Timberlsed barkbuster on nytro, who has it?

[SAWYER]

Is the barkbuster front end worth it on a nytro? Did you notice a huge difference?

 

[Timberwolf1050]

I have noticed a big diffference with the Barkbuster up front. Turns much tighter and really takes away from the twitchiness of the Nytro on the trails leading to the deep stuff. Just my two cents.

ditto, and when you go with a lightweight battery balances out the weight you pull off the back wtih the timbersled skid...

highly worth it!!!

Agent orange and Motley one have em' too. You know where to go if you want a new set for low $

 

[woodies]

where?CHEAP!count me in i'm looking for front and rear plus bumper!not so cheap!

Yah, I have the Timbersled Barkbuster. I think it turn 12 degrees sharper according to Allen. It turns so tight that it almost throws you off a bit. With the funky steering geometry of the stock Nytro it is almost a little to tight. I relocated my steering post so hopefully I won't be jabbing the handlebars into my leg when I turn all the way to one side or the other. I only put about 200 miles on it but so far I like it.

I heard they are updating the spindles due to bending issues. Anyone know about this?

The downside is that they are b@stard parts so if you have an issue you can't swap parts to get through the weekend.

There is an update to the Nytro spindles. Please feel free to call anytime and we will figure out if you have updated spindles or not. If you do not you can send them in before snow flies and we will update them free of charge. Thank you, Budd

Budd,
Whats the update to the spindles?

 

[rotax]

How can I determine weather or not I have the "updated" spindles.

I rcvd mine aprox a month ago. Don't wanna get them installed and notice they are not the updated ones.

Thanks

I would like to know also. I have a feeling that mine need to be updated.

 

[Tookes]

Budd, I'm with Rotax, I just got mine a week ago, would they have been the update ones? Thanks.

 

[Budd]

The strap that caps the top of the spindle should measure close to a 1/4" thick. This is the piece that the upper A-Arm rod end attaches too. The early ones were 1/8" thick. There has been a small percentage that have been bent so the up grade is optional not mandatory. Thanks, Budd

 

[WFO or go home]

If memory serves mine are thinner than 1/4".

Do you swap them or modify the ones I have. Thanks.

 

[Budd]

modify and re powder coat. Budd

Is that update available on all barkbuster front ends? I have it on an '04 rx-1 and I know the top straps are approximately 1/8" thick. I love the front end, but have had to send it in to have them straightened before.

 

[Budd]

The up date is for bent Nytro spindles. If you have abnormal wear issues with your RX-1 kit and would like us to have a look at it please send it in. Thank you, Budd

 

[WFO or go home]

I will check mine and drop them off next week if they need the update.

Thanks Budd.
