  • In this video I break down the differences between the RMK Pro and RMK Khaos rear suspensions, and show how to setup each sled accordingly, like the pros!

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

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

  • @otahu26
    @otahu26 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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
      @turcotte16  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

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

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