Limiter strap tearing with Star kit?

[Grantzilla54]

Hi guys,
I just bought a 2012 Xtx with 2700miles on it. I just ordered the Star kit for it and was wondering if I should
worry about the limiter straps breaking with the addition to this kit, I read some guys having issues with them tearing? Also is it recommended to move down a hole like Robert says, read some keep it at the stock setting for there liking, guess I have to experience myself?

Thanks

Haven't torn mine yet!

Mine still looks like new in 5700 miles, I moved mine a hole down.

When you say you " moved a hole down" you mean letting it out another hole or tightening it one hole?

Went tighter,

Up one hole on mine, running Star kit, saw this post and had to check but they look fine. There was a spacer Robert added between the plates to eliminate vibration wearing on the shaft but not sure if that has anything to do with straps tearing. If they do break and your running the front shock without the shim he adds on the revalve, that's supposedly big trouble under load.

Both of mine went after approx 10000km. I noticed them becoming worn before they went and ordered replacements so was prepared when they let go.

I would highly advise Star's front rear shock mod otherwise you will have some carnage if the straps go....in my case you almost didn't notice they were gone.

I pulled my straps one hole per Star's installation instruction recommendations.

Both of mine tore without the star kit. Installed star kit last year and no issues.

I was just going to add the kit without getting the shocks redone yet? Robert said the kit alone makes the biggest change,and I would be alright with just his kit.He didn't mention anything about the possibility of carnage without the shock mod? Guess I will call him again!
