Hey guys, I know I'm gonna sound like an idiot, but I've been running 2 stroke oil through my 95 vmax4 800, it is a 2 stroke right?

You are talking about two stroke oil, in that oil tank under the hood correct? (on the right side, near the knee/above pannel kinda)

btw if it was 4 stroke and the oil level went down as fast as it does and the motor smoked like it does you would have a HUGE problem!! ahahaha

Another question is how do you adjust your shocks to dangle the skis a little when you crack the throttle?

set the pivot points on the rear suspension for weight transfer ( the back foot or so of my track dont touch the ground when sitting on the floor WITHOUT a rider on it and the ski's dont touch down till 135 km/hr with a 750. ) , and loosen the the front straps on the rear suspension

You will need to put a extra wheel near the front of the rail on both side to save the sliders also. But well worth it !!!

I adjusted my suspension tonight aswell as turned the secondary clutch from "3" to "6". It seems to be a little more jumpy. It gets up and goes! :D

Sounds like the same setup on heathers 96..last night, I took it out on the road, hammered it, and ski`s stayed up until i let off the throttle!!! holly crap man...I glanced down and seen the 70MPH mark, and they were still floating!!
