XRT 810 has a very ruff ride

DocDryden · 01-02-2008, 10:24 PM

I bought a used 2005 XRT 810. It has a very ruff ride. I mean I can fell every bump on the ground. I would like to know if this is normal. Buy the way the cart has about 30 hours on the meter.

My Lynx (XRT 550) has the same ride... a bit stiff... try lowering the tire presure a bit... 15 lbs. or so...

I check the tire presser and they are at 14 lbs. Any other suggestion

Doc,

The ride is normal!
The XRT's are made with the "Heavy duty" suspension, only because they are built as a "Work" vehicle.
The goal of that cart is to handle 2 people and a load of: tools, topsoil, sand, bricks...etc.
Without the extra load, it will ride very stiff!

If you want it to ride with a softer feel,
you could change the leaf springs to stock DS springs.
but... I for one, would NOT recommend it!!!
Or... you could put a couple of bags of sand in the box!
If you want more of a "Cruiser"... sell it, and get a CC DS, or a Precedent!

My 2 cents!

I am not going to change the springs or sell it. I guess It’s something I can live with.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I wouldn't sell it, or change the springs either...
You'll get used to it... with just a little more time running around on it,
you'll be happy you have... what you have!
