[Closed] Pushed RP23 on a 575

I've got an 08 575 that replaced an 06 one. I've never really got to grips with the 08 suspension set up. Seems to wallow a bit in the mid stroke. As a result I tend to have the pro-pedal permanently on. The previous owner of the 06 575 had the rp23 pushed and I found it rode so much better.

Has anybody had the shock on the new 08-10 575's pushed? How did it affect the ride? was it worth it?

I found that spending some time adjusting the rp23 pressure to suit your riding weight made a huge difference to my '08 575.
+ or - 10 psi is more than noticable and once sorted helps steady the mid stroke. The 575 is a bike that does use all it's travel constantly though, making a comfortable, quicker & effective pedal, for me anyway.

Got similar symptoms on my 06 Rocky Mountain Slayer, and also considering getting the RP3 shock PUSH'd. Will be interested to see the replies.

cheers guys - I probably haven't spent enough time tinkering with the set up. Pretty sure going to get it pushed when I send it in for a long overdue service.
