Default question for flat trackers

just wondering if any of you "pre-load" your sway bar so just sitting there flat its already trying to transfer a little load from one side to the other?

i do, but that is bc the only "flat track" i have done so far has been ice, lots of grip with studs. also kick out the bottom of ur front right tire that will help when the front "folds" under and then u'll get more tire actually on the ground

Negative camber and loading the swaybar are 2 different things.
To adjust the swaybar you put the quad on 4 scales and use the adjusters to make the weight even on each wheel.
From there most put more wieght on the right side (it's called putting a wedge in it). You can figure out what works best from there.

We run a lil negative camber on the right front for circle dirt tracks that have banked turns. Ice is flat, may or may not help. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

for oval tracking you can load it but if you are doing right and lefters .... flat ground two scales under rear tires and your #S should match on each of your scale

i agree with above. the camber on the front is for when the tire "rolls" on its side so it is actually rolling the side wall a little bit so the whole tire has even grip. agreed with the scales, just dont use your moms scale she might get a little mad like mide did. lol
