Hey guys I just picked up a 2014 viper rtx se! I picked it up Friday morning so far I put 8" slim jims on it and left it at the factory set up. I will be putting 90 1 1/2 inch woody's mega bites before next weekend. So far the handling is pretty good with a little push but when I really lean into it she rails! I'm guessing once I add the studs the push will increase greatly? I weigh 240 dressed
I'm thinking of tightening the limiter strap, and loosening the front shock a little bumping the ski pressure to 85 and bring the torsion spring to the highest setting. Any thoughts?(still breaking it in so I haven't been riding to aggressive yet)
My wife bought a 2014 zr 7000sp limited she has 6" slim jims and 90 1 1/2 Woddy's mega bites studs she weighs about 135 dressed and she find her sled pushes in the corners too much so I am thinking of
loosening her front skid shock
tightening the limiter strap
bringing her torsion spring to med
and bumping the ski pressure to 75 psi(it's at 65) Any thoughts?
Would the be a good place to start?
Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks!! All check it out!!
Here's a few pics they are both nice machine exactly the same except for the cab and clutches I got to say comparing the 2 side by side the fit and finish of the viper is superior

Wow that is awesome!! good job guys on creating this sticky!!!!
Sharp sleds! Buddy has a Limited just like that. I actually like his clutches a bit better than the Yamaha clutches.

From what I understand when I had my shocks on my ltx se revalved the guy was explaining how to set the sled up. He said to have it set for max transfer. If you come into a corner hot and let off the gas and the sled doesn't turn very good or you have to lean or have ski lift to tighten the center shock slightly (increase preload) but just enough to cure the tough turning. Then when coming out of the corner hammer on it and if it doesn't rail or pushes then tighten the limiter strap one hole at a time until it's good, tightening to many holes will give you heavier steering.
