Setting up New Elka's

[FAQ654]

I ride harescrambles and I was wondering what other people do when they set their quad up. What do you have your front and rear frame Height set at and how much toe do you have in your front end.
Thanks for any comments!!!

Ride hieght should be between 8.5 and 9 inches WITH YOU on the quad.

Once you have that setup, I set the compression to about 5 from the softest setting and go ride and make adjustments from there until it feels right, but Ride hieght is the first thing you need to setup.

I have my Toe in about .5 inch for each tire.

Jeff,

When measuring for clearance from what places on the quad do you take the measurements from? I would assume from the front point of the frame to the ground for the front shocks, but what about the rear?

Rico, you run 1 inch of toe in? That seems a little too much. I run a 1/8 to 1/4 of a inch toe in.
