Not sure if you are real, or a troll. If you are real then I cannot understand why you didn't make a simple phone call (406-686-4921) so that we could have helped you with your setup. Obviously it was not correct.

If the spring preload is added than they don't work correctly. Jus sayin many failures on any brand are caused by owners altering settings they know little about.
I am real, not a troll
Have heard nothing but good about CMX owners and products. I am confident my kit wasn't installed properly initially, hence my comment about a good dealer being important. After the KTM 450 blew up that my CMX kit was installed on, we put it on a friend's CR500, rode it in very setup spring snow and it wanted to wheelie -- again likely a function of suspension not setup right and the snow conditions and the bike it was installed on. I am not against giving CMX another shot down the road. My .03 experience is that what works for one guy might not work for the next, rider style and preference has a lot to do with it also.

its more than i expected from polaris. looks half decent.
they never lead the industry with anything revolutionary, other than that new rear suspension awhile ago. more of a copycat organization.
if you want cutting edge stuff, Polaris is not where you want to be.

How did you get that swap done without calling CMX? The bike adaptor for the KTM is the widest one on the market and will not fit a Honda....Now I see why it would not work on your stuff. When you bought it what bike did the guy have it on. This isn't a "what works for one may not work for another". This is a "without the proper stuff NO bike kit will go from a KTM to a Honda". Talk to us about the strut rod length? No company makes a fits every bike kit.
Don't know why some of you are whining about a purpose built snobike. The whole point for most of us is the fact that we already have a bike we can use summer and winter.
Most of us have given up on that Idea. we mostly do single track in the summer and a purpose build snowlike is no fun in the trails. They rip in sand dunes though
Agreed, my 570 would probably work nice in a quad in the summer, but single track trails, lol, I don't think so...Don't know why some of you are whining about a purpose built snobike. The whole point for most of us is the fact that we already have a bike we can use summer and winter.

Both Husa 570 and KTM exc500s work GREAT in single trail riding. Even when the trail gets really rough with stones, ruts, swamps etc both bikes still ride better than 350 and 450 bikes. We love them during summer too! Unless you wanna try out for national team or winning races you will do great on a 570 or 500.
My 570 is pretty built, idk that I am man enough to tame that beast with a tire on the rear...I also don't know if I make enough money to buy all the tires I would undoubtedly need.
My 530 on the other hand had a bone stock top end, that bike I loved in single track, but the 570...Different story all together!
Any how I have crossed over to the 2 stroke side for single track, 250 or 300 XC all the way!
