Suspension Setup for Maximum Transfer

[Cummins88]

Hi guys,

First off I know that the SKS isn't a Freeride type wheelie machine.

I ride 90% of the year at lower elevation but off-trail (creeks, hydro lines, etc)

I love the feeling of lifting the skis and just floating. Before anyone says I bought the wrong sled for wheelies it's not the case. There are a couple times a year we travel to higher elevation and I absolutely wanted the nimble monster of the axys SKS.

Now my question is what setup can I do to allow for maximum transfer when I'm not up in higher elevation.

My plan right now is loosen RTS and tighten FTS. I noticed the front straps don't have adjustment and that the front skid angle is fairly low so it would possibly jam up in the track if someone was to loosen the strap.

Thanks,
Mike

Just like you described loosen rears track shock and tighten front track shock limiter strap is non adjustable. They don't wheelie like the ski doo's.
