The back right corner of my trooper is starting to sag. Think my dad worked it a little hard on the whoops and blew out the shock. Does anyone have a resonably priced set up they used for aftermarket shocks? I can't justify putting 3k worth of shocks on a machine I only paid 4k for used lol.

Thanks for your input in advance!

How well does your trooper do on whoops and bumpy hard pack? I am very interested in going with foas. They are reasonably priced. Also I have gotta ask how you made your rear fenders?

Yea I was looking at air shocks at first just because the price and simplicity but I ride a lot of rough hardpack and I am afraid they would not take the abuse.

During this bad weather, (winter), I just reworked the front shocks to have more rebound dampening and haven't had a chance to try them, but I'm sure they are as good as any other shock, way better than stock, and you can rebuild them. The rears were doing quite well, but the front had too little rebound dampening and I have just fixed that, I hope, but need to test it.

I'll have to take some photos of my fenders for you, but the plastic came from http://www.speedwaymotors.com/in the form of a 10’ or 25' X 22" X 1/8” rolls (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Colored-Plastic-Rolls-25-Ft,31414.html ) and the frame work is a piece of 1" X 1/2" channel iron bent around the tire and supported by 2 1/2" square tubes and stabilized at the front.

photos later today, hopefully.

My whole air shock setup cost me about 1300-1400 rides Awsome can't power slide though without body roll but I like it a lot

Good to hear. They have been trying the new air shocks on the Supercross bikes and they have not preformed as well as the old setups. Most of the riders have returned to there old setups siting lack of feel in the air shocks.

Ya Rocmoc I really like it, air shocks are coming a long way and over the weekend I watched a show called xtreme 4x4 and theres these new off road airstrutts coming out its almost like a dual rate air shock with lots of adjustment not with just pressure but valving and they also cut the wieght down. Im gonna try post the link when I think to watch it again. What the latest with the JEEPS

You mentioned two different sets here. I take it the bottom info is for the rear shocks?

      Hi All,
      New here, but bought a 2022 Sector 750 brand new last march (old stock up here in Canada)
      It's a good bike so far, but I have noticed a quirk and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?
       
      The issue I've had is if I leave the utv parked on any incline, not even a major incline, and leave it to sit for a while (day or two) it will not start properly. It will turn over and not fire until I press the gas pedal, when it will run and rev up, but if I let off the gas it will die. It will keep doing this until I either start it in gear and drive it for a bit or leave it in neutral and roll it down the hill to flatter ground. where it will have to sit for a while. 
      If I park it on a decline there is no issue. fuel is not low, it's occurred a couple times now. 
       
      Any thoughts on the cause of this? Dealership just says bring it in and let them take a look, at my expense of course.

      In 2016 I bought a midsized Ranger ETX. I don't recall exactly my out the door price but it was probably less than 8k. I've used it as a work machine around our home and 38acres. It's always run great and requires little maintenance. Still running strong. 
      So, for no reason I checked out a local dealer. I like the midsized UTVs so that's where I started. I was shocked the cheapest 570 I saw was a shade under 18k. I know an ETX Ranger was a budget SxS but wow, that's a 10k jump. When I was shopping back in '16 I think a 570 was about 1k more than my ETX.
      Well I guess I will be running this ETX till it breaks.
      Anyhow, I'm a big fan of the Rangers. When the time comes I'll be back but I had no idea. I haven't posted in a while. The ETX must not have sold a lot because you don't see many things posted. Hope other ETX owners had the same reliability I have had. I'm guessing if a cheap Ranger series like mine has been reliable then the guys with bigger ones are enjoying those as well.
      So, great machines, probably priced per the market but I had no idea. Ha

      Does Anyone by chance have a owners manual and a shop manual for a 2007 800cc trooper. I just bought one and need to figure out where and how to engage and disengage the 4 wheel drive. Is it electronic or is there a hidden lever. PLEASE HELP

      This is rocmoc/Michael one of the first on this forum when the Joyner was one of the most active topics.  First an update of others.  The earlier members will also remember Lenny and Jeff.  With myself we organized the first Jamborees in 2009-2012.  Sadly if you have not heard we lost both Lenny and Jeff in 2018.    A great loss to the community.  Myself:  Still around but rolled over to Jeep and Arctic Cat Wildcat.  The Wildcat  design still remains me of my old 2008 Trooper.  Doing well as the Last Man Standing but cleaning out the garage.  Found some New and used Trooper parts I will list in the parts section.  Wanted to give you all a chance before I list on Ebay.  As many of you knew Lenny listed a lot of stuff on Ebay.  Will I partnered a lot of the stuff with him and I still have stuff.  Take care and I will check in for message should you want to ride.  Still make it to Utah every other year and am still in Southern AZ.
