2022 137” bottoming out nearly with no one on.

Go all the way out with straps

Will give that a go in the am. One hole left I think.
I put snowtrackers on and their instructions were to let strap out but I wanted to test it some. I unloaded front ski springs per their instructions. I know i slightly skewed from original topic but might have some bearing.

Make sure the sled is sitting on flat ground when you are looking at it

Ya it’s on flat ground.

I found there were 2 holes left.
I went out one. Which was about 1/2” from where it was. Hard to say if made much of a difference although doesn’t seem to be sagging quite as much. I will try this maybe today and then go the other hole out maybe.

If you let out the strap, make sure the spring is tight enough not to fall out of the retainer

Okay. I looked and it seems fairly tight yet. I will double check.

I will my next attempt. Would I still need to when riding solo?
I just figured out what the noise was I was hearing when hitting a mild bump. I have BRP tunnel mounted scratchers. The track was hitting the tip of the scratcher and I could not figure out what it was. It sounded like the track was ratcheting but the sound was from back left side mostly. I put scratchers down and we tested it out quickly and sound went away.

Here are some pictures of my skid. This is an SRX, setup stiff, firm preload, firm setting on IQS.
Yes, it is dirty..

you might try one of those 4 position spring adjusters to get you through until you can get new springs. It will give you another setting higher. https://www.ndzperformance.com/NDZ-...-Adj-Blocks-4-Pos-Silver-p/acat-4-pos-sil.htm

Grease the 4 zerk fittings in the rear skid, keep pumping till grease comes out some.

Make sure the fwd end on the rear spring holders are not upside down. Spring should be above the mounting bolt.

shawnj, where you riding out of on your vacation?

 

[sxr70001]

I’m sure you probably know this but these sleds collapse the rear end for some reason if the skis are on wheels. Makes it seem like there is no rear suspension at all.

I can do that!
