mono is great with the better spring in it and setup right, i really like it compared to the m10 myself

I notice the ZL type & the ZR have a little differant front swing arms
Interceptor700, Got any pics of the finished project?

SRX MAINE said:Interceptor, So your front arm is like the ZR one I have posted.
Not really a full pivot shaft, just some though bolts?
How do you tell that? Where is the coupling mechanism located or what does it look likei would recommend the newer ones that are coupled
There will be small plastic blocks on the inside of the rails behind the rear sissor arm, back near the rear Idler wheels.SRX MAINE said:How do you tell that? Where is the coupling mechanism located or what does it look like
SRXer said:They limit the amount of travel the rear arm has, when it hits the blocks, it transfers some of the force then to the front arm. I had a 2001 ZR800 without them, and an 03-900 with them. I rode the 900 for one month, then removed them, and never put them back on. You can adjust the skid so you are not wheel-standing all the time. And you can have oh so much fun too when you want. I think thew scissor arms on the coupled skids were a different part #, and stronger to resist bending when they hit the blocks, so you could have issues adding blocks to an 01 skid, or you could buy the stronger pieces. I'm sure I'll get ripped for this,but IMO the Cat skid is way better than any Yammie skid, excluding the Mono, as I have not ridden one. Once you know how to set them up, which is easier than a Pro-action BTW, you can make them ride whatever way you want to.
PS if you ride hard do NOT buy the ZL skid. Lots of spring options for the ZR skid, and they are reasonably priced.
BTW N2oiroc, no offence, your buddy doesn't know how to set up a Cat sled right. Tell him this winter to tighten up his limiter straps by 4 threads on each side, and increase his ski spring pressure by three turns, and then take it back out! I bet he's![]()
