Did anyone have problems getting the suspension "pulled back" far enough to get the front suspension bolts lined up?

I have the rear arm completely collapsed, adjusted the rear wheels fully forward and i'm using up my whole track. Don't have any more room to pull back and the track is tight on top and bottom.

I have the Tracks USA Kit, part # POL 101 for a 2000 XCR 800
I have a Camoplast Ripsaw part # 9967H162
I have a Tri City Polaris Big Wheel Kit.

I was thinking I had the wrong sized track, but it checks out ok. Now I'm thinking the big wheel kit may be causing this. I can't see that, as I need more play than even the stock wheels will provide.

Thoughts???

Do you have the TracksUSA extensions designed for big wheels?

XTRA-10--'99 & OLDER

All XCR 800's up to '03 with XTRA-10

Convert 121 to 136 or 144
POL-101 121-136 stock $99.00
POL-201 121-144 stock $115.0

you have the stock wheel extensions,

did your big wheel kit come with a offset axel? if not ,you need one.

Yes, big wheel kit came with the offset shaft.

PROBLEM SOLVED..... at least for now.

I got the suspension in. Once I got the front bolts in, I got the rears to go after some finaggling. It's TIGHT w/no adjustment done to the rear wheels as of yet.

Hope this track stretches.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

Also.... NO, I just ordered the Tracks USA kit, did not mention for "big wheel kit." I'll call on that tomorrow.

However, I did mount the front shock to the top position on the front arm. That may have caused an extra "push" as well.

i just ordered a TracksUSA 136" kit for my 03 XCR800. I do know that there is a different part # on the extensions for the big wheel kit.

a little trick to installing the rear skid is start with the front bolt. thread it in hand tight, and then remove your torsion springs from the rollers on both sides. this makes it easy to compress the rear shock and start the back bolt on the same side. then replace springs and roll sled over to the other side. remove springs again and install rear bolt, then front bolt. replace springs and tighten bolts. the key to the process is to compress the rear shock, but TO NOT fold the rear arm. collapsing the rear arm gives you no more clearence. don't worry, the track will stretch in time.
