How many LB'S?

[sheetwright]

I am installing my new resevoirs from Muffinworks tomorrow. How many LB'S of pressure would you run in this set up. I am Putting this on a 08 Nytro RTX with Fox Shocks. I mostly do trail riding, but looking for a nice mix for when I hit the bumps. Thanks again Guys

Oh Ya. One more thing. Any changes in the suspension limiter strap yada yada recommended when increasing or decreasing pressure. I am 6'00" 230lbs. I know I will have to fine tune it all when I hit the snow. Just thinking ahead.

If you haven't already, send your Floats in to get revalved. Somewere near the Apex Specs. Then run about 50-75 psi. with the resi's and you will love it. Start out at 75 and work down as it's easier to let air out then trying to pump it up as someone is holding up your sled. If it feels tippy go down 5 psi. I really doubt you will bottom out at all, even at 50 psi it's going to take a huge hit.

Since I am a little new at this. What does revalving do for you? The sled has about 900 miles on it right now. Thanks again

If you haven't noticed already, the floats are pretty stiff and do not soak up the bumps as well as they should, not to mention it is hard to keep the sled flat around corners. What revalving will do for you is provide more of a plush feel without sacraficing any of the big bump capability.

Do a search on this site for Hygear and Pioneer, they are 2 players in the shock game. They both have packages for the Nytro.

Would you do the front and back? Also is the basic revalving set up they have enough? Don't want to be going back and forth when the snow is flying. Thanks

For the Floats the basic revalve will be enough. What your looking for is valving that is close to or identical to the Apex RTX. As far as the rears, if you have the coin, it definently won't hurt to get them done. They should put a progressive stack in that will help in the studder and bottoming department.

When I talked to Hygear today,they said if I do the back, and pull the limiter strap in one hole it would handle the bumps and horsepower much better, then just doing the fronts. I am hoping to be putting out 175-180HP, and don't want to feel like I am riding a rock. So I think I will do both. They think it will make it great on th etrails, and kick #*$&@ on the big bumps. Whats your thinking on this? Oh Ya! I told them I have one of those new adjustable square blocks for the suspension that ulmer, and Hauk sell, and he said to not use it with this set up. He see's no reason for this once the shock is correct.

Like I said, if you got the coin, do it. You won't be dissapointed with HyGear.
