Upgrading Rear Suspension

[06 Dragon]

Want to upgrade the rear suspension and track on my 09 800 T Dragon. I was thinking of an M-10, or Bakers setup, unsure of what track to run.Thinking of a Camo extreme. It has too much ski lift. I would like to control the transfer. Anyone run a Nextech set up?

I have 09 d8 with silber turbo, have had nextech on for 2 years works awesome. No ski lift, and much smoother ride.

Bakers all the way. imo.

Have you looked into what Timbersled is offering this year? Fully adjustable so you can change your transfer based on snow conditions and what you're riding that day. Trees and climbing take two VERY different settings!!! I ran the TS skid on my Turboed Pro last season and once we had it set in the fully coupled position i worked GREAT... however, I think my tree riding performance will go down during the rest of the season.. So I'm going wih the upgrade this season and doing his new skid... check it out.. Timbersled Products,Inc.

Anyone run an Ez-ryde set up?

 

[dezmitchell]

I run timbersled and couldnt be happier works awesome keeps ski lift under control and the boys at timbersled ROCK!!! couldnt have better customer service.

I run a ez ryde setup on my turboed doo 1200. It does a good job of keeping the skis down. I like it but havent riden any other aftermaket ones to compare it to

What about the track? Is the camo extreme the best track to go with?

Personally Id go with a Kmod. Kevin is a great guy and his skids flat out work. You would probably end up with a full replacement skid for the price of Bakers kit. Rode a TM8 with a Kmod last year and it was unreal. Super nice all around skid that keeps the front end planted when climbing. Heard nothing but good things about the new raptor shocks he is using now.

I 2nd the Kmod. Super smooth on the trail to the powder and gives you massive confidence when climbing

I love my m-10.....rides smooth down the bumpy trail and set up so skies dont even lift a foot on full boost on the flat.....when climbing the hills it feels like it is pushing the front end down. I feel like I can go straight up, or even almost upside down! it just dont stop climbing till I let off the throttle......I blew my CE track so I need to buy a new one soon!

Thanks Guys, I will check out all my options, I guess the camo extreme is the main after market track everyone is running then.

i just spent some time up at the Timbersled headquarters this weekend.... now, even more, i recommend the NEW TS skid... i got to play with a demo he had while I waited for him to grab mine for me and even talked to him about his means and methods on producing a product... the guy is CRAZY about quality and VERY quality oriented!! he even hard annodizes a bunch of pieces that you don't even see just to give them better wear characteristics as well as have them look better (cause you don't get aluminum drool coming out of them). plus he puts little seals in on one spot where he has metal sliding in metal to keep grease in and dust out.... pretty sweet!!

his knew skid is gonna ROCK!!!

Bakers skid all the way, when we were building my nytro everyone assumed it would be a wheelie pig with a 3 inch on it but everyone who has seen the sled in action has commented just how flat the sled stays in climbs and thats all cuz of the skid! I know I will never run anything else...

 

[06 Dragon]

Thanks Guys.

Can a person put a 16 wide 162/3 camo extreme into a 09 800 polaris stock skid? planning on 8 tooth avid drivers and possibly a drop and roll with a 3" and 3.0 pitch if it will work, or will it only accept only a 15 wide. Is there much feed back on the c3 belt drives are the better or worse than the avid chain drive?

 

[06 Dragon]

Anyone? Have any info on this for track width? I do not have access to the sled for a couple weeks to measure the tunnel
