Hygear twisted springs

Found a brand new swaybar at one of the dealers nearby. Good thing because they are on backorder until next winter.

Those don't seem like they have a backorder problem to me. Country Cat has 5+ in stock.

Thats good.
If you try to order one from Yamaha they are on backorder.

Cat one is cheaper too by about $10.

I try to order any and all parts that are related to the chassis using the Arctic Cat part numbers. No sense in paying extra for Yamaha packaging and their sticker over the Cat sticker. On the flip side, my brother-in-law has a 17 ZR9000 and orders the Yamaha part numbers for any engine-related parts (for the same reason).

Any more input for dual spring setup in front?

 

[max rolph]

only got a 500 mile ride on them at end of year up in Cochrane Ontario, i set it up for 2.5" sag and they wrked great

With QS3-R's? Did you get/have Thundercat rear torsion springs too to lower the rear? Or did you do like the GT's with power stearing with lower front but regular height torsion in the rear? Is 2.5" sag same as SRX/Thundercat multi-rate springs?

To bad hygear don't sell them in black.

i have the 2020 IQ"s, did the front shock sptrings as pic above and the front skid shock spring and changed shock to the 2016 XC 6000 race 20 clicker. the stock shock is chinese junk fox look alike. i set my sled up soo when you lift rear and set it down the whole track hits ground at same time.

 

[Phatboyc]

I was told the twisted dual springs don't lower the front as much as an SRX\thundercat multi-rate spring. Or perhaps when you ordered, Hygear already took this into account?

Edit: I see your previous post when you say you cranked the preload to get 2.5" sag when previously you had 3" to 3.5" sag.

 

[max rolph]

i had lowered dwn then the rear of track was up, so i then did soo i had 2.5 and track hits even. at 3-3.5 was almost same hight as stock. i would have had to such track limiters up to get track flat... it transfered good . lol

Anybody run these?

Yes, I ran them on my 2014 ZR9. They worked really well on the front ski shocks and on the front skid. The sled handled the stutter bumps better than stock and the skid shock worked better than stock in the rough stuff.

Has anyone successfully installed the Hygear kit on the standard front Fox 1.5 RC shocks that came on a 17 LTX SE? I bought a kit from Hygear last March but I am just getting around to trying to install them now. First, the upper spacer collar won't fit over the widest part of the lower shock mount. Second, the adjustable crossover ALSO will not fit over the lower shock mount (end of the shock shaft). How in the hell do they expect these to work?? I even gave them my year/make/model & shock model when I placed the order. There's no way they expect the shock to be taken apart to install the upper parts. Sounds like I am going to have to give them a piece of my mind on Tuesday. If they don't have a solution, they better be refunding me in full AND providing a return shipping label.

Perhaps they sent you the wrong stuff and will get it right?

Maybe... but at this point I am less than impressed with them. They were little to no help before I bought the springs and now this.

During a shock refresh when shock is apart they can be installed. The Accelerated Tech ones are same way. They should have told you.
