Slicast Caster Adjustment - The SlicastA(R) (US Patent # US 7,568,711) caster adjustment is the only caster adjustment on the market today that can be adjusted independently from the camber setting. The Aluminum SlicastA(R) feature has 11 settings, each giving you 0.5 degrees of caster change. Each setting is labeled for ease of use. The SlicastA(R) rotates like a cam or bearing carrier, with the ball joint hole being on an eccentric. To adjust the SlicastA(R), simply untighten the upper ball joint jam nut 3/16" and pop out the SlicastA(R) cam. Turn the cam to the desired rotation (caster setting) and press back in, tighten your jam nut, and ride with the new SlicastA(R) setting.
How does the caster setting affect the handling of your ATV?
The caster setting affects the handling of the ATV as it corners or goes in a straight line. Rotating the top ball joint toward the rear of the ATV makes the ATV handle better in a straight line. Rotating the top ball joint toward the front of the ATV, makes the ATV corner better.
What SlicastA(R) setting is best for me?
There is not an overall best setting. The SlicastA(R) cam should be adjusted to reflect: your unique riding style, the terrain you are riding in, and the type of riding you are doing.
Maximum Ground Clearance - Additional clearance between the lower A-Arm and the ground. This is ideal for helping the rider avoid roots, ruts, rocks, and debris. Additional ground clearance prevents the rider from getting stuck more often. The lower A-Arms are bent in a way that they provide more clearance, protecting your A-Arms and shocks from damage.
