adjusting Grizzly 700 XTR shocks

[BikerCurious]

I'm pretty close to my BIL, he wanna stiffen up his 2020 Grizzly 700 XTR's shocks for plowing and hitting the trails?
I'm helping him now. We don't really know how to do it, we've jacking it up to get the pressure off the suspension, what else after that?

Try to find the preload adjusters on the shocks and turn them clockwise to stiffen. Make sure both sides are even, drop it down, and test it. Adjust more if needed. let me know if it hepls

Nice that you're helping him out. Wish I'm also close to my BIL hahaha. After jacking it up, you might want to check if the shocks have preload adjusters or external reservoirs? Also try swapping to heavier springs / adding spacer collars.

Haha, yeah just trying to get those family BBQ invites! Good call on looking at the preload adjusters and reservoirs. Might as well mess around with the spacers while it's up in the air,it's a free workout in the garage

have you found it? let me add one more tip. you'll need a spanner wrench (sometimes called a hook wrench) to turn these rings. Your Grizzly might have come with one in its tool kit, or you can pick one up at any ATV/motorcycle shop or online
