P700 Uncomforable Seats

[Riverrunner16]

Just put 70 miles on my 2020 700-4, back was hurting after wards...anyone done anything to make the seats a lil more comforable ?
Also on pothole filled roads ride was pretty harsh (Used to drive an Artic Cat 550 four wheeler)..maybe a shock adjust would help that ?
Always run with the wife and I and our 3 dogs (150 lbs.) and dry box (30 lbs.) in the bed.

Thanks,
Scott

Air pressure? Makes a big difference.

The rear shocks usually come on 2nd from full soft, so you can go down a notch in back. You can also remove the rear sway bar, but you may not want that if you're doing a lot of road riding.

EDIT: Just realized your post centered around seats. Some people swear by flipping the backrest and mounting it upside down. Other than that, maybe some of those gel cushions? I find the 700 seats quite comfy, personally.

Ya, Try the seat back flip.
Its a handfull of 10mm bolts. Only 4 will go back in. It reverses the lumbar hump and I feel it helped a lot.

before i swapped to rzr seats i used a lumbar cushion from walmart and a memory foam seat pad.still use the seat pads when i have back seat passengers.

I flipped the back rest on mine a week or so ago. Not 100% sure it helped much or if I've just gotten used to the ride, but it will stay that way now.

4 bolts go back in with a little pressure and I went ahead and put a self tapper back in the center hole up top to keep it from rattling

From a previous post here, I've found they work well:
