who has put an arctic cat 128 by 13.5 skid in there yamaha?

Monker

I think Monker did one. You'll probably have to go to the 4 stroke side to find him now.

its tippy though, are you just going for the weight savings??

 

[yamaha_snopro]

no the skid i was looking at was form a sno pro, but i decided not to go that way.

 

[yamaholic22]

yup Monker did it, that's a decent suspension, but i think you can do better such as an edge or even an IQ, or the an SCIII from a skidoo, or a cat from a new f-series, or a MONO and stick with yamaha! Those are GREAT suspensions, those mono's.

 

[03viperguy]

Those are GREAT suspensions, those mono's.

darn tootin

 

[yamaha_snopro]

well i wanted to go with a mono but ive been advisted the they arent great jumping skids.

 

[yamaholic22]

That is definately true as well, they are not great jumping skids. Your style would be more fitted for the proactive torsion spring suspension from a nytro or vector.

 

[03viperguy]

true, very true. but man what a trail skid! I just gave tom my write up for a review hopefully it will helpa lot of guys install the mono just need one for the proactive now

 

[yamaha_snopro]

i was looking for a vector skid but cant seem to find one.

 

[shortstop20]

Put a Pro-X skid in there if you like to jump. They're awesome for jumping.

 

[yamaha_snopro]

i think im going top go with a arctic cat snopro skid there realatively cheap and straight forward to install with sno-xr's diagram.

I instaled my ZR Sno Pro suspension in the start of this season, worked awesome, wicked transfer, good ride, lighter, no track ratcheting, and best of all didnt break a darn piece. One of my best mods to date.

Could the 13.5" suspension have significant increase in MPH? I seem to remember reading that the thinner 13.5" track creates less of a fan effect and therefore has significant top end advantage over 15"? Does that sound right to you? Makes sense to me but i've been known to be a gullable guy lol.

 

[03viperguy]

should have better top end because of less wind drag. so yes, you are correct

 

[pro116]

yes you will see a speed increase with the 13.5".I think I'm putting one in my srx but mainly for lake racing.With the narrow track you will get a lot inside ski lift.I don't recommend the firecat skid for trail riding.

 

[03viperguy]

now thats sounds advice I always wondered about holeshot though, less of a scratch pattern, no?

 

[pro116]

not really.I have had firecats and tunes some of my buds race sleds.The have a longer track so traction is great when you put the studs closer to the rails for penetration and you can put them in the closed windows.They have less of a scratch pattern but more penetration because of the pressure point if that makes sense to you.

 

[03viperguy]

yes it does once lees thing on my list of " I wonder.." thanks!
