What is the compression supposed to be on this thing? I never got a race manual with mine and I noticed that as I go over jumps it really likes to nosedive. I've tried to loosen the rear spring but I can't get to land flat. It's not fun racing going over a jump A** high. I'm looking to go do some woodchip riding in a couple weeks and dont want to nosedive in woodchips.........ouch. Thanks for any help.

Not sure why yours nose dives. The '04 440 I had flew perfectly flat and was very easy to correct in air. Your not letting off right at the lip of the jump are you???

check your track tension, and to correct that stay on the gas in the air, or just one solid throllte burst will bring the front up

And if the big throttle burst happens to bring you too far back, hit the brakes and it'll go back down .

Sure, all that throttle and brake stuff works just great ,,,, if your in the air long enough to use it. if your only in the air for 15 feet you better get it right coming off the jump or you'll be knocking your ski loops off with your helmet, i know this fer sure heh heh.

Practice practice practice. Start low then go higher. You HAVE to be comfortable with your sled and get a good feel for it. You can "ride" the sled, letting it do what it wants and you sitting on it, or you can ride the sled, making it do what you want. It takes skill, commitment, and time to get to that level.

make sure you are staying constant on the throttle when you go off the lip of the jump. Being on it hard will keep you nose high, and letting off will drop the front-end.

everyone probably hits em different i think... You have to basicaly be comfortable with what your doing no matter what. I personally come in with a little extra speed and somewhat let my self coast off the jump... i'm level most of the time, except when i am trying to go big, and stay on the throttle through the jump. Which happened a few times this year.( Even bent an idler wheel, man those vibrate when they bend..) But just get used to your sled, and try things, at 15 feet it shouldn't be to bad to bail, its better then eating ski loops...

What is the motor compression supposed to be. I am getting 115 from each cylinder? Does that sound about right?

Depends on how you check the comp. i.e. warm or cold engine. mine has 127 cold each cyl. (it's for sale). i think just as important is that both are close to the same.

Its not the sled it the RIDER! :div20:
