- Let's demystify the suspension setup. In his Suspension Setup Masterclasses, Lynx R&D Manager and two-time FIM Snowcross World Champion, Janne Tapio covers the basics of suspension setup of your 2023 Rave RE or Xterrain RE snowmobile.
Part 3: HLCR Shock Adjustment
The Lynx Rave RE and Xterrain RE models come with 3-way adjustable shock absorbers. To make it easier to find the suitable setup, we have made 3 pre-configured suspension settings. In this episode, Janne Tapio shows how to use those settings. These instructions are for 2023 Lynx Rave RE and Xterrain RE models, equipped with the PPS3 rear suspension, as well as some of the 2022 Rave RE models with similar shock package.

You should do a updated video with the new 2024 shock valving, the 2024 manual is very different than 22-23 settings. Thanks, great vid.
Janne these videos are great! Can you also do a video for the Shredder/Boondocker DS and RE rear skid setting up, please?
Very clever idea to bring this type of videos to people! Thank you and hope to see more videos like this.❤️🔥
Very clear and good video! Could You ask Janne to make shock adjustment video for -99 Enduro Special :D. Would be pretty helpful for next weekend wintage races at Ivalo ;)!
Thank you for this update video. It looks a lot like the one I posted 8 days before this one. If you require a Lynx Canadian brand ambassador. I would be happy to work with your team. From my test and tune experience, I have further Lynx suspension and clutching information if it would be beneficial to your program. I am a certified BRP/Powersports technician with a successful racing background.
Nothing confusing at all here if you have ridden the sled this season and already made adjustments as outlined in the manual.
I've never pulled the strap up because with the r motion it effectively reduces the shock travel by 25-30%. I'm assuming the same would apply to PPS3. Yes or no? Thanks!
Nothing wrong with having a legend like Janne Tapio explaining suspension set up. If you don't understand him watch it until you do!
I totaly agree! ...wouldn't want anone but Janne T to make a presentation like this! :)
In PPS the impact of one step in the limiter strap adjustment is smaller and it is designed for fine tuning of your ride.
Very good info for the Rave. I would also like to see a video for adjusting my Enduro 2022.
It's funny that you also "had to" rotate the center shock piston to be able to adjust the rebound 😉. (It magically rotates in the video at 3.21-7).
Kudos to you Olov! We left it there for someone to notice :-).
We are sorry to spoil the magic but there were two suspensions used to film these episodes.
@Lynx Snowmobiles very informative video. How do you set up the front shocks spring setting (preload)? Is there some sort of sag setting like the rear shock? Also how do you set the spring (preload) on the front shock in the skid? It seems no one ever talks about the front shock
In rear suspension and front ski shocks when it comes to Spring preload? Thanks for any info.
Can you do another video for the C-Motion suspension with KYB shocks? Or answer me on here with the correct settings? Lots more people with the KYB shocks. Great video thank you!!
Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear you find the video helpful. Assuming you mean the cMotion suspension used by Ski-Doo, we will forward the question to our friends there.
I'm going on a long family trip. I've already got my suspension on my XTerrain 900 set to your recommended soft setting but it's still too stiff for the groomed trails I'm riding. What would be a good set up for the ultrasoft ride? Thank you for the help
So which setting it is come with? Not standard settings???
If these settings are for the rave and set up is for trail what would the settings be for a 23 shredder re for deep snow conditions sled trenches super bad with these settings cant keep it up on the snow any sugestions or a shredder mountain settings vidio would be great thank you
Isn't it with the standard setting that the sled comes with?
Id be interested in setting recommendations for a lightweight rider, 120-140lb range for an Xterrain Re that will be used more off trail than trail.
Rachel Bradford set your rear shock to 1.4 inches to 1.5 inches of preload. Center shock at 1 inch of preload and front shocks at 5mm of preload just under a quarter inch. Loosen all spanner nuts until spring is full loose. Measure spring then tighten spanner nut snd measure spring until you reach recommend preload stated. That should put you close. Hard to get 3.75 inches of sag at that weight without a lighter spring. 3 inches or so will be your closest. Which works cause I run it just fine. I'm 5'5 150bs and it feels stiff with 15 clicks on compression but I ride hard. Set preload then tune shocks to riding style. If you have any questions let me know I can help you out
Hei Tapio
Does this work on my Lynx BD RE 3700 -22 ?
