I had cut four coils off of my carb spring like was recomended by various people on this site. The problem is that my machine is even more prone to wheelies now than before. I had a problem with severe wheelies off hard starts before. I would easily pull wheelies through second gear, now I pull the front end up easily into third under hard acceleration. I have tried to put my weight way forward, I weigh 255lbs, to no avail. The X just launches skyward like a rocket. I want to get mods for it but I am just worried that more power means more severe wheelies. Help!

 

sounds like you need an extended swingarm

 

I would be WAY more than happy to trade my older longer version swingarm for your new style shorter one...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] lol!

 

The factory sag height's are very soft or good if you weigh 140 pounds.

Tip: Front race sag should be set at 3 1/2" with you seated on the quad. In other words, lift up on the front of the quad so that the suspension is fully extended, and measure from the ground to one of the front bumper bolts. Then sit on the quad, jump up and down, roll the quad back and forth, and make sure the suspension is settled to the height it will be at with you sitting on the quad in your normal riding position. Then have someone measure from the ground to the same bumper bolt; the measurement should be 3 1/2" less than the unloaded measurement. Make the same adjustment for the rear suspension, except race sag should be set at 4" - 4 1/2".

Be sure to adjust the race sag first, being as the amount of sag will affect the toe setting. And set the toe with the ATV at ride height. If you set the toe with the suspension fully drooped, and the ATV sitting on a floor jack, you will have too much toe-out at ride height.
