Fox Shock Full Question

[snow11]

Hi all what is the max PSI in a fox full float shock in the front and what are you all running
I just checked mind and the old owner had them at 90 PSI

 

[Big_Phil]

Mine were at 95psi I think when I first got my sled, they are at 75 now and its much better. They were like rocks at 95psi, and the front was raised up

Ya mine looked like a 4x4 lol I put mine at 75 psi trying to get rid of the heavy steering so going start with the shocks and limiter strap

 

[Big_Phil]

The skis are the biggest thing with the heaviest steering. I put a set of Yamaha tuner skis on it, wow, night and day. My buddy just bought a set of tuners after riding my sled. Feels like I have power steering compared to the stock skis.

I find the floats are still pretty stiff at 75 psi, just don't want go much lower because it lowers the front end, I don't wanna be bottoming out on stuff.

I have my limiter strap set one hole from the loosest. Could tighten it a little more even without making it hard to steer, but I like to lift the skis at will

Hay thanks for the bit of information I'm in Maine we have a mix of trails here from wide open to tight twisty trails on the twisty trail it's like driving a tank

 

[Big_Phil]

Ya same type of trails here, lots of tight and twisty and wide open fields and lakes. They only negative with the tuners is they will push in the loose snow, but that can be corrected with a little throttle to break the rear end loose.

Where did you get you skis at

 

[Big_Phil]

From Yamaha, called the tuners. I have heard the skidoo pilot skis work well too. Never tried them personally on a nytro tho.

I have been running my shocks at 50 psi. It's definitely low in the front end but I can corner like I want to. I ride aggressive and never have an issue with bottoming. I do agree that the tuner skis push in the loose stuff, but they are the best thing for the Nytro. A word of advice, dropping the front end will improve cornering but make sure you check your toe-in after you b change the air pressure. I just about killed myself because it toes the skis in a lot if you drop it. Good luck.

Hay big Phil thanks for the tip on the skis like night and day WOW!! 125 miles much better AL must like my 07 phazer

Kury and thanks for that information as well I drop down to 70 psi all worked well may try 40 psi just to see how that works
