2001 SRX Saddless

[BLUEBYE]

Some of you know by VIPER S. I had to change that because i parted ways with the most beautiful looking 2 stroke machine and bought a new 2001 SRX. Will Yamaha's saddless skis fit the SRX? or has anyone tried the new Slydogs?

The saddless skis will fit, but you will loose like an inch of ride height because of the lower bolt hole location on the ski.

I put saddless RX1 skis on my SRX, but also put Viper trailing arms & spindles to make up that inch or so loss from the shorter SRX arms & spindles

BUT, you could also flip & reverse your upper shock mounts to get the ride height back

Does this make sence?

Ya, i'm installing a mono skid and putting longer shafts and different valving on the front so that 1 inch should'nt be a problem right?

 

[SRX MAINE]

putting longer shafts and different valving

Longer shafts in your shocks?
That will increase your travel enought to compensate for the loss on the lower ski bolts on the saddless skis, but I think you will still need to go higher to compensate for the long travel the mono is going to add.

I'm doing the Viper rear 11.5 travel & this is what I did:

Viper trailing arms & spindles to compensate for the lower saddless ski bolts
& flipped the shock mounts to compensate for the Viper rear long travel
(this lifted the front 1.1/4in ride height, not travel)

why did you go from the viper s to the srx? new left-over? jsut too hard to pass up? nice sled, they rock

All around Performance!! throttle response, gas milage, handling, Don't get me wrong i loved the viper but i found a brand new spanking SRX still in the box. And added the mono skid and long travel front suspension, ripsaw, ect.. I had too. I thought about piping but that gets exspensive when things don't go right.

Saddless skis will fit provided you install 2 longer bolts 90105-10106, 2 new bushings 90387-10036, and 4 spacers 90387-16013. I found the height is about a carbide thickness lower (1/4 "), although i used modified mounts to get the front end higher for my Ohlins.
