Performance dampers

[greatwhite89]

I know this is a Hail Mary, but does anyone have a lead on a set of performance dampers? Potentially looking for a set for my 2020 RS Venture TF. Thanks

You mean one of these? Saw this post on ebay the other night. Unfortunately, it is only for one.

Yeap! You could get them on 2016 and 2017 spring order Ventures, but not the 2020. Thanks for sharing..still loving your 50th Apex?

Yes, am still loving my 50th Apex; especially the EPS and YRSS. Never rode a Singleshot with the smaller Fox Float shock so can't compare the larger one my Apex has to it but it is a much better ride than my 40th Apex which I still do ride as well.

Unless you want to wear a Kidney belt when riding. I can assure you the larger Fox Float on the Singleshot is better!

the up dated one is a must on the singleshot xtx as the one they spec the sled with was junk and i put in 500 miles on it before i upgraded it.

Hello,
I am looking to upgrade my front shocks on my 2020 RS Venture and noticed your post about Fox Shocks. I purchased it pre-owned last season and love the machine! My local trails have a great deal of moguls and tight turns though. The sled was a little tippy at times and rode hard over the moguls. I realize I have to learn how to tune my shocks, particularly the rear one, but I noticed you said the Fox shocks really helped to address the tippy feeling on your machine. I think I found the same shocks from this supplier: https://www.ridersdiscount.com/fox-...ile-shocks-pair-for-yamaha-850-23-219-1006076. They are listed at $795.00 for a pair so I want to make sure they are worth it, and fit my sled. The applications stop at the 2014 RS Vector but it appears like they may fit your 2020 Venture in place of the coil over shocks.

the venture is tippy compared to the vectors/apex sleds. i rode a whole bunch of miles on one back to back with my brother on his 2013 with me on my 11 apex xtx. we did improve his some by putting on the spare set of gytr front shocks i have for my apex. all the delta box II/III sleds other than the mountain sleds, use the same front shocks.

if you search under my name i posted the suspension set-up we used on my brothers venture and it works pretty well.

Thanks for reaching out on this topic. I could not find the post about Venture dampener setups, under your profile name. If you have a moment to send the link, I will be sure to check it out. Much appreciated!

Main - Your suggestions worked great! I rode about 125 miles this past weekend and this sled handled nicely. Well, as nice as it going to get riding a 2up touring sled on twisting forest trails. I was able to keep up with the pack and I felt in control. --- Thank you.

here is a link to the set up i made for the torsion spring rs venture sleds.

Thank you! My sled is in storage but I will make adjustments to the dampeners, using your suggestions. I appreciate your help!
