Scroll down until you see Transfer Enhancement Kit. What do you guys think? Seems like a very good idea to me. I'm constantly outwalked and can hardly ever get as straight as any of my buddies on their 2-smokes. Maybe this is the very cheap answer? Would you guys recommend removing those transfer bars and putting some belts there instead?

I did it and it helped, then my track ratcheting got much worse.

So you have that huge ratcheting problem too egh? Mine constantly ratchets. So in your opinion this wouldn't be a good idea?

I put the transfer kit on my 03 RX1 when I had it. Based on feedback here I didn't even bother trying the kit without first installing extroverts. I installed the extroverts, punched out the track and installed the kit.

I thought it was a good mod. It helps get the front end up when you hit the throttle (good thing for the way I ride).

tmk50, what doyou mean "punched out the track"?? Also, have you experienced much track jumping with the extroverts? (extroverts are anti ratchet drivers right? haha)

 

[tmk50]

The stock track on my 2003 RX1-M had closed windows on the track. So I had to punch out those windows when I installed the extrovert drivers to make them work. I took off the track and used sharp wood chisels to punch the track windows out.

My sled did not ratchet too bad prior to this work - I ran the track tight. But I knew when I went to the tranfer kit set up I would have issues. So when I did the transfer kit, I did the extroverts at the same time.

The kit works well, I also installed extros.

It can make trail ridding a little tricky. With no ski pressure that is

Said in the description it makes trail riding better. My trail riding is already really tricky with no swaybar. Nothing I won't get used to I'm sure. I'm planning on doing the extros if I can't find a cheap set anyway, I hate when my track jumps. Plans for the summer are '05 float bowls (hopefully make her stop running out of gas when she's vertical), extros, and now this kit if I can afford all of that. The bowls are a must though. Would you guys say this kit would make hill climbing bad though? I mean if she walks more then if I was climbing a near vertical hill would she be going back over on me??
