jonlafon1 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 She is TIGHT. But I did manage to get a belt on after installing clutch. 3 torq 25 screws on the lower panel helps a lot. Tuck belt down in and turn clutch. Wasn’t as bad as some have made it out to be. This is with a thicker cover also. Ripped it in the yard today. Feels real nice “Clark”. Real nice. I like.

'we don't because of the costs associated' was the canned (pun) reply. I look at it this way... everyone of these manufacturers regardless of brand fits a muffler (MUFFLER) that meets the specifications they are required to while delivering as much performance as they possibly can (pun) and if an aftermarket manufacturer could wouldn't they be screaming from the mountain tops that they did? this being said and being truthful, IDK if the aftermarket muffler (not a can) on my not close to stock sled would pass a DB test... probably right on the ragged edge if it does. when I'm on it I try to be as mindful as possible as I don't want attention from land owners or Leo's. the douche nozzles with race cans and mountain cans... those are the ones I detest. Cousin is putting this weapon together. If this thing doesn’t close down trails I don’t know a better way to piss off a land owner.

I might ride that at the bridge ride next year if it runs long enough to make lol.

Crnr2Crnr Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 (edited) so, it looks like we're back to the SnoPro days @Not greg b@taperk600 @krom based upon what Greg told me about his first ride I'm thinking... Base ZR 129 uses 95lb ski springs (10.5"L) and a 90/250 dual rate FTS spring (8.25") RXC uses 120lb ski springs (10.5 p/n 3703-704) and a two piece FTS spring with a 170/250 rate (3704-039 & 3704-036) Being that they're using basic 2" non resi IFP's... change the base model over to the 120lb ski springs and for the FTS spring the old tried and true 210lb straight rate 7.5" SnoPro spring (pn 1704-822) then adjust valving and rebound for the IFP's with Carver from there. idk about the torsions yet... I run 120lb'ers on the stock 500 rather than the 140's but had Mike give them a bit more rebound on the last service. tried the dual rate on the stock 500 FTS IFP but abandoned it when I switched up to DSC's and went back to the straight 210lb The ski springs are $38 each and the SP FTS spring is $70 so imo it's cheap enough to try it.

Crnr2Crnr Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 (edited) ok... torsions. ZR 129 uses 0.359" 100 degree 12lb torsions RXC uses 0.394" 90 degree 16.5lb torsions for the 129" they made a heavy spring kit with a pair of torsions that are the same as the 24 RXC uses... 8639-544 which is $145 for the pair. so there's hope...

Yeah it was a couple hundred off msrp. The msrp on mine was 13,700. That doesn’t count the windshield, studs, skis, belt, couple gallons oil I got. my last 2 800rr were in the low 14s out the door and my 2015 tucker was 9300 out the door as a carry over. Sled prices have gotten really bad the last 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike isn't exactly a fan of those shocks... But AC was retailing them for $99.95, before jumping the prices on them.. I'd venture a guess that they cost less than $15 to manufacture at that time given the number of times they got marked up (manufacture to ac, ac to dealer, dealer to customer) years back one of the parts folks accidentally told me how little they paid for a 2 stroke 90 atv piston.... it was under $5 Edited January 8 by krom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
