Anyone found a solution to keep the front down on high boost. Running an 09TM1000 at 11-14lbs with the 162 powerclaw. I have the limiters all the way in, the rear in the low hole and am running 125 in the rear with the front on soft. It wheelies way too much to be able to climb really steep stuff even after the above changes. I did a search and saw what is posted but I didn't see anything from guys running boost or higher boost. Thanks

EZ-Ryde suspension? I find the same issue with both of my m's with no boost. I weigh in at about 230 and really have to lean over the front end to keep em both down. I couldnt imagine boosting a wheelie..........................

I don't have too much problem but I have extended my rails out and put a 174" track on it. 135# in back shock with front loose and limiters in middle hole. Ski's come up about a foot and level off. 12 lbs boost on m8.

Maybe slide your skid back an inch or however far you can while still maintaining front suspension bolt in reinforced metal area. Just a thought.

I moved the front arm back 3/4" on the rail. Seems to keep the front end down more.. I may go more, testing it again this weekend.

I would try more preload rear and front. The next option is geometry alterations.

My dealer runs 150psi in rear shock. I have enough of a problem with a y-pipe and can. It wasn't as bad in cooke but around here (western ID) I'm trying to climb over the bars to get it down. pretty fun on a wide open hill, just not in the trees. good luck
