I was unhappy with the live valve 4 seater. Too stiff and not compliant in the rocks. I had the suspension re-valved at Fineline in St George Utah. Kept the stock springs.
it is a different car. Much more comfortable, doesn’t beat you to death and don’t even notice the chatter bumps.
I can even use the sport mode now on the fast sections.
Next mod is some tires ....

If you go to a bigger tire with a taller side wall that will also help some of the small chop. My cousin and I have identical machines and setups except for I did my suspension and he didn't do his. We both run 32-in tires and since being on 32's and getting over a thousand miles on the machine he says the suspension is good to go for him. He said the tires made a big difference in the little chatter for him.

What tires did you get?

I have GBC Terra Masters. I absolutely love them! I ride mostly Tennessee area and they have done great in everything I have thrown at them! These have been the best tire I have used to date! They are on the lighter side to which was a big thing for me.

Hi - I have an X. Did the bandit tender spring thing before I even put a mile on it and yes it still pretty much sucks. I can’t imagine it being worse with the stock tender springs.

Does anyone know of a reputable east coast suspension shop that is somewhat close to Eastern PA that can revalve/re-spring the shocks.

Around here it’s all hard pack with rocks in the hard pack and I feel everyone of them.

I understand the cost is a bummer but every dirt bike I had was $300 on each end to get fixed up, so $1200+ or so is what I’m expecting. Just don’t want the hassle of shipping costs if ya can believe that. Would rather drive a couple of hours, drop off, and pick back up.

I can't say enough how happy I am with my complete suspension job done by G-Force suspension and racing technologies out of Johnson City Tennessee. I live in Illinois and did have to ship it to him but it really wasn't as bad as I thought. If I remember correctly I went to UPS with my shocks and had them box them and pack them with me standing there. The total cost to ship it to him I believe was $90. Wish it would have been zero but I didn't think 90 was that bad. I'm not joking when I can tell you I can make this thing so plush now for when my wife rides with me. Then I stiffen it up for when it's just me. I absolutely love the suspension on my talon now. You could set up an appointment with Gary at G-Force for a Friday drop off and install, He told me he could have me easily in and out in a day, And then meet me at Royal Blue and Tackett Creek and we can ride the rest of the weekend together! that was my original plan with him until things changed on my end.

Hey - thank you!!!!

I will give them a call and get them sent out.

Very good to hear you are satisfied with the machine with the reworked suspension.

I am reasonably happy with my stock LV suspension. I am running BFG KM3's at 10-12 psi, and at this point I couldn't justify spending money to change anything. I have the X, and it is surprisingly good at bashing through big desert whoops! I think it has something to do with the length of the vehicle. I can roll right through whoops that would be miserable in a truck or some other UTV's (to long) or an ATV (to short), but strangely the X is in a sweet spot where it matches the whoop rhythm.

I have the 2020 R. So your machine is heavier.

Tire pressure is a big factor on comfortable ride. If you are running the stock tires try 8 psi. I really liked my 30” tires. Went to 32” and I don’t like them very much. True, you get more clearance, but the down sides of Speedo/ odo error and the fact the machine has 6 speed sensors that effect braking efficiency, engine braking, idle, shift points...and on. They look cool, that is for sure. I run them at 9.5 pounds because lower and the sidewalls in the rear bulge too much.

disclosure, I never drove it with stock tires. I put system 3 bead locks and 30” tires on before I drove it. Going to 32” from 30” I noticed it doesn’t crawl as well, I need more throttle. I have to use my brakes more on downhills that engine braking used to handle without. It has less power above 50 mph.
