2500 miles on our oem slides and still had .110 left before the wear line at the most worn point. I slapped oem right back on both sleds. 1.25" lug tracks. No scratchers.

They didn't check anything from what I could see. Alignment was over 1" toe out on one sled.

We lost all the oil out of the rear shock on the wife's sled due to the plug not being tightened from factory....charge tube clamps weren't very tight...found a couple zerks in the skids were installed cockeyed...wasn't any lube on pivot points in skids....list goes on. Check every nut and...

The wife and I hit the UP and Northern WI 6 times this season logging 2540 miles on the sleds and 6000 miles on my truck getting there. Lucky to hit great snow every time.

I love it. Owned a 1980 Exciter and SRX. Two 2022 LTX GT's might just go on the auction block.

I would sell my 22 LTX GT in a heartbeat if I could land a 23 SRX...that blue looks amazing in the sun. Saw two out riding yesterday.

Last ride my speedo just ticked 119 when I backed out of it on a rail grade. The max speed stored on the gps was 116.

Because the stock skags were darting. I like to ride hard and had Aggressive Snow Trackers on my EPS Apex and they worked flawlessly. Went same direction with this sled. They are working on wife's sled with stock springs. Only spring I haven't stiffened up yet on mine is the center. If that...

Ordered the AC 160/260#

Guess I will see what the heavier center spring does first and it that doesn't fix it then I'll try trimming.

I'm fairly certain I've caused the issue by springing the sled for my weight. Have identical machine for the wife with the same Aggressive Snow Trackers with all stock springs and she says hers is perfect and not to change a thing.

I've got my skis (LTX GT EPS with aggressive trackers) as close to zero as I can get with the sled sitting on the floor. It's still a little "nervous". I need less ski pressure I assume. Will the Cat heavy center spring accomplish that? I'm a svelte 300# with 22# torsion springs on the rear...

The 16oz Boostane cans have a good seal. I've carried them in the tunnel bag with no leaking.

I travel 500 miles one way to ride so wanted bolt in tested and proven setups...don't like to waste time on vacation jacking around tuning myself. I told Tim/Terry at Thunder what I had for measured offset and they machined the secondaries, put their helix, rollers and springs in and sent me...

On our 22's I found zero lubrication on any pivot points. I pulled both skids and greased every pivot point I could. I found the bearings are from China so I replaced the top 2 bearings (since I had skids out) with Timken. Also pulled ski bolts and lubed. Alignment was off on both sleds. (1...

Excellent description! Thank you for taking the time to spell this out. Side note, my source was also using terminology in an effort to dumb it down for me. lol

How is a small bump taken up by coils that are touching at rest? Look at the first post in this thread. The LTX GT coils are touching at the top while at rest. (very little gap if not touching) If touching at rest they will still be touching until you go over a rise to decompress. The 180# per...

I have one or our LTX GT's (the other has actual dual rate springs from Elka) set at 2 turns tightened from full loose if that makes sense...just enough tension to hold the perch in place. At rest the upper coils are near touching and at the slightest of compression they are touching. I just...

Love to learn. Good post. One observation though, the tight coils do not open up and I know this because mine are still collapsed off the shock and in a box.

Edit: I did misquote my source. He did not say they were not dual rate but what he did say is: If the "tender" portion of the suspension is used up at rider sag, then it is actually a helper spring. This scenario is used to lower ride height and then get strong. Unfortunately, you won't...
