Hi,

I just signed up for this forum and it is by far the best SRX forum around. anyway I have some questions about simple upgrades. I've Been reading about clutch springs and weights but im not sure what I should be going for. I do mostly trail riding with the occasional lake session. Im not even sure if this is something I should do and thats why I ask you seasoned srx riders what you recommend.

I am running into a issue when I go to load the sled on the trailer the carbides bring me to a crazy stop. any easy fixes for this or replace the skis?

Thanks
last season

there is a multitude of info/setups for clutches in the tech section. i still haven't got through the bulk of it. if you're haveing the loading problem on a tilt deck trailer one thing we always did was keep a short piece of plywood the width of a sled in the trailer for a little ramp. saved a lot of wear on the edge of the trailer deck and made for smoother loading.

i always grind the edge of the carbide if its flat in the front ive bought a set of carbides that where flat and caught on anything in the front... but you need a special grinding wheel to do so...

There's a few companies that make glides for trailer/ramps to cure this issue too but if you have an old truck box liner lying around or know where you can get one cheap just cut a couple of lengths and screw it to your trailer deck,VOILA.

My Viper would do the same thing so I cut a piece of plywood (same width of skiis) with a small stop-block underneath the plywood that wedges against the lip on the trailer. Drive right on, works like a charm.

I use a set of old ski skins that were used on older sled and put them under the skis before loading in my enclosed trailor.

x2, thats what we did. but the stop block sounds like a major improvment. i like it.
