I have a used 2013 900Xp with 1500 miles on it. I have used it 4 times going about 100 miles on each trip. Everything works fine ... so I thought. My kids rented a 2017 RZR 4 seater last time we went out and the ride was night and day different than mine. That rental was so much smoother and quieter and more enjoyable than mine. So ... I'm learning about my Walker Evans shocks ... I read so much info about shocks that I'm still more or less confused. Is there a guy in Havasu that I can go to that will possibly re-charge my nitrogen if needed and maybe set up my shocks and teach me about their set up? Thanks 👍

Check with "Off Road Only"on lake Havasu ave just south of Kiowa. I'm pretty sure that is the name of the shop.

Yes, Anything Off-road. Been there a few times, no complaints from me.

You can't compare a 900 to a 1000. Even a brand new 900 won't compare to 1000 that has been hammered.

You can definitely have yours worked on and your car should work better than before but it will never compare to a 1000.

Thanks for the replies ... I have heard of both of these shops from this forum. Yeah ... I'll have them go through the shocks and let them set them up for the type of riding we do here. I'm sure I can get the RZR to ride a little smoother. Great summer project.

In my experience my walker Evans shocks lose nitrogen and Springs are weak .

If you are loosing nitrogen pressure in your shock's, they are due for a rebuild and have the seals replaced.

If they have never been charged with nitrogen you'd be surprised, I've played with quite a few and when starting straight from Polaris the shocks are all different pressures. As well I've found that they will basically never have the same amount of preload in the springs.
A two seat 900 try with an initial 135psi front and 160psi rear with the rzr jacked up suspension fully drooped out and then add a little more preload front and make sure you have some droop in the rear. If you make toward Ft. Mohave message me I can help get you into a nice base tune right in my driveway

I took them to walker Evans and they did a full rebuild that lasted about two rides . They suck and so does there customer service

My Fox's blow seals and loose oil and nitrogen constantly.
Just had them serviced yet again. Warranty so that part is ok.
