Try this with a cat turbo!

Now extend the lift the rest of the way. LOL.

Ok. Track is off the floor though.lol.

Here you go. COG is further back than that even. Plus only 1/8 tank of gas in there.

Thats awesome! I will be sure to show this to all my 2 stroke riding buddies that all say that Yamaha sleds are to nose heavy!

It may be heavy but the weight is definitely about right under your feet. So you don't feel it riding. Reason I did this was to try putting skid plate on. Whole belly needs to be clear. Worked nicely but I must have gotten wrong plate since exhaust is in wrong spot.

I haven't played with the breaking point on the lift yet but you have to be close. My 07 xrs would be close to falling on it's face at that point. I know these aren't as bad as people make them out to be but they are more nose heavy then a 2 stroke. I'll have to mess with it tomorrow night when I put the skid plate on.

Guess you need to see it in person. Not even close to breaking the lift and I would say 20 lbs to get it to go nose down. My SRX would be on its nose for sure. Phazer is about same but foot wells are further forward. This is what you feel when airborn or deep powder.

Sweet. I've been more than careful when placing the lift under it then. When I said breaking point I didnt mean breaking the lift. I was referring to it falling forward off the lift.
