PROBLEM: “There is understeer all the way through the turn”
Solution:
1. Turning the rear torsion blade bar towards
the horizontal position will reduce rear
mechanical grip while increasing rear chassis
roll. If the rear torsion bar is already ‘full soft’,
remove the bar completely.
2. In the case that they are fitted, remove the
tensioning bolts from the side torsion bar/
fourth rail. If the tensioning bolts are already
removed from the side torsion bar then
remove the torsion bar altogether from the
kart.
NOTE: We recommend that you do not use the rear or side torsion bars at all, unless all other
options have been attempted. The exception is the 125 Shifter Kart, in which case the
rear bar should almost always be kept in and ‘flat’.
PROBLEM: “The kart oversteers, is too direct in the steering when entering corners”
Solution: Remove front clamp or torsion bar.
PROBLEM: “The kart lacks initial steering and feels
vague in the front”
Solution: Tighten front clamp and/or insert front
torsion bar.
NOTE: As a general rule, fitting and/or tightening torsion bars or clamps will increase
mechanical grip, while removing and/or loosening them will reduce mechanical grip.
