expert x 144

[Gibby]

I have installed a expert x 144 in a warrior and have rode approx. 700 miles on it and was wondering if someone could help with what all the adjustments should do?

I understand adjusting the transfer.

If I want less ski pressure what do i adjust, its very hard turning in the corners (it does not push)?

When hammering it from a dead stop it lifts the skis about 4 to 6 inches which i think this is about what i want.

Any suggestions would be great

Lossen the spring presure on your front shocks half turn and try it. If you want less, go another half turn. Adjust till you find what you like in the front. Then adjust your rear. Change only one thing at a time.

expert x is a swing arm design no front and rear shocks

Having two parallel shocks, you can't add pressure to the front of the rails as you can with a conventional skid. If you want less ski pressure when steering, the best way to achieve this is to shift your weight back and/or hit the throttle. You may also get somewhere by tightening up the "softness" nut. This, combined with front ski pressure, will regulate the back-to-front transfer for when you're off the throttle.

what exactly does the adjustment on the shocks do (the bolt that changes the angle of the lower shock bracket)?

thank you

Ride height mostly, though it can affect spring rage and damping -- softer when the spring/shock is leaning over more, stiffer when it is more straight up and down.

Thank you very much for the info
