    Anyone got some suggestions for settings on a 2005 TE450, have been playing around with different settings and i seem to be finding more problems than solutions.Would post my settings but i have been changing them a lot lately So just wondering what other peoples setups were or could get some advice? Oh! and i am about 200lbs in riding gear ride mixed terrain and have a lowering link fitted.

    Funny you should be asking essentially the same thing I have recently.

    Are you simply trying out the damping adjuster settings top and bottom or have you also altered fluid weight and level?

    I think popular opinion lays blame for harsh action on the damping shim stacks...though I know of no specifics. And yes, significant times been invested by "technicians" to determine what changes resolve owner complaints. Reward for knowledge is warranted and of course expert workmanship is valuable, but at the same time true sportsmen are willing to offer suggestions in specific areas without revealing exact settings. (Anyway, those exact settings would be a "shot in the dark" without input from you .:thumbsup:)

    Sincerely,good luck in your search for knowledge.
