Boost khaos suspension set up

[ragincajun]

I’ve got a 23 khaos boost 163 3” and I’m lookin for some input on front and rear suspension set up. First off, it feels heavy on the front end. Second, it trenches pretty good…first 3” track so maybe it’s the track….or is it skid set up? 3rd I love how playful it is but sometimes a guy wants to keep the front end down. I’m pretty ignorant to setting up a suspension but since I’ve got the fancy chit for once I may as well play with it. I got it late in the season so I haven’t put much time on the sled.

Tightening your rear track shock will help keep the front down somewhat. Since there isnt much adjustment on the fts, so you can only do so much.After market rear track shocks will give you more adjubility. Theres only so much you can do with the factory shocks. And that goes with the front as well. I have the fox coil front and rear and it makes a big difference. Just my opinion

Op is a bit disjointed ...front heavy but then asking how to keep front down?
Might need to clarify riding style a bit more ....

I like the trees and a little climbing.

You realize The OP has velocity shocks per the title “Khaos”?

Tighten low speed compression on rear track shock to tame the wheelie. (Or loosen it to go wild)

Tighten front track shock spring preload to help with heavy front end, (too much will trench)

Lose 20# off the front of your boost sled by spending cubic dollars. (Lighter wallet free bonus)

It’s a boost.

Nose heavy off boost.

Ski’s up when boosting.

love how playful it is but sometimes a guy wants to keep the front end down. This is from the original post. I didn't write it. I love my khaos, but I also like how I can tame it down with aftermarket shocks, if I want to.

Yeah I think with a 165 the velocities can tame it.

155 track and or over 200# = overpower the velocities.

I’m running coil QS3’s and a 155 300LX on my boost.

It still flips over on flat ground in lockout mode.

(But I’m 230#)

Low speed on the rear shock plays a big roll in how the sled plows into wheelies. On my 155 boost khaos it's fully stiff unless the snow is hard and I wanna just goof around.

Little preload on the FTS helps a lot. Also I think firming the ski shocks some helps hols the weight bias of the rider back. The boosts nose down really hard and the front sort of collapses ans the skis plow. Makes foe aome very crappy feeling riding. While the stiffer ski shocks can make for slightly heavier steering it helps yhis diving a lot.

 

[trees happen]

More preload on front track shock, and shorten limiter strap.

The 3” polaris track is going to trench a little more than the 2.6 or 2.75 Polaris tracks. My boost khaos with a 2.75 155 has a pretty good balance with playfulness and keeping front down when you need with setting up the shocks. Then traded out the 2.75 for the 300lx 3” track and it was a monster tree rider sled. The doo/Lynx/300lx is a much less trenching track than the Polaris 3”.
