16 xtx le. Rear evol will hit idler!!

[mshabaz]

That's why I need someone out there to slam theirs down for me. This evol will hit the wheel before the bump stops.

 

[mshabaz]

Dog. Great point about it being up there

 

[mshabaz]

So at the moment I have my dealer looking into it and Hygear checking into it as well. Since my skid is out and not here I need someone to drop theirs and look at it to make sure either we all have a problem or just me

If it is pointed down it would hit the rod?

It would hit rod. The LTX and I thought XTX normally has two plates instead of a rod. Evol or a bottle can then go in between. No way to fix this with the parts on there. They screwed up.

 

[mshabaz]

Yes It would. But I would love to get Hygear links in. However need to still find out if fox makes the top cup w rebound and all that 90deg off where it is now.

Wow.
They probably had a LOT of R&D and testing whit those shocks...... Lol
I can t belive what i see!
I think you can flip the core,
Hope they gona solve that problem FAST for you!

 

[cannondale27]

They should fix this. If not I would get the rail reinforcements and move the wheels

 

[mshabaz]

We were thinking of reinforcing the rail and moving the wheel. are there rail reinforcing kits that you know of?

 

[mshabaz]

Believe me. I'm just as in shock (no pun intended) as you!!

 

[Byam]

Come on guys, its brand new from factory,its almost impossible that YAMAHA wont fix That #*$&@....

 

[mshabaz]

I'll keep you guys informed. In the meantime if anyone knows someone w a 16xtx le. Please check this

Thanks. I'll check that!!

One thing. Remember that arm is attached to sled. When you are pushing it down it's not the same. It can go backwards or forward without being in sled. You sure it won't clear if bolted in sled?
