Weight transfer adjustment or ski lift on '11 RTX

[RTXSteve]

I want to be able to bring my front end up a little bit to get over bumps, water holes. I have an '11 Nytro RTX. The manual shows an adjustment in the back of the skid. I do not have that set up. Can you tell me what I need to adjust to get some ski lift? Pics would be great.

Thanks,
Steve

You can remove the coupler blocks from behind the rear pivot/swing arm. You'll have a ton of ski lift then. I ran it like that for several hundred miles and never had any trouble...except trying to turn when the skis are in the air.

Yeah I have the same problem with my xtx, I ride off trail a lot and would like my front end to lift more, I dont really understand what the owners manual is saying to do with the shock absorber and rear torsion springs, too many technical words for me I guess.

Shorten the transfer rods for more ski lift I believe.

The RTX and the XTX have different suspensions. On the rtx you can remove the coupler blocks behind the rear pivot arm for max transfer. On the xtx you have to adjust the transfer rods...I've never played with the xtx though so i can't comment further.

The transfer blocks are held on with one bolt/nut on each side. They're white plastic...you'll see them.
