Axel position R31

[Claude Morin]

Where you suggest to put the axel, down or up, with a Rotax max in a 2004 R31SP to begin the setting on a race week-end??
Thanks and sorry for my english!!

We leave the axle in the stock position as you took it out of the box. If you need assistance in spanish, call Ronny Miron at our South Bend location. 574-288-4922 thanks. garry Also feel free to post in spanish as Ronny will respond. Not a problem. Thanks for your question.

I speek french not spanish. I dont know where the axel was because i buy the kart with 3 race used, actually the axel is in up position on the frame (minimum rear height) it's ok??

I always like to start with the axel down. That will give you more grip. The rotax spec tire is very hard and we look for grip. Other customers that run that kart do the following. Side bolts tight, rear bar out, front bar in, 1 set of extra seat stays middle bearing loose,54.5-55 inches wide. If you run front hubs two thick spacers out, and two black spindle spacers on top. (the newest kart has 2 silver spindle spacers the big one on top) Hope this helps.
