    Rear track Shock length confirmation?

    Hi, I had bought a Elka Stage 5 from a suspension shop, used but rebuilt, intended for a 129". I have a 129" as well. When I went to install it I noticed it was ~10mm longer than my stock shock (14.5" eye to eye) .... I asked the shop and they said it came from a 129" so I installed it. Rode...

    Shock body dimension question

    I have the Fox 1.5 Zero RC on my R-TX SE, looking at buying dual rate springs, is the shock body of these fox shocks the same as say a QS3R? Just want to make sure the collar of the springs would fit around the shock body.

    Thoughts on my Driveshaft pls

    What do you guys think of my drive shaft? It's a 2017 that I bought Oct 2018 and put on 5500km last season. To me it seems like the bearing did spin but i'm not an expert. Bearing also doesn't really "feel" quite snug. Based on my calipers I have 1/128th clearance. Do I buy a new one or have...

    Anyone powder coat their A-Arms?

    I have White A-Arms, even when new in the showroom there was a bit of visible rust, now after 1 season/5500km its decently worse. I'm also doing a wrap so I want to get them re-coated in a different color. I'm just not sure if it's possible to powder coat with the ball joints on there?

    TD MS17 w/SQ vs MS16 w/SM - 4000km - My Thoughts

    **Disclaimer** I ride trails, mostly up in Timmins/Cochrane and RARELY try to hit top speed, usually just looking for corner to corner performance. When new in October 2018 I had ordered a TD SQ muffler with Ecotrail Tune and Dalton weights, then I upgraded 2 days later to PowerTrail then a...

    When "should" one change their belt?

    **Updated Feb 23rd, 2019 Click to See** Lots of talk about blown belts etc but haven't seen (I could have missed it) a topic on when it's a good or recommended time to change it. I just rolled 3000km so far this season on my new non-current '17 I bought in October with the XS825 belt from day...

    Question on Top Speed and RPM after 1000km

    On my R-TX SE that I just got this year I just put on 1000km so far this winter, decent for living in Toronto lol. I did 1st engine/chaincase oil change at 500km because I was heading up North for a 800km + trip and didn't want to do it after. I have Max Spool 17, 3Bar, intake, TD Super...

    Looking for help on how to hold primary clutch for torquing?

    Hi all, I'm struggling to figure out a good way to hold the primary so I can get it torqued to the 108ft lbs. Using a small pry bar between the primary posts is pretty much impossible to hold it from spinning backwards due to leverage and can't fit a longer pry bar there. Also I fear I'm going...
