SEAT STYLE AND POSITIONING (CONT)
PROBLEM: The kart slides through the corner and oversteers on exit.
SOLUTION: Although there are plenty of chassis adjustments to help solve this issue,
adjusting the seat can correct the problem as well. Moving the entire seat backwards
(or simply tilting the seat backwards) in 0.25" increments will provide the rear end of
the kart with an increase in overall weight percentage, which will make the front end
less reactive and the rear end more stable. Another option is to change to a softer
seat. A softer seat will provide more side bite than a stiffer seat.
PROBLEM: The kart understeers on corner entry, then snaps loose on exit.
SOLUTION: Moving the seat forward (or tilting the seat up) in 0.25" increments will help
provide the front end with more weight percentage, thus helping balance front end
grip. This change will also encourage increase weight transfer from the chassis.
Consequently, moving the seat forward will decrease the chassis stability under heavy,
high-speed braking.
NOTE: It is very important that the seat does not get bound up during installation. If
the seat is bound up when mounted, the rest of the kart will be bound up too.
Make sure not to fill any gaps between mount and seat by tightening the mounting
bolts during installation. Shim the seat accordingly. It is better to have an out of
round mounting hole in the seat than it is to have a seat be forced into position due
NOTE: Seat position does effect high speed braking. Having the seat further forward
will make the kart slightly less stable under heavy, straight-line braking.