What is the Center Shock and Front Shock Recommended Spring Preload?
Thank you for the question. Please refer to the user manual (www.operatorsguides.brp.com/) of your snowmobile for the default settings.
@@LynxSnowmobiles Well the manual does not say anything about std preload or klicker adjustmens for the shredder RE rear suspention. The front suspention is easy 3 klick and rebound but the rear only like more preload stiffer suspention or softer with less preload. And if you have more info on this please tell us the page in the manual. // Andreas
Closed position, is that the softest setting? Or stiffest setting?
Thank you for the question. We start counting the clicks from the closed position. The more clicks you turn the softer the setting gets.
At 2:18 you adjust the low speed compression setting to 30 clicks counter clock wise. Then at 2:28 you adjust the high speed compression damping 2 full turns. But I see when you are making the high speed adjustment the low speed is also turning as well (they rotate in unison), so do you need to go back and reset the low speed again? If so, I think it would make more sense to set the high speed first then low speed because the high speed nut will hold itself in place?
I'm 95% sure the low speed stays the same even tho it's moving when you adjust the high speed.
@@davidmarkovich7313 Okay thanks. I already made my adjustments and just did the high speed first, then the low speed because the high speed won't turn because there's enough resistance. Hopefully that was correct.
Haha sorry I just seen that it was 7mo ago ☺️😀
I just got the sled this weekend though. I think I will message Lynx because I really want to know the right way to do this.
I just wanted to update this thread. I talked to my dealer in person and they have a shock guy that's familiar with these shocks and he has rebuilt a few. Bottom line is it doesn't make a difference. So when you adjust the high speed and the low speed spins as well it does not change the low speed setting even though it's rotating. We actually did a test and when rotating the high speed the low speed turns but does not "click", it's just free spinning. He tried to explain saying its a double sleeve system etc. But he said if you seen it apart it would make more sense.
I thought standard setting was 15 clicks out on compression?
Those suggestions are different than in the manual. Probably to appease those complaining suspension too stiff. Lol
@@gen1xrs your probably right. Can't hit monster moguls running almost full soft. If its too stiff for some then they bought the wrong sled
All 2023, as well as 2022 in-season sleds have twice as much (8) clicks per turn for improved tolerance. If you have an earlier version, the setting is half of what is being mentioned here (e.g. 15 instead of 30).
@@LynxSnowmobiles I had a 22 rave and now a 23 xterrain and the settings in both manuals are very similar, but massively different than this chart in the video. are the manuals incorrect? Also, how many clicks are available on the shocks your chart is based on ?
@@Dixie866 Love to know this also
Very interesting how the center shock is installed differently in every sled. Which way is correct. See Snowtrax review video on the Rave on minute marker 5:10 on this video. See this video and note that the center shock is installed opposite than mine.

This video is so confusing
Please comment if you have any specific questions that are not covered in the video.
@@LynxSnowmobiles as much as I love the classic rally English, maybe a professional speaker would have been easier to understand. Also some supporting graphics and slower pace would help deliver the meassage better.
But kudos for making these kind of masterclasses. Really love the idea of helping customers understand their sled better ❤️
Thank you for the feedback. We are happy that you like the content.
We are snowmobilers talking to snowmobilers and believe that a Lynx rider wants to hear it directly from us, the riders and engineers. We may not be professional speakers, but we are natural born riders.
We will think about ways to improve the future episodes. Just like we work on our sleds!
David Jaques it's anything but confusing. If your not understanding what he's saying which Is put in the most simplest terms it can be put in then you probably shouldn't be attempting any sort of suspension or sled work
If these settings are for the rave and set up is for trail what would the settings be for a 23 shredder re for deep snow conditions sled trenches super bad with these settings cant keep it up on the snow any sugestions or a shredder mountain settings vidio would be great thank you
