I installed a 136" Fast m-20 on my 07 Apex RTX. I followed the instructions and the skid mounted with out issue. I cannot get the skid to move and Brian at Team Fast seems to think it is binding up some how and offered some tips to locate the problem. I plan to perform the recommendations and wanted to throw out a post to see if anyone else with this skid had the same problems. As always thanks for any input. 
I have that skid I have zero problem. do you have to much air in it. I run 40 psi in the front shock and about 62to65 in the rear.smoothes thing ever rode on.
I am running between 25-30psi in the front and 50-60psi in the backto, so Idon't think it's the psi. I plan to remove the skid and re-install over the weekend and hope I find the problem. I hoped this skid would be the best ridding thing I ever rode, but as of now is rides like #*$&@!

For troubleshooting purposes, maybe back pressures off a bunch to help see what's going on? Loosening the track up may be a good plan as well.
I know the M-10's, when installed per directions, would tighten the track as the springs compressed....
Ahicks thanks for the reply the track is per instructions and pretty loose. I have a new track it it stretched quite a bit during the first few hundred miles and i rode for probably 50miles with it very loose and it didn't seem to make a difference. Brian at Fast said to loosen the mounting bolts at the front first and then move to the back. He said only do one thing at a time so you can narrow down the cause. Sounds good, let's see if it works.
i weigth 185 with out gear.i ride hard my set up is 40 in the front around 60 ish in the rear that depenese on the trail condition like bumps. the limiter strap bolt is 3/4 the way in. the track has 1/2 inch of sag in it.
I weigh 210 w/o gear and ride hard as well. Lots of rough trails in the East. When I can get the skid to move I will play around with the settings to get to where I like. Thanks!
try to set track to teamfast spec's not yamaha spec's some else on here is think is having the same problem.
I do have it set to Fast specs....1/2" free sag. I'll post what I find after I figure this out. thanks again for input 
try 40 psi in the front pull strap up 3/4 inch.
Well it seems that a combination of loosing up the track and locking bracket at the rear cross shaft did the trick. I was able to fully compress the skid with out air, which I was unable to do before. Brain and all that suggested loosing the track were correct. Thank you as always for your advise.
We are leaving for the County on Thursday and I hope the M-20 is all I hoped for.

what is the locking bracket,where is it,thanks
glad you got it fixed. don't no what the locking bracket is. hope you have a good ride.
the locking bracket is the aluminum piece that mounts to the right side of the rear cross shaft. It has a knock out to fit the end of the shaft. The installation instructions outline this and it has a cetain way to be lined up. I'll check back in if this doesn't work. Thanks again!
yes i made sure i put that on the right way. could by a problem.that stops the track from flopping down.
