Last weekend I bought a used M10 suspension to put into my 2000 SRX700. I don't know what year the suspension is. As luck would have it, it just happened to come off of an SRX so I got the installation kit with it. I have the installation template but I don't have any installation instructions.

Does anybody know where I can find some instructions?

Attached is a picture of the suspension I bought.

Contact fast and they will set you up with everything you need. You are going to need a couple of wrenched to adjust the crossover tube.
 
when you install that style m10 with the front arms that bolt in 4bolts you will want to drill a hole through the arms where it will line up with your handlebar hoop. bolt through this so it cant move around and this is the strongest part of the sled.

easiest way to install it is to not use the side brackets and order the front shaft and spacers for an Rx1. you can then just use the stock front hole, the rear hole is about a 1/2in higher and about 1in further ahead.

the front shaft is about 40$ last one i bought.

that is metric version, it takes sliders from an old style 96 formula III sled. do yourself a favor and just buy yamaha slides. they will fit if you grind about 1/32 off each side of the rail. I did mine because it is very hard to find anyone who stocks the old slides as they fit so few sleds and very long ago.

you will also probly want to cut some off the slide block to add a little bit better accelleration.

adjustment is similar to a proaction, they use an fra to adjust speed of shock/spring travel and you will want to adjust for 50/50 or 60/40 gap on the top and bottom of the slide block whith your weight on the sled.

track adjustment is very different from pro action, dont tighten it that tight. m10s have some tension issues and they get tighter the more you compress them so when they are hanging the track will look loose
