Other Ride and Performance Settings
Ski Pressure
Ski pressure is set at the factory to deliver the optimum balance between
ride and handling. If a rider prefers more ski pressure for improved
steering performance, adjustments can be made to the front limiter strap
and front arm mount.
1. Determine if the rider
prefers comfort or con-
trol. Lean toward the #4
setting for comfort and
toward the #3 setting for
aggressive riding.
2. For full hole adjust-
ments, remove the 5/16I
nut and flat washers from
the lower attachments of
the limiter straps and
relocate the straps to the desired position (i.e. move from position 4
to 3). Replace the nut and washer. Tighten securely.
3. For half-hole increments (such as 3/4), the limiter straps have slots
at the upper pinch bolt. These slots allow the bolts to be loosened
(rather than removed) for half-step adjustments. Re-tighten the
pinch bolts.
4. There are also two front
arm mounting holes in
the slide rail that can
adjust ski pressure. The
lower hole (1) increases
ski pressure while the
upper hole (2) decreases
ski pressure.
NOTE: By design, the BIASED COUPLE design of the M-10 suspen-
sion displaces the rear arm as the front arm is compressed.
This means that when you raise the front limiter strap, at some
point you will collapse the rear suspension arm, which will
affect SAG height and reduce rear suspension travel.
