basically terrible. rough ride over whoops and tippy in corners.
Rough ride over whoops? Don't think so. The mono rail has no impact on the whoops portion. Yes tippy through the corners, but no issues through whoops.

Didn't say it was due to the mono rail but they are rough on whooped out trails.

I agree the air shocks are horrible. If you’ve got the hc shocks set em on clicker 1 rear and 2 frt shock and 2 ski they are great like this but if you rip real hard the tunnel will be black from track rubbing and might want #2 in rts

Depends on the whoops. Real tight single track frozen whoops hit the driveline. Drop and roll is super low and hits hard at the foot area. But a bumpy trail is no problem. 45 front shocks. 65 track shock. Rear shock 135. If I want to boogie on the trail rear shock goes on #2

230lbs. Seat bag full off tools. Plus small gas can and storage bag. For a trail in decent shape 135 on #1 rear shock works good. Like I said if it’s bumpy And I wanna ride fast with weight on the tunnel just click at the number two

The motor popped? Bad like throwing a rod or just a new set of pistons
Not sure yet, shop will get it when they open tomorrow. I suspect top end as the crank has a bit of movement. Everything is still contained in the motor.

How long were 800 Etec's lasting you? Seems like lots of the Ctecs go down around 2000km.

had 4500km or so on one and 6500 or so on the other. Neither blew but cranks were out of spec. The one with 6500 had more compression than the one with 4500.

That sucks. At least it’s the end of the season not mid season
