what are some things i can do to get my 97 mm 600 to hook up and lift the skis? no matter what the snow is like (hard, deep powder) all it wants to do is spin the track and wont pick the skis up. it has a near new track on it that is stock, sled only has 1200 miles on.

let out the straps, and set the transfer rods to max transfer, hopefully your mountain max has a 2 in paddle, for further ski lift, clutch it, gear it way down, and add more hp!
limiter straps out as far as they can go, FRA at the A position, ski shocks somewhere between #1 and #3, center skid shock adjusted to the #5 position, rear skid shock set at #1. give that a whirl.
prior to adjustments, note where the settings are currently for a return point.
now you just need to learn to time the trigger with the body weight shift and have fun!

what if i get rid of the transfer rods and use straps in place, kinda like the kit that mountain performace has? and its a 136 with 1.5 lugs

Ditch the rods, and use straps, loosen up the limiters in the front almost all the way.....Should lift the skis some then.......
thats what i was thinking and i have a mbrp race can that should be here tomorrow.

You think the "can" is going to make you wheelie better?
no. well kinda. its removing a lot of weight from the front of the sled
you are removing weight equivelent of the third cylinder. ok thats an exageration, but the suitcase is heavy.dukie169 said:
I cut 1/2" from the bottom of my transfer rod collers so that it can rock back farther. It is a freebie to try before spending money on limiter straps.

get rid of the transfer rods. get a transfer enchancment kit (belts) its easy to make and will cost nothing. dont make the same mistake I did tho. make sure to cut off the threads flush with the nut on the middle of the back arm. or else it will get stuck between the rails and ruin them

enjoy the can. but enjoy it for the sound, not the weight or performance, because u wont notice that difference.
I have an 03 Mt Viper. I've tried it with no transfer rods a while back. Off trail performance was no better than with and the sled was flat out dangerous on the trail. Also caused massive wear to many critical skid parts like wheels and shocks. I'm leaving my transfer rods on my sled.
And in terms of the limiter straps, I do not let my limters all the way out when riding off trail. All the sled does is trench badly if the skid is allowed to hang down and out at max underneath the sled. There is a happy medium to be found where you set the limiter straps about half way. The off trail performance is actually better because the skid does not just hang way down and out and trench. My advice is to suck the limiter straps in some -- I'm about half way up.
