articcat rear suspention play??

99' zl600 has about a 3" soft play before you reach the shock. you can depress this very easy. is this normal? any feed back would be great.

Make sure your under carriage is lubed and greased well.

When you take the weight off the rear suspension, then let go, does it fall any on its own? In other words, does it fully rebound?

hey guys, check this out, a little trick i didnt know. if you have a dolley under your track it applies pressure tothe front and it will make up the differance on the back untill it levels out. this is where the play was coming from. i took the dolley out and the sled is perfect. thanks for the imput

Cool, found that out when I replaced mine. That was going to be my next question to you. Good job.

wow thats cool! the same thing was happening with my 02 ZR 500. i thought it was a problem so got the suspension rebuilt. turns out the suspension did need rebuilt but it scared the s**t out of me when it still did the same thing with a rebuilt suspension. thanks guys. that makes me feel a lot better
