Ok so i just picked up some FKX Pros (yellow and black) and its my first pair of FKS style bindings. I have a few questions.

1. The din window is missing. Will this effect anything?

2. They are mounted with a race plate (which i know they will come off of) but theres a piece that kinda puts them at an angle on the heelpiece will this come off?

3. Prob a stupid noob question but they really dont really wanna pivot a whole lot is this normal?

Thanks and Plus karma for helpful answers.

1. No that doesn't matter.
2. You can take off the "race plate" but you need shorter screws. That black piece is the bottom of the heelpiece, it angles your foot foward, this is the design of the binding, it has foward lean.
3. I forget what three was.

3. No, don't worry about it, there's just dirt in there. You can lube them up if you chose. But just because it doesn't move a lot when you push it with your hand, doesn't mean it won't move when you are pushing it around with all your weight.

is there a way to take the forward lean off so its mounted flat? Or will it not really affect anything?

Nope, that's just how the binding is... I doubt you'll even be able to notice it, and it's not a bad thing to have a little forward lean going on, keeps you in an aggressive mountain charging stance.

if your good with mechanical stuff, id take them completely apart, clean and re-grease them. they last long enough to get REALLY dirty inside, which sometimes makes um sketch. if you wanna do it, hit me up and ill write out instructions.

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIAM MOMENT: If you say, plus karma, you should actually give it. I would have answered your thread if you didn't say that, but someone else might not have...so in the future, be ware that when this kid says " plus karma" he doesn't mean it.

Technically no. I assume you’re talking about theforward angle but it doesn’t make a significant difference with switch orregular riding. If you're really motivated you can find a toe plate from anaxial jib series or axial 2 and put them on
