Track Spring

[large52]

Can you replace the spring on the factory trackon a 05' 900? The shocks say ryde fx mpv. They look pretty cheap. I would like to put the 225 spring on. My current ones are not even ajustable. If you can't, what is the best cheapest spring you can buy?

If you're talking about the 225# front track spring that Carl's Cycle recommends, it's about $40 if I remember right ..

However, I don't think it's a good idea to put it on because it will cause you to trench more, and we all know how good the 900's are at trenching, even with an aftermarket skid

If you want it to steer better skis and spindles are really they only way to go about doing that.

Have the Carls spring on a 166 and never noticed any "extra" trenching but then again would you really want to respring a worn shock?

I meant to say track spring. Can you replace the spring on the steel ryde fx shocks?

YES...replace the stock spring with the #225lb one...you can use the same shock...well worth it

Put track spring on and changed position of limiter strap to the longest. Now the sled trenches horribly. Should I go back down to lighter spring or just put limiter strap in middle hole again or both. Please help 159" track.

tighten up limiter strap

Should I also put the original track spring back on?

 

[Z-Man]

no, keep the heavier track spring. Just take up the slack in your limiter strap.

thanks, i'll try the middle hole. Even with it on the third and last hole there is no slack which is surrprising.
