REAR TRACK WIDTH
Rear track width is described as the measurement of the rear width, from the outside
edge of the LR wheel to the outside edge of the RR wheel. Adjusting the rear track
width helps determine the rear weight transfer of the kart. This can be adjusted by
loosening the rear hubs and sliding them in and out to meet your desired width.
Recommended starting positions are:
Bridgestone YLB: 53” outside to outside
Bridgestone YLC: 52.5” outside to outside
Bridgestone YDS: 52” outside to outside
PROBLEM: The rear end of the kart keeps sliding around, forcing oversteer.
SOLUTION: Narrow the rear track width by .25” per side, creating a .5” adjustment
overall. This will stiffen the rear end, and work the outside tire harder.
PROBLEM: The kart is hopping through the middle of the corner.
SOLUTION: Widen the rear track by .25” per side, creating a .5” adjustment overall. This
will soften the rear axle, creating a wider base for the kart through the corner.
