How To: Ski-Doo R Motion Torsion Spring Change.

[@johnkiohio43438]

Thanks for the video. Did mine today. 16mm not 5/8 and the tool on Ebay was $16. I am not giving you shit.....your video is great. Just commenting for the next people.

[@paulnicholson3221]

You are really the only one that I have come across that has answered my questions with my 1200 . Thank you very much .

[@heavysnow8616]

I have to change springs out to heavier ones. Thanks for the video, you did a great job. Thanks for the tip with the jack and to check/replace the spacers. Much appreciate your time making the video.

[@Schneids15]

I really appreciate the comment. Thank You. I would recommend those spacers for sure.

[@jmj267]

Those spring spacers I'll have to look at mine and see what my stock ones look like that's a great tip that you added.

[@Schneids15]

They help so much. My factory wore right through the bushings and were going into the metal.

[@danryan3146]

Good video. I just replaced the rear shock and now I'm looking for stiffer replacement springs for my 2005 Rev SC10-3 suspension.

[@Schneids15]

What is your weight if you don’t mind me asking. May need stuffer or just the blocks turned. I believe they are set up for around a 180LB rider.

[@danryan3146]

@@Schneids15 I'm 230 lbs dressed. I was considering installing the spacers before I purchase new springs. Blocks are maxed out.

[@Schneids15]

New springs is the best choice. The spacers are good but i would go for new springs first.

[@danryan3146]

@@Schneids15OK, thanks for the advice. Would you recommend the same springs you used? I'm probably heavier than you.

[@Schneids15]

I would recommend stiffer. The thing is this suspension is different than yours. It will require other springs. Go to a ski doo website and look up your torsion springs and other numbers will be there. Otherwise check dootalk forums they will have something. Or call the dealer which sometimes is useless.

Best videos for my 2013 mxz tnt 1200!

[@Schneids15]

Thank you!

[@chuckpharis9243]

What company are the red bushings from

[@Schneids15]

Good question. Memory check. They were from royal distributing. Hygear suspension.

[@Poindexter450]

On reassembly, how do you get the front part of the spring back into the bracket behind the wheel? Looks like it has a good amount of pressure under it? Pry bar?

[@Schneids15]

Just use your arms. I am a small guy and have no problem lifting them.

I have a 2016 Renegade XRS 800 and have the quick adjusts on my sled. The problem I am having is the skidoo sags, I have not tightened up the quick adjust on the left of the sled past 4, just wondering if maybe the Torsion springs have worn out on my sled. I did buy it used with 10,000km on it, it is in great condition but when out the other day I noticed the snow flap on the ground and dragging and it almost felt like I was riding on the track. Could replacing the Torsion springs on this sled help with this issue? I believe everything on it is factory, I also have the link attachment for the Jerry can and also some saddle bags and can convert from a one seater to a two seater, so my other concern is by putting two people on the sled with it already sagging it going to be a problem. How big a Torsion spring if this is the issue would I need to go to? Thanks - Tim Yeaman

[@Schneids15]

Hey Tim. Honestly i would pull out your shocks and get them rebuilt before messing with torsion springs. Can almost guarantee your rear shock needs rebuilt by the sounds of it.

[@user-om9qm8yc3u]

@@Schneids15 thanks so much - I will give that a go first. Tim

[@BlueRage]

You will need your shocks rebuilt as well as the heavy duty torsion springs 270 and 271. Check your left side Quick Adjuster is actually acuating (moving the torsion springs)... a lot of them leaked and need rebuilt.

[@wideback4553]

Will this work for a 2014 renegade x?

[@Schneids15]

Yes the renegades are the same setup.

[@wideback4553]

@@Schneids15 great thanks

[@jmj267]

I'll be the first watch this me and you have talked quite a bit in the last few weeks but my sled and I appreciate all your videos hope you had a great Thanksgiving. You've been a great help.

[@Schneids15]

Thank you Sir. hope you got the Hyfax changed. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada.

[@marcmckenzie4100]

I replaced the retainer cushion and spring support one one side, but the other side, jeeez. I can’t get the under tension spring/rod thingy up in to position to get the new cushion/ support in place and on. Aaargh.

[@sotapop2027]

Nice video. Were the fasteners for the adjusters on the running boards originally rivets or did they come with bolt/nut? Did you find it easier to change out the springs with the track loosened or does it not matter?

[@Schneids15]

They were originally bolts i believe. Bought the sled used though. No need to loosten the track.
