alot of it also has to do with the angle of the jump you're launching off of..


you can't expect to have some perfect arching jump on anything you smash the gas at :)
x2.

Hard to say the setting to use bc every jump is different.

I would make sure i had a fat wallet and lots of time for repairs if i was going to do very much jumping! :rofl3::rofl3: :redrzr:

just my opinon, I would crank up the pre-load so that the springs are helping the valveing when you hit hard, lots of preload and clicker's set half way. if you max the cliker's it will build lots of heat and fade jumping. so IMO half way.

i was jumping my 1000 this weekend, and i did play with the shock because i was trying to get a good all around setting for how i drive. ill have to check my setting when i get a chance and ill let you know. but as far as jumping just pay attention to the jump. never jump anything shorter than the RZR and as soon as you start going up the jump, put your foot down all the way through the jump until liftoff then feather the gas for the landing so you don't rip out a shaft. here is a video. (this is running 50 mph)

Thanks for the video.In the video yours is doing the bucking thing as well.I have not videoed my self jumping yet.That might be the next step.But it feels like it is doing a lot more.

Pretty much tried everything and there simply isn't a launch setting. It's up to the launch angle - you need at least 9 feet to launch so that all four wheels set on the ramp. Hitting same jumps from different sides brings different results. The best jump you will find is one with a descending landing; all the razors rears seem to kick up.

Enjoy : A buddy sent me this of some guys ...big time descending landing!

Yeah the bucking also depends on the jump. But in the video it's not that bad considering that was the first weekend I got to play with the jumping part and let's just say the first one I hit I did a 15ft endo haha. The more I played with it the better I could make it jump.
