M1100T rear suspensions ???

[sledheadd]

I have a couple questions concerning the rear suspension.
When cranking up the boost to 240+ hp can the rear suspension be made to handle the extra power ? Or are you riding on the back wheels most of the time?
Is it a full coupling suspension?

My buddy has a M1100t that he just turned it up to 240hp and he doesn't think he will have to swap suspension.


I'm thinking of getting one of these sleds next year,a rear skid and turbo upgrade would be the first things I would do. Then crank up the boost to 300hp and let her rip. IMHO

Sounds like you need a Kmod

Thanks but that's not what i was asking?
I want to know if the stock rear skid can handle the extra hp?

I'm not sure who all makes suspensions for these yet but I would go with either a Racers edge skid or an M10.
I never tried a kmod yet.

Ran 225-240hp in my M8 for half a season, then upgraded. ( I know its not the exact same sled - but close) There was no issue with the skid holding up to the power at all - it was an issue of catwalking when climbing. IMO the factory skid will handle the power, but you will hate riding it up hill. I did the Kmod upgrade and it was huge. Not near as much catwalking. I would strongly suggest upgrading - also rides soooo much better on the trail, that alone was worth the money.
