Why would you ever want to go backwards in technology. It sounds like its a nice nytro. But the improvements the viper has over the nytro are not worth it. The viper has the same power plant minus turbo and a way better mountain chassis. All the stuff he added to the nytro was to get it to...

I have never come across a brake upgrade or different pads for the Nytro. Have you tried to duct air down to the rotor. It sounds like you are having an issue with Brake fade do to heat. It could be as simple as a 3/4" plastic line with one end in fresh air and the other directed towards the...

call or write to hygear suspension. they rebuild them for $30 each. maybe they can steer you in the right direction for the specs to rebuild them yourself seeing as how you are in Norway. it is worth it to at least ask. I did not think the 08 shocks could be rebuilt. I have a pair that have...

If it is all the way out or loose i would leave it alone. A lot of people in the past with Nytro's pull up the strap to help with the approach angle since the nytro's approach angle falls on the steep side of things. However by doing that you increase the weight on the front end on a sled...

That is because skid setup is a personal preference thing which goes along with riding style. one set up doesn't work for everyone. With your weight you may be a little soft on both center and rear shocks with a turbo. you may get a little too much weight transfer with 140 PSI in the rear and...

That is a distinct tick i was thinking the same thing as MTNViper see if you can pin point where it is internally by listening with a stethoscope. maybe a broken spring in the valve train things expand when things get up to running temp so tolerances get tighter in certain part of the motor...

I have never had an issue dealing with Rick at OFT however i have not ordered anything from him for a while

Yamahamm taking nothing away from FOX Floats here but I agree the coil over shocks are easier to tune for a particular riding style. That is a picture of Raptor triple rate spring. This quote is taken off of K-mods site under the yamaha sub-header "100% billet parts, 5/8 nitride shafts...

I believe the 2008 nytro shocks are 17.5 C to C You don't have too many options for shocks for the nytro when you eliminate the Float shocks. I was not a big fan of the floats on my 08 but i had the original ones and could never really tune them very well. I have heard a lot people...

OTM Sorry about that Mike!! one thing i failed to mention was that i am running a Timbersled skid but did not realize it was that much different then the OEM lightened skid but i guess it is. I was under the impression they OEM lightened skid was modeled after the aftermarket skids. My...

Hey OTM Are you saying you run the front skid shock as 165 PSI? I am 250 RTR and have never had mine any higher then 90 psi. just curious if you meant 65-70 instead of 165-170.

between 08 and 10 Yamaha changed up the approach angle of the rear skid by shortening the front skid shock and may have even shortened the rear arms (not 100% sure on the arms) which in turn reduced the approach angle of the skid. The rear skid arms on an 08 are completely different then the...

Yea i would say that with your weight you are not getting much weight transfer in the back. I have a read over and over again that 60-65 PSI in the front ski shocks is a sweet spot for the Fox Floats on a Nytro. Center skid shock i currently run 85 PSI and i am 260 lbs geared up. People run...

You might want to think about dropping a tooth on the top gear in the chain case to help spin the track easier. Only dropping one tooth i would not think you would have to change the length of the chain but some people go with a new chain regardless if they are replacing any gears. Its pretty...

Fit and finish of the kit was really good. Michelle and OTS hooked me up with a good deal. easy to install. You can use your stock shocks with no modifications. if i had to say one bad thing about the kit. its that it did not come with zerk fittings to grease the bushing. I was going to...
