Which suspension is better and why. It would appear that the Kmod would be easier on the wallet.
Does anyone have the number for Trail Tank??
Has Anyone tried a dirt bike muffler on a 4 stroke sled?
Thank you

all answers are yes...
Kmod cheaper...but cant beat the adjustability of the timbersled...have it, love it!!!!

The K-mod has alot of adjustment aswell. It has 8 different positions to put the transfer blocks and they can be changed in a matter of minutes. The timber sled you have to take it apart to put more of less transfer.
Have heard good about K-mod. I personally would go K-mod. Only have seen one and the guy really like it.
But I dont like the Timbersled. ALot who do though. Really light. Sold mine timbersled. I found it rode like a brick inorder to keep the front end kinda down.

to each his own...suspensions are a lot like Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge...but there are some simple principles that make adjusting each MUCH simpler...
the riding like a brick issue, is usually as simple as not over adjusting your suspension....
air, when compressed increases pressure at a compound rate...so it might have felt like bottoming out, when in reality, you were just hitting compressed air, and thus not fully using the travel of the suspension...
once you have the transfer shims in the Timbersled set for your riding (boost/n/a) you typically never touch that part again...it is just adjusting the air pressure for elevation and such, whic is super simple
Simple trick...

I tried it all. Did not like it. The Ford, Dodge, chevy is exactly right, I tried it all year and did not like it. I am not the only one who didn't like it.
I was running 17 psi though.

I have been told by several timbersled owners that you have to adjust the air pressure several times a day to get acceptable performance. You can't hit chutes all day and then go to the tree without adjusting it. Then again when you hit the rough trail. My.02.

I am going to call KMOD tomorrow and ask him why he thinks his would be better. I definately like to just ride. I would not necessarily say that I am dissastified with the suspension I mostly boondock and hammer some trails. I woud like upgraded shocks but If I am going to spend that much why not get something better and lighter.
What I meant by muffler was to run a like a yz muffler not a street bike. I would like to run the smallest muffler possible. I have the Glasspack on my vector and I really do not like it as it gives me cold start issues.
Thank you all for input.

We had great luck with the Timbersled set up. Proper shock PSI is important as is installation. I hope you were running 17PSI boost, not in your shocks or you had a pretty saggy ride!

Yes boost I should have been more clear.

I never changed the air pressure in my timbersled all year, don,t know why you have to change it through out the day, and sense when is kmod cheaper atleast all the prices I have seen they are alot more $ I ran 18-22 lbs boost all year steep and deep not a huge problem though it will stand on its tail on the steeper stuff, went 174 this year to help out.

I like the inexpensive K-Mod, if your not over 215lbs and not running boost you don't need the add ons from K-Mod. If your runing Boost I think for the money your better off going Timbersled unless it's small boost. You loose more weight and I think get a little newer design with TS.
With that being said I like the K-Mod for being able to set it and leave it without air variance depending on altitude and temp. I had big problems with this going from sea level to 6500 feet in a set of Floats and have had buddies with the same issue's.
From talking with K-mod if you have the rear coil over shock valved for your wieght it's done, then if you add more boost you can go with transfer blocks to help with ski lift. I prefer the Timbersled drop brackets, lighter and smaller then the K-Mod version, also cheaper! The guys that I've spoke to have been very impressed with the on and off trail ride of the K-Mod and how it get's up ontop of the snow "RIGHT NOW". Hope this was helpful some how. cheers...
