P500 Sway Bar. Honest question.

[DG Rider]

Yup... best thing you can do is disconnect it and replace it with another machine

Where did the 500 touch you inappropriately?

I disconnected both sides , I didn’t get twisted up really bad so not sure if A arm would hit sway bar but I didn’t have any issues while riding , just handled awesome , I felt like the machine was just gliding over bumps

Prob fine if both sides are loose.

That's what I thought.

I just disconnected the sway bar and left it in place to see if i liked it . I went riding for a weekend and loved the way it handled , all the tires seemed to stay on the ground on off camber situations . I ride in woods mostly so I’m not going fast , so I am going to keep the sway bar in place for now but disconnected

Mines been that way for years....

I just zip tied both sides up and rode that way for over a year then ended up taking it out all together.

BOOOO!

Mine is still on....being a slow rider I find no need to remove it.

Fast riders are the ones that need the sway bar, once disconnected helps keeps all four tires on the ground in uneven terrain.

Just crawling the two times I’ve had mine on it’s side with the sway bar connected. It’s more the terrain than the speed.

Remind me to tell you what Cyndi said at Big Reds cabin about digging. I've been in one of the best behavior patterns in my life and It's killing me! HA! Mt Smitty is going to blow! Soon! HA!

What are you using to adjust your shocks just bought the 500 and wondering if there's a special tool for that..I like to experiment on spring setttings.

Billet/Spanner wrench will do it for you.

You will probably have to jack up the machine to go stiffer. I've never had much success going up on the preload with weight on the tires.

So leave it at factory setting seeing that someday will be getting 27's or 28's...
