. By maintaining correct rear sag, we are able to 'stay off' the centre shock and it's related side effects. This will keep the sled comfortable and handling properly as snow, gear and passenger load changes.

This is very helpful. When setting the sag, should I not have my gas caddy or anything else on the back? Just curious if it should be like me riding the sled on the trail or just with nothing on it in the garage. Also, what tool did you use to adjust it so quickly and easily? Thanks.

Would it be too much trouble to ask how to tune the preload of the center shock and limiter for a snowmobile? This is the information that I'm finding hardest to find.

I would also like to see something on that.

So number 3 on the stock torsion springs on the rmotion x ? I’m about the same weight as you so good enough lol

Curious: What's the best sled/setup you've ridden at the Haliburton Forrest? Money no object

Hi Brandon. Our MXZ 850 or MXZ 800 with Full Elka Stage 5 set up is basically untouchable in groomed trails.

So if I do not have the dollies, can I just set this on the floor?

[@acceleratedtechnologies6704]

Yea, but you will get 'sticky' numbers. Buy a set of dollies. We use Qualipieces, they are about the best we have seen. We stock them if you need them.
