On my new to me 01 SRX with an M-10 I had to remove the skid to change the hyfax. Now that I have this out I have been reading about the setup. My biggest question is about the limiter strap setting. It was origionally set at full length which I understand makes for better weight transfer to the skid. I have also heard many people saying to tighten the limiter to the next hole, the shortest the geometry will let you go.
I have not gotten to ride the sled yet so I don't have a base line to start from with regards to adjusting the limiter. Adjusting the limiter, especially in the sled, will be a real pain in the arse.
I have heard the M-10 does not transfer weight to the rear well so my first thought is to leave the limiter at full extension... But then I read the ski lift at full extension in a turn is bad so that tells me to suck it in. I imagine there is a difference in sleds and these statements are just a guide line.
I will be riding mostly trails at moderate speeds. I want the best combination of acceleration and flat cornering. Sled is not studded. Any one with an SRX and an M-10 that can make some suggestions?
Thanks
Scott

I take the limiter off, and adjust from there. This will make the sled ride at it's best, and give max weight transfer. You can still get the flat cornering by tweaking up the rear center shock preload until the rear of the sled becomes squirly, then back it down a hair. This will keep the rear of the sled from grabing, and you should be able to kick it out a little in the corners without being tipsy. Start with the FRA/spring setings that fast recomends for your weight. This also reduces the amount of ski pressure you need to turn the sled and make the steering very easy on the arms.
Thanks for the advise. one quick question, if I do need to put the limter back on, can I do it in the sled or do I need to pull the skid?

you can do it with the skid in the sled no porblem.
