I was hoping a KRX owner or someone with actual experience with the KRX or this issue would reply. Driving on flat ground shouldn't unseat an axle seated 2+ inches even if it had no retaining clip. I’ve seen this machine jumped and driven hard with full up and down suspension travel with no issues. Then twice in one day when driving casually. Not buying it.
Help a newb out here - would that be because more tire weight will tend to pull the suspension into a hard full droop? Or something else? Shock Therapy just came out with a limit strap kit for the Talons which have a hard clunk at full droop, worse on the front.
Yeah, I know. We have a PM going. I was referring to the Buffalo guy.
The Buffalo guy IS JTW. 🤪
I wasn’t referring to your answer man, JTW PM’d me with a theory. Just seems so odd with the beating I’ve seen this machine take it would happen when just cruising and didn’t show up in the first 1,200 miles or so. It was opposite sides and the second time there was so much force it cracked the transaxle case. It’s had zero issues that weren’t self inflicted before this.
Here’s the cold hard truth: It’s one of the best production trail machines in stock form to ever hit the market. I was set on a Talon and absolutely wanted to hate the KRX but as much as it pains me to say it, the KRX is a better rig. I had the opportunity to ride with three of them at Windrock and they were impressive. I also got to drive @JTW’s KRX and ride in another, they are tough as nails and will climb like a mountain goat. The plus is it goes into low without any grinding from the cable/shift gate issues. One retainer clip issue is peanuts compared a complete sub-trans removal and repair. Just my two cents.
Was looking for insight for my friend not talking s***. He’s understandably concerned that his new machine had this happen.
It’s a fluke caused by a $2.00 clip and or the person who installed it. Not a cause for concern or buyer’s remorse.
The more tire weight the more important it is... but even in a stock machine that’s riding hard and jumping or trails causing the suspension to come to full droop I would get them! Knowing what I know now... I would and will do it on every machine I own from here out.
Yup.. it was mostly the first machines out and Kawi was Johnny on the spot. Now with supply issues everything is taking longer.
I love limit straps when my partner is at full droop... it really helps keep him from bottoming out his piston on my shock bottom!
@Lil_Steve - ST has a limiter strap kit for the Talon, more important on the fronts IMO. You should do this so I'll know how hard it is.
There's a ST video but I didn't save it. 😊 (never mind, you saw IDIOT's link)
Old news... you’re not the first to try and spread these lies!! You’re probably the Buffalo Milker!
