Warrior Handling; Take in Them Straps"Goodwin Pewrforma

[LazyBastard]

But no matter what you say.. a warrior or rage will not handle the same as a standard Rx-1 or vector..

Of course not, by sucking up the limiter straps to move the center of rotation backwards, you loose that "light" feeling on the front end... get some of that bulldozer effect. Thats one of the three reasons I moved my rails backwards instead of using a longer rail extension. The other two reasons are, of course, reduce the approach angle for deep snow and top speed, and, too much rubber on the ground is TOO MUCH - there is a limit to the amount of rubber I want to be muscling sideways across a trail.

The 05 mountain skid looks pretty slick though with the curved rails. Best of everything. Reduced approach angle, plenty of track on the trail, lots of length for deep snow, AND, curved up at the back so its not *too much* to steer.

That rail curveup in the back on the mtn model was a slick move by Yamaha. Can cause serious wheelie problems though when used in conjuntion with a Turbo !

Wheelies are fun :twisted:

Mighty, when you shorten the front limiter strap, you preload the front suspension shock more and close the coupling gap slightly. This will allow you to soften the rear of the suspension "slightly" as well. If transfer is still a problem, you may adjust the transfer rods or coupling blocks to allow a little more weight to come off of the skis under acceleration.

.

I agree suck up the front straps and make adjustments on the rods and springs and you will be surprised. You will not lose any transfer.

I agree with welter. You have to let the limiter out to reduce ski pressure, otherwise the steering will wear you out.
