I have been thinking about putting my rear wuspension on the lowest setting on the relocation brackets. There are two settings, one at the upper idler wheels and the other at the rear upper axle support. Can I drop just the rear, or do I have to move both? My second question is, what is the benifet from this, other than getting my tunnel up out of the snow a little more. The manual lists nothing on this.

Any info would be appreciated.

I think you have to move both to keep the geometry the same. All it will do is lift the rear bumper in the air and give your track more tunnel clearance. I just did this on a SXR 600 short track that I longtracked but I hade to drill the holes and make sure they were perfect. That suspension can be picky. If it is off a little it can bind.

I lowered the bolt on my rx1 helps in deep snow. I lowered both of the bolts. it works good.

I dropped both bolts, and it stiffened up the suspension quite a bit. It doesn't feel like it is binding, But I can tell you that I liket the ride alot better. I haven't hill climbed with it though. I also noticed that my limiter straps are loose now. Should they be tight? If so, how much?
