Anyone have any advice on how to setup my m-10 so that it hooks and rides at its maximum potential... I'm 6'3'' and 175lbs. Any advice on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks again,

Jim
 
Make sure you set your sled up with at least 3-4 " of sag with you sitting on it. Another adjustment worth doing,IMO,is shaving the back edge of the coupler block, This will allow the block to slide farther before contacting the rear stop. This allows the skid to "squat" and transfer more before the skid begins to couple. I can't remember exactly how much I shaved off but I think it was 1/8" to 3/16",it's been a few years. I bought a second set to have incase I went too far but never needed. I would start with an 1/16" at a time and do your best to keep them square and both sides equal. IMO the transfer you'll gain is well worth the loss of ride quality. The lighter you are the less you'll notice the ride quality difference. And one more thing, these skids don't like track tensioned too tight. I have learned to run mine as loose as I can without ratcheting. Here's a link to information, happy reading.

m-10 adjustments

I installed a M-10 in my Viper last year and started of the stiffer side of the suggested adjustment settings. I found that the lighter side of the range worked much better. Small adjustments do make a pretty decent change.

I only was able to put a few hundred miles on last year, so I am really looking forward to some good rding this year!
