If anyone is looking at clutching for their new Axys 850, Carl's Cycle Sales already has a setup ready to go. They were able to test last year, and dial in a setup. Give them a call if you want any work done! Phone number is 208-853-5550!

Agreed, they do a good job. I had it done on my 2017 and would say it was the biggest improvement for the $$ I have done on any sled.

I would love to do the revalve, if only my 850 were here!!<div><br></div>

I've had my share of polaris's why do you think I'm a troll. And over paid for Carl's services too.

I wonder out of 12k posts if one of them ever contributed to the discussion......

I would use Monster Performance for shock re-valves. Good service and less money than Carl's. When I called Carl's to ask about pricing on shock work the guy was short and rude over the phone. The turnaround time was long and the price was very high that I was quoted. Ian at Monster is super good to deal with. Just my 2cents.

And for the money you will pay for just a re valve you are half way to this https://www.raptorshocks.com/ stand up customer service on each.

Used Gas Shock repair once. Came back a wet hot mess.

If you want to save a little money and have an awesome set up. Call Rogers in Cody. They use all the TRS set ups. It just flat works. They won’t have 850 set ups till Tony hits the snow. It will be worth the wait.

We have tested a bunch of revalves and clutching. TRS is always well above the rest.

Not knocking Carl's but I do agree with going with Andy. Good dude, incredible attention to detail and pricing that is a fraction of Carl's...

"wet hot mess"?

Doesn't sound like Andy at all. He's the most stand up dude you could ever meet.

He was given instructions. Once they came back a check on the shock dyno reviewed issues. Came back with different shim stack than asked for. Not even close. Fronts didn’t even match. List goes on. He may be a stand up guy, but won’t see my shocks again.

Have you ever checked shocks after getting them back??? We check them all.

I live near him and have had him do a few things for me, on the sled side he's been incredibly good.

Maybe I just got lucky? I don't know, but when I didn't like the valving on my moto fork he changed the tune entirely free of charge.

...but no, if I was going to crack open the shock myself, I'd just valve it myself.

 

[Spaarky]

We cracked them open when the dyno showed irregularities. Otherwise we don’t.

Did you give andy the chance to make it right?

There is a Snowest member discount of 10%!

So you have the nitrogen pumps, a shock dyno, and are familiar enough to dig into shim stacks........If I had all those toys, paying someone else to valve my shocks wouldn't even be a consideration. I might buy some pistons but I'd definitely be doing my own work. I might pay you for some dyno checks actually haha.

I've had andy do a few different revalves and if there's a theme, I'd say he tends to go a little soft (but these were mostly arctic cat shocks which seem made for trail bashing sleds carrying a family of four). Kind of an over correction. But he also redid them.

If you got two different valves on ski shocks, that's just a mistake, one I can't picture andy not fixing. I don't know.....no complaints here. I've got a holdover 18 axys coming and if I don't like the stockers that's the first place they're going.
