Its all in the set-up. If set up properly it rides like a cadillac. :Rockon: :rocks:

Oak - I tried the setup that you told me to do and it didn't help.....nothing setup wise has helped.

Why did Yami drop this skid after only one year??!!!! I know why...they screwed it up! Understand I am PO'd about this but when people out there say that this is a good skid, you must have been riding Vipers or early 90's Doo sleds all your life. THis suspension sucks!!!!

I could ride 200 or 300 miles per day...now I ride 140 and I have a sore back!

I checked out the 06 Mono on a Vector tonite with the assistance of Mr. Sled. Now that feels like what a suspension should!


Saying it "sucks" is your personal opinion. I'm sorry to hear that you're unhappy with yours. There's plenty that aren't with theirs. My personal opinion is that it rocks. I come off a 300 mile day and I've never felt better....tired, but not beat. The only thing they should of done different was to add better shock in the rear. The geometry and capability of its design is excellent.

To each his own.

My guess is that you've been riding Yami's since the 80's. If that's the case you don't know what a good riding sled is cuz you never rode one....but that's just my personal opinion.
 

I demo rode an '05 Vector last winter and the trails were pretty rough that day. I thought the Vector rode very well. It soaked up the bumps better than my '01 600 XC does (EDGE skid) and had much less rebound (so that it doesnt punt you butt up off the seat all the time).
If he wants a smooth ride, Id go with a Vector ER or Vector GT because they have the Monoshock RA. The Monoshock rides REALLY nice.
