kirk700 srx said:I see you still have the srx bushings on the tranfer rods with the long travel, You need to buy some viper bushings they are only an 1/8 of an inch thick this should extend your rods the right lenght it will give you an extra 1/2-3/4 of an inch of play!

marty f said:your rods are in the wrong holes they need to be in the back ones!!!!
bluewho said:Has the front end been lifted.If not the sled is trying to go down a hill/slope whatever?
There is no yamaha spec for this,it will be trial and error untill you have it were it will work.
timl1978 said:No not yet. I have the long travel kit for the front to install as well. Once I do that I will check it. It is definitely slanted towards the front. The rear of the track is off the ground. I just wanted to make sure the rods were the correct length. I measured a Viper and the top part of rod, top axle back to bolt on end it was roughly 12.5". The rod on mine is barely 12". That would lead me to believe the rods are too short as well as the front not being up.
bluewho said:You guys are all right...nobody wrong.The front of the sled has alot to do with the way the suspention works with the middle axle shock mount being pulled back when there is weight put on the seat.
If the sled is pointing down hill there is more weight on the skis and less on the rear,
That is why i suggested the wood under the skis to mimic the proper front height and try the rear travel.You will find the spacers will have to be changed again.Cut them down with a saw and when it is allready to install the bottom bolts back in the rods do not pull the rods down....only shim so they bottom out against the shim.
