2009 RTX SE, I want more ski lift, how can I get it?

[Skeeterzx225]

Granted i'm not the biggest guy, but I have to put my feet all the way back and throw my weight back at takeoff to get any kind of front ski lift. I don't want major wheelies, but the ability to throw one when I want to would be nice. How can I setup my RTX SE to do this? Adjust the transfer strap? Up/Down?

let the limiter strap right out on the front of the skid, it will help

A few other things you could do:
Increase spring pressure on front suspension shock
Tighten rear limiter strap a hole or two
Lower compression on rear shock
Lighten torsion springs
Remove plastic transfer blocks near rear axle

I weigh 245 and on the hard packed trail I can stand my RTX on the snow flap, not for very far as it looses traction and drops back down but impressive. I dont touch the suspetion because it lifts the skis enough in the corner if you think of giving it power. I stand at the back pin the trottle and as the engine starts to spool up I move my weight up and plant it down on my feet kinda like a small jump BLAM instant wheelie. Now the 1.75 outback I'm getting will make it hole the wheelie.

Mine comes up pretty easily too - especially if I time a small bump right and am already moving at about 10 MPH. It stands right up on the rear bar - but I haven't pushed it as I'm afraid I'll bend the tunnel back there. It'll stay up for awhile though with my weight shifted back and little blips on the throttle.

Its pretty funny i weigh 220 w/o gear and my little bro weighs like 140 and with him on it will set back on that tip up with the skis about a foot in the air all the way to 65mph

Loosen the limiter straps. I had to tighten it up because it lifts to much and I don't want the ski lift on the tight trails in the woods. But if you drop a couple of holes on the limiter strap you can wheelie all day!

I dont think it's so much the straps... of course it will help but when it comes right down to it its traction. In the right snow I can stand back and ride a wheelie for a couple hundred feet. I'm not talking skis off the ground im talking almost vertical... I can throw the sled right over backwards if I wanted to... in fact this past weekend I was riding a wheelie and lost control and had to bail so it wouldnt roll. All in good fun I guess. My straps are setup for trail riding so I have no ski lift... but if you have a good hookup this nytro will rip them up no matter where your strap is.

Before you make any adjustments. When you Take off do you have excessive track spin or does it hook up and go but leave the skies on the ground? I only ask because if it hooks up you don't need to change much to get what you want, I would maybe start with the center shock or rear strap. But if it trenches I would start at the front straps. If you can change one thing at a time and test it out. If it were me and it has been I would try each adjustment alone and to see what they do and then take what I liked about each and try them togather. It takes a bit longer but it's better than pulling the skies up in a field and loving it and then pulling them up in a corner and putting it in the trees.
