THE PERFECT FIT
M-10 Suspension
SETTING LIMITER / SKI PRESSURE
Your M-10 rear
suspension has come
from the factory set up
to delivery 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.
1. To set the limiter, determine if the rider prefers comfort or control.
Lean toward the #4 setting for comfort and towards the #3 settings for
aggressive riding.
2. For full hole adjustments remove the 5/16” nut and flat washers from
the lower attachments of the limiter straps and relocate straps to the
desired position (i.e. position 4 to 3). Replace the nut and washer and
re-tighten.
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. It is now
easy to change to half-step hole positions (re-tighten pinch bolts if
loosened).
3. FRONT ARM MOUNTING HOLES. There are also 2 front arm
mounting holes in the slide rail that can adjust ski pressure. The lower
hole (A) increases ski pressure while the upper hole (B) decreases ski
pressure.
NOTE: By design, the BIASED COUPLE suspension system
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.
