Alright guys im tired of my rear suspension setup, I got a lowering link with the stock shock. So on mine the chain is super tight when no bodies on it and I can hear the chain popping when im trying to roll it around and it then gets loose when I get on it. My question is what setup are you guys running? Or is this a common thing since were lowering it.

Sounds like the chain is way to tite.....

Zac uses a no-link Lone-Star

Mine does pretty much the same thing. It doesnt pop or make any noise when you try to roll it, but it is tight and loosens up when you sit on it. Make sure your chain is clean and in good condition.

when I ran my stock shock I used a lowering link for a while but eventually realized that a GT thunder MX link with a properly set up shock is a great tt setup. A no link like Zac runs is the ultimate setup but they are very expensive. Call Andy at Maultech ATV and he will be glad to help you get set up right. 217 491 0804

Thanks, but I didnt do so good in the Pro-Lites and the Pro-Am kinda pissed me off. Shoulda had 3rd. Oh well, still one more round left.
Zac looked like he likes the Hoosiers a lot better. Did awsome all weekend, just got caught up in some bad luck in the mains.

The 10x8 hoosiers are tuff to beat. Also hoosiers are a lot cheaper than american racers and hoosier supports the sport better than american racer.
