setting up M10 suspension on an Apex 162

1.I'm looking for more transfer.

2.sometimes it doesn't bounce back up when compressed. I already have the ring on the rebound coil (inside coil) set on the lowest setting for max rebound.
 
Did you get the extensions for the rubber stops, keeps skid from going over center and sticking?? Trevor at Mac's Machine has them, world of difference, can roll the shock all of the way back without trouble. Loosen limiter straps should help you pull a wheelie. Mine has no problem when I lay my shock down and hugs the ground when I roll the jack ahead. I'm sure there are other guys on here that know a hell of a lot more than me about them.
 
Darko, do I have those extensions for the rubber stops?^^

any tips on why my M10 suspension is sticking?

what pressure should I have in the fox shock on the front?

thanks:beer;
 
I just looked at a picture of it when it still belonged to Shirley and it didnt have the extensions. They are cheap to buy. They just bolt in under the rubber bumpers, bolt to the rails, then bolt to the bumpers again, made from aluminum and weigh nothing. Like I said, I can soften it right up with the jack and flatten it right out.
 
There's no need for extensions if the skid is set up properly. What your tryin to refer to is "caming over". Extensions maybe a band aid, but its not a solution. If your rear shock is too loose it will cam over, if the rebound spring is too soft it cams over, if the rear lower shock is to far back it will cam over. They all work together in a sense, baby steps on adjusting to get it perfect.

If you want transfer, it's the wrong skid for you plain and simple. M-10's are designed for minimal transfer, you can adjust mounting position, have weak shock, cut transfer blocks, loosen limiters etc etc, it will add a small degree of transfer compaired to what it was before, but in comparison to another skid, they virtually dont have transfer. Hence why we love them for high HP sleds.

That skid is mounted for a max ski lift of 5 to 6 inch's on avg conditions, soft snow trenching down may give the feeling of "ski lift" or transfer, but its not.

The front fox float in that skid rides good at 80 to 96 lbs. If your climbing something steep and want the ski's planted (which you dont by reading this post) let the air down to 10-20 lbs, it will be glued to the snow. If you wanna boon all day in the pow, air it to 130 lbs.


On your resivoir, turn up the rebound, on rear lower shock axle adjuster go to the middle position on the adjustmet bars (forward) or more, cut your transfer blocks by an 1/8'' or 1/4" at most and try that.
 
thanks Darko and Adrenalin.
the sled does keep the nose planted when climbing, and I like it set up like that most of the time.

the main problem I'm having is the coil caming over. I already have the rebound spring on the tightest setting, and the remote res on max but it still happens. especially with 5g of fuel on the rack.


I'll try this first:
"on rear lower shock axle adjuster go to the middle position on the adjustmet bars (forward) or more"
