    ZX2 boken bolt

    AD Boivin Guys, Don't back off the bolt, just re-torque them to the proper torque as a safety. If it move when you re-torque, Then back it of and use locktite again. The Torque for every bolts, except the track adjustement at the back, is 50 FT/Pounds. Second, We use Red locktite, so no...

    ZX2 may be problem

    AD Boivin Like i told Zach on another post, The back end should be around 1 inch from the ground if you lift the rear of the sled and let it back down slowly. (End of the track lug) If it is more, we have to check the front end and see if you have some sag in the front suspension. If so...

    AD Boivin When you sit on it, does it get flat ? How much sag to you have in the front end when you pick it up, before the ski lift off the ground ? The revolver spun because the of the preload from the front of the suspension. Try raising your front end, it seem low to me from the...

    rxrider's Turbo Garage - pics back, will continue

    guys, you have to loose the Rear wheels to adjust the track tension, if you don't, you will groove the Plastic Rail And make later adjustement harder. Make sure you torque the rear wheels to the spec specified in the manual: 50 foot pounds. if you can adjust the rear wheels, this tell me the...

    Boivin ZX2 suspension review

    don't drop the preload to much because you will seat all the time on the second stage of the G-force shocks absorber. You will lose the softness of the suspension. just be carefull. if you run to soft, it is not smoother and the shocks package work harder. The oil will over heat and you may...

    Boivin ZX2 suspension review

    AD Boivin Help! Hi guys, Grimm when you say : For me, my skis were lifting more in the turns than I remember from last year. Perhaps the suspension has raised the sled's center of gravity and it's a bit more top heavy? I don't know, but I'll probably play with the settings more to get it...

    zx2 solid no movement

    Ad boivin Exactly, there is no extension for the 128 inch track. The mounting plate are for 121 or 136''. Anything in between is custom. AD Boivin did not manufacture the 128 inch kit. That does not mean we won't do it. as at right now, there is not enought demande to do it. So it would...

    ZX2 Suspension

    Snow Warrior, The Zx-2 will feel stiffer in static because the way the suspension is design. When you sit on a ZX-2, you want to have around 0 to 2 inch of sag max. This is just like the Expert X. You want to keep as much travel as you can for the bump, not for the show room ! It will...
