09 LTX GT

Having steering problems, been a battle for a couple years.
Anyone have a stock or rough setting measurment for skid shock spring. Thinkn I may have 3 much spring tension? 4 inches ofvadjustment, mine is at about 2.5 from bottom.
Strap pulledup all the way. That has to be way to much.

Mono setup sheets are available in the tech pages, they’ll give you a spring pre-load measurement for your weight as a starting point, but 40-45mm of sag measured at the spring is what you are looking for. I normally run my limiter strap pulled down one maybe two holes depending on which skis I’m running. When was the last time that Ohlins EC was rebuilt? In my experience they need it every season if you ride all that much, seals don’t seem to last worth a crap.

What are the steering problems? what skis do you have on it..

 

[Stubbs]

I’ll add to Sleddy’s question, where is your transfer rod set?

 

[yamahinn03]

Stock skis, twitchy, an pushes something terrible, almost like not enuff ski pressure?
Woodys duallies. Transfer rod set at 50%.

 

[yamahinn03]

Front ski shocks springs are just loose not loaded

Woodys duallies. Transfer rod set at 50%.

Stock skis are garbage, try C&A Razors or Curves.. make sure they are towed out 1/4" ( Double Downs or Slim Jim Woody will remove darting) then set the transfer with 25% more on the skis. Then raise sled off the ground and remove all the ski spring preload with them hanging. Bring the jamb nut down until they just touch and the add 2-3 more full turns. Head back to the trail and smile.

 

[MrSled]

Also you have GT Shocks on front? With knob on the can and a knob at shock base? GYT-R Shocks?

 

[yamahinn03]

Yes

 

[MrSled]

Make sure the compression at the Can is set to the middle and as far as the rebound set at middle and then turn them inward about 4-5 clicks on the rebound.
