Yep he's back

what you are saying is true except to get the precise setting as your starting point...for someone who wants to get it as close as possible the stock straps with holes don't allow for the precise setting. Adjustable straps such as the one in the OP allows for that. I DO NOT adjust mine after...

Probably a good idea to start a new thread. Yes I have them on all my sleds.

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I’m not saying yamaha would have had a great designed skid, but that whatever they did have would have been done correctly such as fit and finish and would have had the wiring issues worked out before sending units into production. Quality control would have...

Well it's new. all the bugs will eventually be worked out. The one major bug with smart shocks is how they ran the wiring. Frequent pounding has caused some wiring to get rubbed down to bare wire causing shorts. This happened to me and many others. Shocks go into default mode which is the...

Exactly. the spring kits are another good change. But I think we are way off track from the thread subject. Sorry about my part in that everyone.

I would agree. Most know how to do all these adjustments themselves. I wish I could and honestly I am literally a part of John doing his setup in the shop. He has me on the sleds the whole time bouncing up and down to reset shocks and am learning a lot but I don't have the confidence yet...

Except they are law enforcement and I can’t tell you how many cop shows I’ve seen where the cops are always saying things would go much easier and maybe get off with a warning if you just cooperated and told the truth That didn’t happen.

Yes I did. He changed limiter strap to his after market model that allows him to set it to a more precise setting rather than rely on the holes. Changed the rear springs to a heavier set. Stock sag was over 8”. His meter didn’t go over 8” so not sure exactly what it was. Now it’s 2.5”. I don’t...

It’s easy for me to go to him since my wife’s family lives about an hour and a half from John’s shop so whoever we go visit the family I take a day and bring the sleds to him. It’s amazing how much better a sled can be from Stock. Completely transformed my 2012 apex XTX. I was sold after that...

Bingo

I'm not sure if this is true but aren't those parts from Cat and not Yamaha? I had a 2015 Viper and hated it. Chain case leaked every year and finally crapped out on the trail. Had to tow it home. I decided at that moment I'm done with Yamicat. I had been a yamaha guy since 1983. I still dream...

My son (who you know) says the exact same thing. He went for the sleep study and same results. Didn't need the machine but whatever was the recommendation he followed and felt sooo much better in the morning. He keeps saying I should go. I will after I lose weight if I still snore. Good job for...

I only watched the first half of the video, but from what I saw they weren't really FULLY cooperating in the beginning. Without going back and reading the entire thread I thought I read some posts showing sympathy towards these officers. Almost like "it could happen to anyone" type of thoughts...

Not claiming that I did change from stock on the mach. Although I did change the grand touring. All that's left is the air shock. Just wanted to give John a positive comment. How one sets up their sled is up to them and what's important or not important might be different for some people...

John Sherrard is the guy who sets up my sleds. He is a great guy and knows his stuff. It does make a difference for those who put on big miles each year in order to see the benefit/payback. I understand if you don't ride as much anymore it may not be worth it to some.

our amigo is gone as of this afternoon.

working on it I'm sure.

I love my DMAX, especially when towing.

I have pop up blockers. It does not appear like a pop up since it doesn't open an additional window. I am not an I.T. guy but it appears as an embedded image (as a video). I run norton and have the pop up blocker on within my browser (firefox). I am not running anything in addition to this since...
