has anyone come up with a rear shock valving solution for the 2008 FX Nitro?

i tested set-ups for a local suspension shop all last winter.......he doesn't advertise in TY so if your interested in sending them to Ontario PM me, I'm 100% sure you'll love the ride.
it took all winter, but its fun as hell heading for the trail junk at full speed and not feeling it.
www.pioneerperformance.net has a setup for the nytros.
Has anyone tried it?
I think im going to try their kit.

I had Pioneer re-valve mine this summer. Looking forward to trying it out.
I hope Yamaha offers something before too long for the front-end, otherwise I have some work left to do there.

Revalving is something I want to get knowledge of. I don't know if I'll be able to do it this year, but I definently want to learn how to, and be able to dial my own sled in myself. I just can't see it being that complicated or difficult. Not trying to take anything away from the companies doing it now, I just feel that I should learn how to myself. That way it's exactly the way I like it.

i sent my fx nytro std rear shocks to Hygear, i was only complaining about the rear so thats all i had them do, it was so good, im sending my fronts to them this fall, when you call with a tech question they let you talk to Ross, who is the guy that works on yur stuff, and he cares about the customer..........just send it to Hygear

There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. It is not really a science, it's more of an art.

I have talked to Ross at Hygear a few times this summer and he believes that he has a package that will do justice to the Nytro. He gave me 30 minutes of his time on the phone discussing what has done and the testing they used. I was so impressed by his willingness to go into detail. It is pricey, but really, you get what you pay for.

Exactly, I wasn't trying to make it sound like it's easy. I think, an art is a good way to describe it. It's an art I want to learn!!!
The stock valving in the FX NytroRTX rear shocks is PAINFULLY basic. ANY shock tuner should be able to improve the ride drasticly. THe more info you can provide about how you ride, what type of terrain, your weight and what you do like and what you don't like about the current shock's valving characteristics. ex: I like how it goes through small bumps but bottoms harsh on the big ones. I don't like how the rear of the sled 'hops' around when I let off the gas through a series of bumps.
While there is a lot of tuning adjustment outside of the shock valving already on the RTX a quality valve stack IS impressive! And I would go on to say your tuner will be lucky IF yours is the first set of Yamaha RTX shock they have been into and they get it exact the first time. And that is NOT because they are complicated quite the opposit. But there are many known shock tuners that now have at least a year under their belt so most should be close to what you ask for! Just don't tease yourself If you are NOT a 20 year old sno-x racer don't tell them you ride hard and get 15 foot of air for 60 feet! Or your sled will ride like a ol logging truck over most of the trail junk out there. IF you are not bottoming out every now and then you are leaving suspension travel unused while riding ... tune accourdingly.
