2012 nytro xtx broken shock?

[Matthew457]

My 2012 nytro xtx tunnel is not bouncing back up when I push it down, which of the 3 shocks needs to be repaired?

Are you pushing it up and down on your dollies in the garage? Your suspension wont work if thats the case. It needs to be set on the floor.

Usually lift the back end off with one of those sled tunnel lifters. Brought the sled to Yamaha so I'll see what they say.

It's common for a stock xtx skid to not fully return. The transfer rod design in the back has a lot of friction. Also the ice load doesn't help.

I didn't have any issues with mine after I did a few mods (star kit/revalve, grizz/canoehead homemade block-off plate). Others have claimed good results from a revalve and/or hygear torsion spacers. I have both of these but already had or combined it with the star suspension so can't speak to their sole effect.

My 2012 Back shock broke last year it was the valve inside that broke from some hard riding my shock guy that rebuilds shocks for the super-cross guys said this is common. Here is a good link on setting and checking your sag

Its too much friction in the junk OEM transfer design. I've pushed down on new nytros sitting in the showroom in the past, and most stuck down 3-4" from new!
