Got a chance to ride a few diff sleds. Noticed my thump throttle return spring was more than all others. My thump gets tired way fast. Did not get tired on other sleds. I cannot really see an easy way to tweek it for less tension. Any ideas?

Is your sled a triple and the others twins? It's a little harder to pull 3 carbs open, but well worth it. :)
 
No, I wish :2strokes: . 97 600 twin. Throttle seems super smooth,but heavy.
I rode with 2 poo guys 1 wth 600 bb twin other with 600 tripple.The spring tension of both poos was much less. off topic but mine actually seemed to have the most rip. The extra 12 seems smoother though!! They might of had more top end. Never really lined em up?

Ideas on that spring tension?
Cannot wait to get back up there to do some ripping and pick sled up.
Thought it was never gonna snow down here so I just left it up to get fixed.
my bad.

I have a buddy that rides with a few rubber bands around the flipper to help take some of the tension off. Look everything over real good and make sure nothing is binding. Other than that your hand will get stronger after a few rides.
