One of the things the people who have seen the Forums before our opening today will notice is that we added this forum, as well as the 4-Cycle forum.

Since I have yet to really get a handle on chassis tuning, I'll start with a simple question - my Rotax pushes like a bulldozer. What are the top few things I should try to get it to turn? It mostly pushes into slow, tight corners on turn-in.

Glenn are you running the CRG Maximo? I don't recall I think you mentioned maybe that at the Chicago show?

I've driven a few different chassis now. What works for one is the total opposite for another chassis brand.

Push on turn is easy usually. Not enough castor or you need to widen the front. Your problem is you aren't picking up the inside rear tire on turn in so the back is overpowering the front.

Glenn,
CRG's like to have the front ride height lifted for more leverage, and also you can try adding some toe out. Also check the weight distribution F/R.
