RIDE LIKE A PRO! Polaris RMK and Khaos Rear Suspension Setup Tips

[@AkatarawaJapan]

That was the clearest explanation of suspension setup I’ve found. Thanks.

[@turcotte16]

Glad it helped!!

[@JRydeng]

100% agreed. Thanks!

[@polarisbrad4549]

Excellent follow up video after the last comparison. The trolls jumped all over you for that one!!! But both videos were awesome! Keep the vids coming man!

[@bookieyadigg]

This is the first ever video on ANY VIDEO. No dislikes. Thats awesome I'm new to the snomobile world still don't have one yet but no dislikes means you are a class act. #RESPECT

[@turcotte16]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@JimmysBBQ]

Awesome video Brett, great explanation, thank you!

[@turcotte16]

Glad you liked it!

[@sethalos]

As a novice sledder, 2nd year in, this is a fantastic explanation of how all this works. I just assumed it was some type of voodoo that made it all work.

[@turcotte16]

Thank you for the positivity!

[@bookieyadigg]

Could you do a video on the difference between tunnel lengths 155 163 165 ect. And the lug sizes?!!? 2" 2.6 3"

[@expedition5386]

Very clear. I have been looking for an explanation like this for a while. Thank you!!

[@leftyeh6495]

I feel like the khaos was marketing genius to get the flatlanders to buy wheelie machines. The pro is still king of the mountain when you need to be in control.

[@cwfarrell68]

Best explanation yet👍👍

[@SledorFish]

Great explanation of the two models. I'm starting to play with the center shock spring pre-load on my 19 Pro to make it a little more playful.

[@SledorFish]

@@gratefulshred Good to hear that it works. I'm not looking to do wheelies, I just miss the fun factor of my old 155 Pro. I also have the 19 850 but it is a 163". It gets it done in the deep but is a little too planted in the hero snow. Time to play with the shocks and lighten the front end a bit.

[@nombr]

That was a really good video man! Sold me on being a subscriber!

[@dlarsen7532]

Thanks for this video sounds like a person can apply it to different brands as well 👍

[@turcotte16]

For sure you can! These are all great ideas to be applying to suspension setups!

[@Yamadeere]

Great video & explanation. I run a SKS mostly off trail & bush riding in northern Alberta. But great points for setting up my sled better for the couple Mtn trips I do get in

[@nickert0n]

Where do you ride in northern alberta?

[@jayzes6915]

Great tips! Thanks Brett!

[@otahu26]

I found adjusting the spring is far better then playing with clickers.. cos you look your place on the clickers real fast unless you write it down.

[@davesdelta7836]

Great explanation. I installed the Pro limiter in the Khaos.

[@turcotte16]

Great mod!

[@jean-francoispicard793]

Did you notice a big difference on the ski lift ?

[@kentferris9627]

Brett - How do you set your preload on the rear track shocks on both machines? Do you run alot of preload on the ski's?

[@turcotte16]

On the Rmk i will typically run less pre load, it has a slightly stiffer spring on the rear compared to Khaos. I run anywhere from 1/2” to 3/4” pre load on the ski shocks. A good rule of thumb is to take all the pre load away, then add 1/2” as a starting point then use your clickers from there.

[@kentferris9627]

@@turcotte16 Cool...thank you

[@thebigbail]

Would you tighten up the limiter strap on the khaos to level it out a bit?

[@turcotte16]

Yep! That will also help

[@neilgood7040]

Excellent explanation

[@hagenrobles3582]

Thanks for the tips !!

[@turcotte16]

Cheers!

[@defmc1]

Now the front suspension.

[@turcotte16]

I will add it to the list!

[@charlesc8035]

thank. pefect basic explanation !!!

[@turcotte16]

Cheers!

[@nickl2268]

how would you setup a switchback assault? the front end seems a little lower to the ground any way to get it up more? if thats makes sense

[@JoInvermere]

Great Bfent! Just got a Khaos with Burrandt skid shock and would like to know what is the base preload on springs? 1/2" center and 1" back? Cheers

[@turcotte16]

I would go 1/“2 front 3/4” rear

[@kayleduggan1915]

So what’s more useful? A mild set up on a khaos or an aggressive pro?

[@turcotte16]

I like to have a mellow setup on the rmk as opposed to an aggressive compensating setup on a khaos

[@jasper19661]

What do you suggest for a 2020 SKS 155 2.6 I mostly boon dock UP of Michigan. Sled seems hard to get to turn in tight spots. It has WAlker evans clickers. Thanks!!

[@turcotte16]

Stiffen up your Center skid shock, to allow it to transfer to the rear track shock sooner!

[@jasper19661]

@@turcotte16 thanks. Stiffen the front skid shock is what your saying.

[@PimPimTim]

Should i adjust the black one as well?

[@turcotte16]

black dial is low speed

[@anthonywentz23]

Will simply putting a khaos limited strap on a pro make any difference in ski lift?

[@turcotte16]

No, the front shock on an RMK is physically shorter than the Khaos is..

[@dillonjewison596]

[@georgef1176]

Can you tell me how too get the pro Rmk front shocks too stop blowing apart? I’m On a second set. I’m gonna get foxes when they blow again

[@turcotte16]

It all depends on the rider and what you’re using them for! I personally run fox QS3 airs on my rmk!

[@509Jedi]

Bring back, Turkey!

[@TheMatthew1023]

damn that was quick

[@turcotte16]

Steady grindin!

[@ianmcnichol1111]

[@turcotte16]

Nope! My Polaris is working so good!
