SETTING UP AN ATTACK

[JERSEYJOE]

OK I have a buddies sled to set up. It's a 2007 Apex Attack. I need advice on setting up the front end, imit strap, rear shock set, and transfer rod length.

I did my Apex GT and it's perfect but the Attack is a different animal.

Correct me if I am wrong but don't both those sleds run the mono? If so, the set up should be similiar

 

[JERSEYJOE]

yes they are but I assumed the setup would be different for the long track?

Its all personal preference, I changed my 06 Attack's rear shock spec to a triple stage stack as opposed to the factory single stage. World of difference but I have it set up for my 170 lb body weight. If your buddies weight/ridding style is the same as yours, I would tune his suspension to your specs & fine tune from there.

Like ranger1 mentioned, its all personal preference.
Take the same approach to his Attak as you did with your sled for a primary setup. After that he will need to figure out what he likes and does not like.
When I setup my buddy's Attak it was easy. He rode mine for 20 miles and then said to me" Make my sled handle like yours".

Mine goes something like this: lowered front springs till rods are parallel to the ground, 13 mm bar, limiter in the middle holes, transfer bar in the middle of range. My shock was revalved by Pioneer and has 6.5 kg spring.

on his i'll do the same with the front and install the 13 mm bar, same goes for limiter strap. On the rear tension, what is the sag measurement?

I would set up Attak GT mono & front same as your Apex GT. The 136 will smooth out bumps better than 121 but key to my Attak setup was getting the mono rebound clicker set correctly & happy trails after that!
