Nytro trying out a new front suspension

[OVR4D]

Hey guys, I think you want to be directing your questions to Seth Thorson ... Aaron is the photographer.

Hi Aaron, You guys looked very busy tring to get thinks set up so I refrained from coming over and bugging you guys. From the sucess you guys are having , you must be reporting back to the big guys on how this front suspension works ? When can us little guy's see something new on the Nytro?
Is that a new color blue or just something the racers came up with? It looked great.

Good luck the rest of the Year and kick some A....S !

Sorry Guys busy working on sleds.

Arron is the Photograher.

The racers you see in the Midwest are Nathan Titus Ross Erdman. Jake Jorgenson, Ben Lindbom and Seth Thorson(me)

Yamaha's engineers and people re involved in the race program s this is a factory effort. The color on the sleds was Yamaha's choice

As for handling yes that front end really shines and helps in cornering and stability of the sled. The sled is more predictable when it get harry and reacts the same almost every time. From racing both versions it is a big improvement.


As for us seeming busy when at the track we are constantly changing and testing things, however there is generally some time or a few quick min. to chat SO feel free to come up and introduce yourself and if we have a minute we would be glad to talk.


Thanks for supporting us

Here are a couple shots from Mercer

Any weight savings? Spindle moved forward like the skinz kit? Looks closer to an AC styl suspension.

Yes the whole front is moved forward. It is a complete new sub frame as well. It is very different than the skins kit.

It is lighter than stock

I see that you are running without sway bar on this front. Do you get much inside ski lift with that set up? How many PSI are you running in your Float X?

I saw your 2 vids on You Tube and enjoyed them, have a great racing season!

We have been running the 2012 RTX valving in the shocks. In the float x's we run 110 PSI. There ARE sway bars on every sled

You won't see a new front end on the Nytros this year, maybe 2014, but not the 2013 models.

I had to pay a close look at your pictures but I just notice the sway bar. I really like the fact they seam to be located above the lower a-arm instead of bellow. Better ground clearance. I hope that Yamaha will eventually come up with something like your ride for us. Thanks for the info on your shock set-up.

thats alot of air pressure but i guess it IS a totally different fron end.

I would like to hear some feedback/ comparisons to this front end verse stock. I love my nytro but have spent significant money on on shocks and a- arms to get it to work properly. I have been yami brand loyal since 1981 but enough is enough. Just cause they have the best motor they can slack on everything else? Yamaha get your head out of your a__ why aren't you updating the 2013? Sorry to take the op to rant but I would like to hear about your experience with the new geometry. Thanks.

I went from 65lbs to a 100lb, ease off the compression damping and like it much better. I must also say that I am running more preload on the front skids shock.

I'm running 130psi in my Float2's.
