P700 Rough ride

[crosby]

Just came back from Hatfield & McCoys with my stock 700-2 Deluxe and the ride beat me up big time, what are your suggestions on making it a whole lot better, was suggested to purchase gas shocks and good radial tires which would be quite expensive and don’t want to invest if it didn’t make a huge difference in the ride. Your thoughts please

Set the rear preloads down to minimum if you haven't. After my experience with it on the 500, i'd pull the sway bar.
I thought the 700 rode badly...until I got the 500. Actually, the 700 is like and old 3/4 pickup in that it rides much better with a bit of a load.

I replace my front shocks with a set of RZR rear shocks...way better ride!

Type Can-Am Shocks in the search bar here. You will come across the threads. I'm finishing up the rear install after work today.

I swapped out the stock tires for bigger radials and it helped some.

A big help and don't run it like a race car helps tremendously . I have 27 inch tires and a good air pressure setting and at normal pace for trail conditions it is comfortable enough . If you want it plush you will have to buy some shocks.

Any idea on what kind of shocks, I am not a very savvy on what shocks would be the best

Fox shocks helped our old one outa lot!

Fox seems to be a popular option . Every one that has them seems pleased, but a much cheaper option that also is popular is the Can Am Commander Shocks they will give you 2 inches of lift and a better ride for a lot less money and I think there is a thread on here
