REAR RIDE HEIGHT
Rear ride height can be adjusted to raise
or lower the center of gravity toward the
rear end of the kart. The Ignite K3 comes
with two vertically adjustable axle
positions. The standard placement is with
the axle in the highest position, which
keeps the rear end of the frame low.
NOTE: Rear ride height positions must be the same for both of the bearing cassettes
to ensure proper alignment of the axle.
PROBLEM: The kart hops through the middle of the corner.
SOLUTION: Drop the rear axle down to the lower ride height holes. This will move the
C.O.G. towards the front of the kart, giving the front end more weight percentage.
PROBLEM: The kart understeers through the center of the corner.
SOLUTION: Make sure your axle is in the upper mounting holes, which will push the
C.O.G. toward the rear of the kart, creating an increase in rear grip.
NOTE: Before changing the axle ride height positions, loosen the bearing set screws.
Occasionally, if left tight, the set screws will cause the axle to bind.
NOTE: Always tighten axle set screws when changing axles. If needed, use blue
LocTite on each set screw before tightening.
