fat guy needs help setting up 95' 750sx...

[r33pwrd]

Title says it all! I use to ride standups a lot then I went to the sitdowns and well im back and 40lbs heavier :-( I need help setting the ski up to help get the nose down I am thinking: -2" hand pole (getting today) ride plate that is shimmed in the rear, intake grate and a pump wedge? anything else I need that will help? I know the obvious answer is to loose some weight, and I hoping to do that as well!

Also what brand of grate, plate and pump wedge should I get? (can find a wedge anywhere online for the 750sx)

Thanks
Brad

any extended plate will help to keep the nose down.

Also, look into hull extensions, blowsion sells some, and they help a good deal to stop porpoising also.

good luck,

Geoff

How heavy are you? I know guys up in the 275 region that ride without issue.

Extended plate and better stance is all you really need. Short pole will help also.

I am in the 275 range +/- I just got the pole today... any imput on what plate and grate to run? Also may do hull extension this winter if the plate/ grate and pole dont make me happy.. but I think they will

I'm around 260, I was 280 last summer and I had a heck of a time with Matt's SJ porposing. The key is to ride more and to work on balance. I still normally ride surf stance to help with porposing. Put your front foot up against the engine compartment.

my 750sx has a R&D grate and plate and rides good; it does porpoise some but not too bad.
but I cannot compare it to stock as my ski came this way

I would not recommend shimming the ride plate, for me it made the ski handle really weird, it would slide then bite and throw me in. the shorter pole will help a ton.

That sounds like fun ! So ill order a R&D plate and grate I guess! thanks for all the help!

My uncle and friend really liked the WORX extended ride plate for the 750sx... kinda hard to find used, but you can still purchase them brand new
