1994 vmax 600

have you ridden that skid before you put it in? my mom had one new, it rode terrible :( it is NOT an expert skid! boivin made an upgrade kit that was supposed to help, but mom just sold it for cheap a year later and ended up on an sxr 600 :)
 
Yes Correct its not an Expert X its a cheaper model based on the design and made for skidoo by Ad Boivin for the Formula Z 670 for the 1997-1999 models, these skids can be like sitting on a springboard in stock form and if your 180lbs + forget about it! This supsension does have the updated springs that are still avilable from AD Boivin. wich is a 100% improvement in ride quality hence the different spring rate. So, yes I am aware of the problems that were happening with the ARC/ARM suspensions, but with the upgrade and some preventative maintanance (greese well, & check bushings and re loctite all bolts) it with give a decent ride......and it helps that I am only 150lbs

cool, as long as you know ;) I didnt think that boivin actually made those for ski-doo though, and thats why they had to change the name in the second year, boivin was mad about something lol! at the time we had it I was only about 120-130 lbs and it was still completely uncontrolled and seemed like just a spring. be interested to hear how you make out with it, please let me know! mother in law has a 99 670 with that skid and if you can make it ride nice I will try to get that one to as well!
 
well here are a few pictures of the suspension in the sled.....just waiting for the mounting kit and fram side doublers from AD BOIVIN.
