Never had either issue with mine.

I've never seen any of those issues either...

The venture is my first yamaha, all have been polaris except for a cat way back when...

Hope it works out for you, pretty easy swap. I had my X-10 set up for holeshots. I had the rear scissor blocks out, and the front limiter straps with about 1/2" of threads showing. Would pick up the skis about 18" from the dig and then settle them down to about 6-8" off the trail til about 75-80 MPH. I always liked the looks I'd get riding by a group of parked sleds and people @ about 15-20 MPH and then giving her hell next to em , watch them all stare when the skis are off the ground a foot til about 50...fun stuff...

Hopefully the reason you couldn't see them shaking thier heads was because you were looking ahead.

well thats the one thing missing is the blocks but i can get them otherwise the skid has freshly rebuilt shocks and the wheels are all good so i guess im going to go without the blocks at first i want to be able to pull them but not ride the back bar

If all you want is to lift the skies, loose drag races and beat yourself on the trail, redrill the rear scissor block holes in the rails back further. If the bottom scissor arm mounting point on the rails is in the correct location for proper skid geometry, the scissor arm will contact the rear wheels with the rear blocks removed so redrilling the block holes on the rails back a half inch or so will keep the scissor off the rear wheels and you can skyward the skies to your delight.

The blocks are there for adjusting the coupling of the front and rear so by removing or moving the blocks back, you're halfway or further in the susp. travel before borrowing spring rate from the front spring when trail riding so the big bump capabilities the xtra10 is noted for is pissed away with with ski lift.

You can get the skies in the air with the no-action you have in there now if thats all you're after.

no thats why i said id like to lift them but not ride the bar u r right i can pull 2-3 inches now and thats about where i want this when im done(i think) i know right now it lifts a little spins a little but goes like hell while it does it so i am thinking this 2-3 inches is probly about what i would want from the xtra10 so if i dont have those blocks i might mess up the wheels is that what u are saying because i am new so thats why i am asking the questions

I've just installed an Xtra 10 with Fox shocks from an XC700 in my Exciter II.

I'm not sure about your first point. When SnoGoer first tested the Xtra 10 it had about 8.5 inches of travel. But like you said there are different ways to measure.

The Xtra 10 front torque arm is prone to breaking, although it's not too hard to disassemble and weld. Check used skids closely. Also, the rear axle adjusters tend to break off of the side rails easily.

Do you have any pictures of your sled?
