Lynx Rave RE RATTLING | Mid season THROWBACK ride 

Thats a great call! I hadnt thought about the ski alignment ill have to take a look at it.

Yeah he probably needs to upgraded to HD springs. I did decrease spring preload on the front track shock. I believe a softer front track shock adds ski pressure and the opposite reduces it. (Stiff FTS and softening rear shock and springs for max wheelies is how I thought it went haha)

@@Revrider550 yes your right I had It backwards! Still think he would definetly benefit from some heavier torsion springs keep more weight up front on the skis

Yeah I think the body is just catching up with him as of this last season. I've been dialing back my speeds as the years go on to accommodate him but even on relatively well groomed days he is having trouble staying on his side of the trail which is my biggest concern. More than anything that is what I want to make sure no longer happens. Or we need to get communicators so I can warn him about on coming sleds.

The Riot has a 6 inch round bar carbide on it. I personally don't think its the ideal set up for it but its what my dad is comfortable running on it. He's not very open to experimenting with set up. Relastically I think he needs HD torsion springs, to re-valve the shocks as right now they are under-valved for his weight, a shorter riser because he sits 100% of the time, and to experiment with some carbide options. I think the idea is that he will upgrade to more of a cruiser sled like a thundercat or something in the near future so we will see what happens. I run a 7.5 inch shaper on my Lynx and love it.

Also if you keep the Cat , try snow trackers medium depth. makes for easy steering, great in the turns with no darting.

Yeah I wish he liked the axys/matryx chassis more but he doesn't like how the chaincase/brake caliper push your feet/legs apart. He says it hurts his bad hip.... so unfortunately he can't ride skidoos or polaris's as a result and to be honest I dont think he will be able to ride the new catalyst either. Definitely time to just get his hip replaced I think.

@@Revrider550 I had friend with two hip replacement never had any pain, after both hips were done, serious heigh mileage rider, Thru his 60es 70 and some of his 80 before checking out. Think it’s a good move.
