Agree with Maxwell on the air only shock. I know Fox has made big improvements but still feel a $$ sting from the early days of trying to figure them out. When we switched to Coil-overs on the bikes it was night and day difference too. If I’m still wanting after the FreeRide shock then will...
I have a set of the HD springs but wanted to try the rear shock first. Yes they put the summit x rear shock in the T850 and it has a higher rebound and compression setting but I wonder if the adjustability would be better in different conditions? HD springs with better adjustable shock is worth...
So far it seems to be suspension setup. Changed the riser and that helped but I’m not a fan of the rear skid shock. Have an Expert take off to try this week and we will see. Shock off the FreeRide might be an option before doing away with the coil springs. Turbo is great in the technical stuff...
Rode my Expert for 3 days then got distracted with a 850T. Been riding many years and have never had a machine that worked so well out of the crate. So far I’m still thinking the Expert handles technical stuff even better than the 850T but we are slowly making changes to see if it can work the...
As more people ride this sled in technical terrain they will be amazed at how well it behaves and how smooth and predictable it is. Those that want to just point and shoot in open areas might think they need more but this sled will get you wherever you need to go and best of all ..... no...
Moisture will accumulate inside of covers due to temp differential between inside and out. Had mine pop a belt too but was really hard on that side doing some sidehill riding but the case as completely packed with snow. Need to keep an eye on those situations for sure but the new case should...
Reason they use a chain is because the TS drive framework flexes so much. Can't keep a belt drive aligned or tensioned never mind trying to keep planetary gears engaged properly. Was going to put one on but decided to go YETI instead.
On the turbo idea, I had the turbo on the stock 500 and it did make more power but this year did a 610 bigbore and a new ecu with the rev limiter adjustment and !!! Big gain with just the BB.
Do a bigbore first along with the ECU and a YETI 129 kit. For Engine mods talk to Corrie at Brewster...
a bit of kaaching involved but when the guy on the 174 sled see's the grin on your face when just pulled the same climb it's hard to put a number on that !!
