Looking for thread about newer skis on 97-02 sled

[NorthernSX]

Been searching for weeks with no luck.
I once saw a thread that stated different heights for a 97-02 sled with viper skis, apex skis, ect.
It had how much lower each different ski would make a pro action sled.
Anyone know where to find it ???

Thanks

You lose about an inch between the saddled viper skis and going to the no saddle apex type skis. I’ll geep an eye out for that post.

the viper saddles skis where the same height as the 05 rx saddless skis i had. do you mean srx/sx skis?

What I am looking for is (assuming I have the factory SRX type saddled skis)
How much each type of ski will drop the front end, compared to the factory SRX type skis.
I know someone had measurements for each newer type ski.
ie. Viper, Apex, ect.

Thanks !

well all the oe yamaha saddless skis i have had (05 rx, 09 phazer, 09 apex mtx, 11 apex, 13 rs venture) where the same spindle height from the ski to the bolt for mounting them as the 02-04 sx viper saddle skis.

when i put 02 viper skis on the front of my 01 sx500r, it dropped the front of the sled , i want to say 1/2" but do not remeber as it was on the old ty site when i did it. i compensated by sucking the rear suspension limiters up that 1/2" so the skis would keep good contact.

when i put the 2014 sr viper skis on my et410 to replace the sx viper modded ones i had on it, it actually came up about 1/2" higher on the front.
