I got a 98 Vmax 600 Sx and i believe the transfer rods on it have no adjustment... is there a way i can adjust it without getting new ones? if i cant then what are the cheapest adjustable ones can i get?

You can adjust by taking them apart and changing washers every time, or get a set of max perf or bender or hauak rods. Maxdlx

Well there are adjustable rods & then the stock ones (not adj) Here is a pic of mine ( adj type) they are the silver knobs on the rods, Now you said stand up your 600 twinn this does not lift the rear end up for more travel if this is what you mean, if you want more travel you will have to get long travel shocks! This is what I did this summer.

the adjustable transfer rods from maxxperf our called quick rods,they replace the factory set.well worth the money,they have 7 line on them you turn them up for more weight transfer by counting the lines shown.but just to warn you if you turn them all the way up for full transfer (to hang the skis)is not recommeded to ride it this way as you are at risk for damage to the suspension.i run my sx at 3-4 lines.Get rid of the factory rods,to much of pain to take apart and swap out a thicker washer.and im sure you can find a set on here reasonable price.
a cheap way to adj. stock ones is to buy diff. size spacers and "pac-man "them or cut a pie slice out and clip them on and off according to rider preferance.

I had a 97 600 sx. I put in the maxx performance quick rods and there long travel kit. with the straps pretty loose and the transfer rods set for a lot it would pull the skis good. I wouldnt recomend it though, it was fun for a few minutes then I came to a corner. couldnt take the corner fast, it wanted to tip. I promptly set it up for nice traction but not so much as to launch the skis in the air. my $.02

Do you guys think i could get the skis up now? even when its stock?
doubtful... as for running the suspension w/full transfer you will end up breaking stuff,w-arm etc....

honestly, I doubt it. you are down 15ish hp and he has powervalves (I think) and standing it up looks cool but is quite counterproductive to going forward. in other words, not the best for a drag race. want it so it hooks good but settles the skis down afterwards. thats why drag racers tie down the suspensions honestly, try and talk with some of the guys here that race LOTS of GREAT info and people on this site! and post some pics of your sled, I miss mine and want another one day lol

I think on the trail (smooth trail) you have him hands down. straight drag race, dont count on it. might be close though, I was wrong too...no powervalves. thought it was the same motor as the xc. still a bit more power than yours.

yes, for holeshots and acceleration, but hurts the top end...

how much will it increase my acceleration and how much will it affect my top end? cuz top end to me isnt really something i do all the time i like to move quick through the trails
