front sway bar question

Hey guys, I just got back from CAW. This was my first trip with my rzr and I really liked it. (THE RHINO IS 4 SALE). The only thing that I don't like about it is, it feels really stiff. It has the walker evans shocks on it , so I would think it would be at least as smooth as my rhino. I think if I unhooked the front sway bar it would help a ton. My question is...do any of you have your front sway bar unhooked?

A lot of guys unhook the front sway bar. A very common thing.

I unhooked mine from day one. You will get more flex without it. A lot of people are unhooking the rear also but you have to watch it at high speeds when you unhook the rear.

Thanks Stealth...Does it make the front end fell softer?

I've read all the threads here and elsewhere. Unhooked mind and went for ride. High speed, off camber trails were very uncomfortable to me. And, I'm not into rock crawling. Hooked mine back up and may get a stiffer rear bar to help the "push". Or, just turn in early and gas it!

Well, the S don't have one on the front. It rides very good, and handles like it's on rails. I think that if you remove it, it will free it up so much that you will want to adjust your shocks up. I think you should try it, and adjust your shocks up some, and see how it does. Because you have Walker Evans shocks, you may be able to find the right setup without the sway bar. You have nothing to lose, if it don't work out, you can hook it back up and ride on. I would at least give it a try.

Ditch the front sway bar! Ride it a couple of times, you will get used to it. Mine has been off since mid 2008. I just have taken my rear off and love it. It does have more body roll but that doesn't bother me. The center of gavity on the RZR is just awesome. All I did on the rear is unhook one side so i could hook it back up in minutes if I needed to.

You have to remove the sway bar. The shocks will not fit with it inplace.. I just zip tied mine up and out of the way. Much better ride..........

MAN YOU GUYS ARE COLD

Just for the record...I pulled a certain rhino out several times also...I'M JUST SAYIN...

COME ON RAYRAY!!! Did they not teach you to count over 3 in Statesville? And as I recall my 4 wheel drive was acting up when you had to pull the "Baby Rhino" out!

As I recall we had not been there 15 minutes and I pulled you out...and I went thru the same hole. There were no 4 wheel drive problems the first 2 times.

I gotta admit the FO FIDDY does pretty good...I just keep having to stop and wait on you to catch up.
