Can Am X3 Shock Tune Suspension (Modified Fox Tune)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- We do a complete suspension shock tune using the Fox Tune guide as a reference and make our own modifications on the 2019 Can Am Maverick X3 XDS Turbo R 64". We adjust the settings for: pre-load, crossover, High Speed, Low speed, and Rebound components. We even reveal a common mistake that may save some time.

Pretty sure the crossover measurement is made from the top of the spring to the bottom of the lower crossover ring. You can see this on Fox’s diagram on the shock that tells the crossover and spring length.
you can measure it either way, just be consistent.
No you cannot, your crossover specs are wayyy wrong.
@@rkjadams15 Yes you can as he explained in the video
a sharpie really helps in shock adjustments.
great point!
Thank You. Just took delivery on that exact model and want to learn what changes should be made. Mostly trail no jumping. This helped for sure. 👍
rode it last weekend on these setting on very diverse trails, like the set up I was pleased.
Good video, I wish you would have went and did the back so I can adjust along side you. But thanks for this
Thanks for the feedback….
We would only pull these measurements for preload and crossover with the car fully loaded. settling the shocks by shaking the car is also inadequate
great point.
Great video, I was able to adjust my front shocks thank you! I am stuck on the rear shocks. Can you provide the rear pre-load and cross over instructions please.
Rear pre load is 6" from the top of the plastic cap on shock to the top of first crossover ring. Top of first crossover ring is 9 5/6" to plastic cap on top of shock. Hope this helps.
Great video but a couple things. Did you take it out and drive it before taking the ground clearance measurement? If not it’s going to settle once the tires move out. Second the crossover rings can be set on or off jacks because it never movers.
yes before i modified, and good point to mention on the CO rings. Also drive it after mods to measure again
Anyone know if I can do something similar to my 2022 XRS smart shox 72 inch? My car sits very low
shocks works the same...you can adjust pre load to change height
@@AdventureStreamingGuys thank you
@@1ttcobra2003 you are welcome.
Hello thanks you for the vidéo I success in adjusting my suspensions but can you tell me which pressure of nitrogen should we have?
Thanks for the comment. The pressure is not adjustable
Great video. Can't wait to see some video of you driving it.
Nick we did 108 miles on SAturday...these adjustments were great in some real rough trails and mud
I ride in a lot of trails in Wisconsin. How does your ride feel after making these adjustments?
much better....then you will probably tweek even more depending upon the weight and riding you do. But much better than the stock set up
What is the first adjustment for rear shocks? Please provide these first adjustments front/rear for XRS version. Thank You!
You should check out the fox website since I don't know what the specs are for the XRS, mine is the XDS
If you're doing the measurements for the crossovers from the top to the rings it shouldn't matter if you measure with the buggy in the air or on the ground though...
thanks mrtosh...yes...I tried to explain that in the back of the vid...thanks for the comment
@@AdventureStreamingGuys great vid altogether! How does the machine ride on this tune?
@@mrtosh it really performed well and kept that ride height for about 500 miles, after 2600 miles on the stock springs i put on Eibach springs....and wow!
I did the fox tune on my 2018 xrs max, the ride height is at 13" now not the full 15.
check your measurements again, you should be 14 3/4 - 15 1/4 no problem
Your springs will also sag over time.
@@devanlaventure8483 yes..I noticed I had to adjust preload again after about 350 miles
Hi.. where did you find the fox setting guide that you were showing?
Mike Kempchinsk i think you can search fox shock tune on google and it will give u different settings depending upon your machine model
Are you using the same 3" measurement for preload on rear as you did on the front? And what about the crossover measurement for rear? Fox specs say crossover front 4.5" and rear 6". You did 5" in the front but didnt say what you did in the rear.
I will be working on machine tomorrow, let me measure the crossovers again, and will post for you.
ok while the machine is on the ground, front crossover is 1 5/6- 2" from top of rubber stopper to the middle of the two crossover rings. Back crossover is 1 3/4 " using same measurement type.
Only did front??? I assume you did back the same way, just didn’t show it???
Yes I actually show front n back when i discuss my mistake at end that will save you time
Let me guess. The outlander XMR is the same way also with the fox shock
Most shocks have same principle some have less adjustments..
What location did you measure for the rear and how many inches?
You use the same reference point. Go on Fox's website, they have all this info for you.
yes...that is where i pulled the info from their website
How did you compress the rear springs, I’m stuck here. Can’t lower the top cross overs
Lol just for your enjoyment I thought I’d share, I also just broke the top locking for the bottom part of the crossover.. on both my front shocks.. so now I’m 100% screwed.
Easier to use a spring compressor u can rent at auto parts store or use a ratchet strap. Sometimes you cab use a pipe wrench and spin the 2 locking spiral nuts
@@AdventureStreamingGuys any recommendations on managing with the broken locking swivel for the lower part of the cross over..
@@FireMN_Gamer I would remove the shock and take it off and replace it. It won't be a hard job it will just take some time. Not a good idea to run the shocks unless all pieces are functioning as they should.
@@FireMN_Gamer I had a buddy do that too while we were on a ride. He tried to adjust it and it had corroded onto the shock and he was tapping it with a hammer and broke it. I would remove the shocks and replace them, and while shocks are off really clean them well.
So how wide is your X3 after doing this? I find that my 64", with stock tires, is now closer to 61" wide.....
still 64
Your 100% right . If you raised the suspension at all over stock hight that it came you will lose your track width . I’m at about 14” ride hight front rear and my rear is a lot narrower then then my front . I’m close to 61 62
What rebound settings did you use on the front shocks?
I used stock Fox recommended settings for the rebound in Front....don't have my notes with me but you can check out the insert from Fox I used
It's a SXS not a Civic.
lol...but my civic years ago ran 126000 mile....29 miles per gallon :-)
Useless video. You Only show the front…. And then a rear crossover ring meashurement. 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching
