ski staggered

[Deuce1508]

are the skis on an 03 mxz 800 supposed to be staggered a little bit

What do you mean by "staggered"??? One ski is set back more than the other? Toe adjustment?

 

[Deuce1508]

yea driver side set back more

 

[Murminator]

No they should be even if you put it against a board or something they should be even. Toe in and toe out are the tips closer together than the backs of the ski is toe in if the tips are further apart than the end of the ski is toe out

If the driver side?...or left side ski is further back than the right somethings bent

only for oval racing, makes left turns easier.

sounds like a bent nun, also check the the braces running parallel to the motor, a small bend here can trhow the skis out 1-2 inches

 

[Summitric]

Could be different lenght skiis........ I had one......could be bent nun, bent control arms, worn ball joints etc.....

 

[Summitric]

Could even be a bent spindle........ The '03 mxz was on the rev platform, right?

I have an 04 Rev that may have clipped a tree last weekend. The right ski wasn't pushed back, but it was toed in a couple inches. I checked everything out this week and found nothing visably bent. I adjusted my right side steering linkage to correct the toe in, but there must be something that bent as a result of my contact with this particular tree.

Where else would I look?

Any thoughts? ( other than stay out of the damn trees )

PS:Simmon Flex skis really flex a long ways.

Check to see if the shocks are centered in the A arm. If not, it's bent.
Don't lose any sleep over it, just about every Rev I've had a close look at is bent to some degree.

 

[vtlbill]

Yah, first thing I looked at, even on the hill. They are centered.
The way I ride, I don't think a inch or two bent in any which direction is going to help or hurt my performance.

take a look at the bulkhead right behind the can,is it straight or is there a kink there,you can straightin it with a little hammer love.

Agreed, a large sledgehammer and a piece of 2x4 and you should be able to straighten it out. It really sounds like a bent NUN to me. Very very very common. Me, I just keep riding.

Wow that looks very familiar, I did get it half asses straight with a sledge and it has managed to stay straight. Not saying it is the right way to do it but it worked for me.
