Track shock adjustment for Pro RMK

[superdad]

Just wondering what adjustments a guy should make for better deep snow climbing. Seems to trench alot! I tightened the limit strap but not sure which way to go with the shock adjustments

Loosen up the front and tighten up the back I believe.. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

i find the best is to loosen off front spring and tighten up rear like poo88 said. i keep it just soft enough that i only bottom out on hard hits. I wouldnt have bothered with the limiter strap

I could be way off on this but, isn't only the rear shock adjustable on the Pro? And wouldn't tightening the limiter keep the angle of attack steeper?

I was referring to spring tension

I know, but I thought only the rear shock had an adjustable pre-load. I thought the front was fixed.

So, how do you tighten up the front? I've thought about doing this as well, cause I'm a great trencher. Get a new spring put on it, or change out the shocks all together.

 

[superdad]

No they are both adjustable

Yah sorry I misread that post.. Preload is but damping isn't adjustable on the front track shock.. Kept thinking he meant damping fer some reason lol

I was talking Pre-load, as there is not dampening adjustment on the Pro RMK, just on the Assault. I thought only the rear pre-load was adjustable, not the front. But I guess I'm wrong. Thanks!

Even when I shorten the limit strap it got me more up on the snow with less of a trench...Now I just need to figure the shocks out.

Have you found any noticeable change in handling in the trees?

 

[superdad]

It seems to climb through the trees better . I would say cuts through the deeper snow better. I did this to a Dragon I had and got the same result. It doesnt pull the skiis off the ground on hard pack after you make this adjustment like it used to

I'll give this a go next time I'm out.
