i hear that.
hey, you have the rmk version right? my last one was an sks. I see why you were talkin about raising the front a few pages back now, this rmk sits loowww. the sks i had previously had easily 2" more travel. ski alignment was kinda goofy when i narrowed it. anyways... i think i will just level this one out a bit with a minor setback and 151-159" track, maybe 2.25" if I find a newer rmk chaincase...
:beer:
 
Ya, they sit way low, like to plow in deep snow. best way to lift em up is newer spindles and shocks off a newer sled. I think like 99-03 rmks had the longer spindles and shocks.

I fit a 2.25 by going to a 7 tooth driver instead of the stock 9 tooth I believe.
 
hmm i do not recall the 98-99 setup having longer spindles. maybe the 00-01? its been too long...
i dont think i will bother with longer shocks or edge chassis stuff on this. feels good to have another one sittin in the shop again tho! old school.:cool:
 
My dad's '99 RMK has the longer spindles.

I do love the old iron, I just wish I could get it to climb like the new stuff. What I think I need to do is buck up and put a newer style rear suspension in it. Still need to put some cone filters too.

I've been riding a Cat 900 last few years, climbs like a billy goat, but rides a lot like the older polaris's with the heavy front end.

mine has an slp airbox, seems to fit perfect. never knew those fit the ultra..
I would draw the line on replacing the suspension personally.
them older x-10 suspensions are good for steep stuff with the rear scissor arm stops in place. I had more control climbing with my old one than my last 02 rmk 151 anyways. what helix you runnin?
 
^i found the 42/34 helix slp reccomends to be too aggressive for the ultra in the mountains. straight 36 that came stock in my old SKS was perfect. This one has a straight 34 :eeek: maybe that was stock in an rmk? ill be swapping in a 36 anyways.


Anybody go to the sno expo? i snuck over sunday and scored some old school slp skis for $30, 3 way egt with probes for 30, and a complete spare motor for $50.
the skis raised the front by 3/4" and are wider ta boot. good to see some white stuff on the passes:beer:
 
I went Sat morning. New stuff was selling fast. Didn't see many sleds go away but I was mainly inside the gates. Bought me new boots, a black Motorfist Composite helmet and a S1+ transmiter. :D
 
I was up the 7220 getting Xmas trees. A couple feet of new snow. I might take the sled up Sunday 12/9.
 
12/9/12 :hi:
