M7 what to do

[biggdaddy]

I am a novice rider that bought a M7 last year and I am wondering what is the best thing to do. I put a boss seat, cutler clutch kit, can, and side vents, hep relocation bracket , rear shocks revalved and heavy duty springs on the rear, this is all I have done to it. I am not sure I should do anything else I want a pull and go sled and my favorite type of ridind is boondocking and trail riding. I have read a bunch of post on here on m series and just wondering if I should be doing different things. Like I said I am looking for reliability and pull and go. Any imput to what other easy and low maint things that might help out performance would be greatly appriciated and I have read about the rot head ect. Thanks

Well I would recommend doing jaws twins with a fuel controller, an egt, and an rkt head

The twins on the M7 were a nightmare for me. Certainly not your pull and go like some might suggest.

That frustration lasted about 4 hours out west and then I took them off in the parking lot in favor of the stock setup. It's been on there ever since.

Get yourself some sort of running board insert/replacement and a 2 wheel kit. Then spend the rest on gas!

Performance

I have a great idea maybe you should not pack that 24 pack of beer under the seat.
Or just go buy a new M8

Just my two cents

I think, unless you are over 300#, you're not gonna want those heavy springs on the back. If you have an attack-20 track, you might consider the powerclaw or camoplast. Other than that, ride it, then fix what you don't like.

It will likely need new bushings in the front arms, may need secondary clutch, may need fuel pressure fixed, watch hose fittings in the tunnel for leaks, check oil use ratio, Probably other stuff I forgot.

^^^^This here is the best thing you could do to any M7!^^^^

Way! way! better than any engine mods you could do!

The POWER CLAW and the '09 REAR END will turn that M7 into a whole new sled!

 

[bannockrider]

best thing to do............. give it to me!

I rode an m7 153 most of last year, the weakest part of the sled was the the challenger track so i would say get a powerclaw.Were did you get the heavy duty rear springs and do you have a part #.

Like said above, powerclaw track, RKT head, and alot of folks have had good luck throwing more weight at the primary clutch. Do a search and you will have your answer.

Clutch

STM 11" secondary and there primary weight set up!
