Ok so I have been hearing that you can't put a new t-motion kit inside of my Xp rails !! Is this true ?

I also heard that in order to use the new kit you must have rails from 2010 and up, is this true ??

Can a guy just customize the 09 rails to work, if so what has to be done. Is it the shock mount position ??


If this customization can not be done, does anyone have a set of 10 11 rails for sale ??
Thankyou soo much !!

Buddy did his 09 154 with no special mods.......pretty basic upgrade he said

I just bought a used t motion for my 10.

The guy tryed to put it in a 09.

The front shock and lower mount for it ( shock is longer ) is the difference. The rails them self don't think are the problem.

With the shorter 08-09 shock it binds and only gets 3/4 of travel.

So you are saying that the shock that you get in the kit is. A little bit to long for the bracket mounts and then it binds ?
so what do you think I should do ?
Thanks

The 10 and newer had a longer front shock and farther back mount for the longer shock.

Get him to check it cause it will bind and break the shock. There have been lots on dootalk that have

For 08-09 the longer shock and relocate brackets are all that is need to properly install t-motion into it. You can still install it but may run into binding as tex mentioned.

The rail geometry for all the rails is pretty much the same, the 2010+ sleds just have the bottom shock mount in a slightly different location.

My son put the T Motion in his 08 XP last year with no problems.

How did he like it ?? Did he install it him self ?

I'm putting mine in my 10 x here in the next month.

The destructions suck and don't make any sense.

The only thing I have seen from the kits are lots of bent throttle rods. It doesn't appear to cause any negative effects.

He loves it said it took his buffalo and made it easy to ride. He also put the S36 kit in and added the new Doo skis. He installed all himself and was an easy swap. I found it a lot easier to ride also. This year I am putting the same stuff into an 2009 that I bought super cheap.

I did the t-motion and the S36 as well as the spindles and new skis on my09 this week.. NOTE: on mine I had to change the steering column to the 10-12 column as the swing where the tie rods attach are shorter. when the suspension is decompressed the tie rods would hit on the sway bar brackets. So if you have to buy the new steering stem anyway you might as well buy the C3 post forward one in my 2c. I would have bought the C3 but needed to get this done this week so I just grabbed a new column from Martins.
