They were very expensive.

What issue are you having Fabio?

 

[WinderFab]

Ha ok.. no problem. I’m not having any sag issues with my sled but just wondering why some are having issues.

 

[WinderFab]

Though I will be sending you my shocks once I have the chance to pull them out.

If I had this issue I would be pulling both torsions. The short end should be at 90 deg to the long end. If its like the other its SRX springs. But ride it first. Maybe you will like it. Can also try softening the ski springs like SwampCat did.

Took 2 more turns of preload OFF of the ski springs and ...... most all of the dead sag is GONE.

This gets better. Standing behind the sled, push down on the bumper and watch the suspension movement, the skid slides in the track. Playing with it more today noticed the front spindles cocked back and the skis went forward, then when I let off the bumper the sled moved forward about 1/2". I thought I was seeing things. So pumped the bumper a bunch of times and the sled CREEPS forward every time. Had to sit down and get something to drink and think about this one.

Holy Cow! Look up 129" springs from a 14 Viper or 7000 Cat. They are also much stiffer. Cheaper too I bet.

Since January 1st Yamaha Canada raised their prices on all parts and accessories quite a bit, at least here in Canada..

Yamaha wants $79.95 for the knee pads and Cat wants $49.95 for the same thing. Go figure...

Sorry off topic but Cat prices seem to be way cheaper than Yamahas.
