stiff shocks on rtx

[82SRX500]

Guys, I had Bruce at Pioneer revalve my RTX shocks. Rode 140 last weekend and they felt awesome for me. I weigh 150 pounds with out gear, i have put the clicker shocks on the RTX up front, spring set on soft, front shock showing on thread, and 2 limiter strap holes pulled. Handled excellent. Call Pioneer and tell him to valve yours like he did for Jon Bertolino's sled.

Thanks,

Jon

Jon........what did you do with the floats....?

The Floats were sent back to Yamaha. I wanted to have the Anniversary Edition Nytro based on authoring the 40th Anniversary of the Yamaha Snowmobile for them. I worked out an arrangement with Yamaha Corporate to swap out the Floats for the Clicker Shocks on the RTX So I do not have them in my possession.

I also thought the RTX was stiff, well it takes some miles to get the suspension broke in and it will start working better. What I did was set the floats at 50 psi and now i am at 45 psi. Pulled the front strap up 1 hole, reduced the preload on the center shock to 1-2 threads showing. then set ALL the clickers to full soft (turned all the way out) and started riding. I stopped and made ONE adjustment a time! firming up a clicker 1 or 2 clicks at a time. remember you have 4 so this takes some time. I cant tell you what the #'s are and it dose NOT matter, every one is different. But the thing rides very nice now! It will never be a mono shock but I that is fine with me.
