Finally good news,sled now rocks,and transfers very good

Heard someone took out rear wheels without the bar, so I did not try that.

Pretty sure that guy had oversized wheels...

Not sure what's up with this .. But I really have no problem getting mine to float the skis(1-2 inches off ground) to 80 mph.. I guess I will say that my LTX-SE transfers very well for how hard I ride. NOW after running two different 129's(12 cat,15 cat) before this>those transferred better.. The problem I had this year with my first 137 was trying to set it up and make it act more like a 129.. These have to be set up to be SOMEWHAT flatter into and through the corners.. I know if your riding on the blocks all the time and or to soft in back it is a lot harder to get transfer. And I understand that makes no sense but you HAVE to adjust your front half also. It handles like SH&% if your bottomed out and riding on the blocks and or bar(if blocks are removed).. Very fine line and its hard not to ride on the coupler blocks and still be somewhat soft in back(especially on the 137).. When I sit on my sled (stopped)after riding for 30 miles it does not touch the metal rod (coupler blocks removed).
My sled does drop a bit in front when I let off gas > which is also a huge part of the transfer process. IMO

It took me a bit this year to get it through my head that I needed to set it up to be flatter then past sleds, and its (137 coupled) just a different approach into and through the corners. . The one thing I changed on mine from stock was the front track shock spring. I feel the stocker is to soft on initial sit in.. And What I mean is when you sit on the sled its to soft and sags to much (in the middle).. Which I believe puts more ski pressure on sled and gives hard steering. So then I cranked mine up and I lost the travel some and it got to stiff. I have always felt that this spring is VERY important on the procross chassis. And maybe even more so on the 137 coupled.. Just seems if this spring is to soft or to stiff it throws the whole handling off.. If your a light weight guy (under 180) the front track shock(stock) is probably fine.. The front track shock spring on the LTX- SE model is to soft on the initial sit in rate.. I went with a RAPTOR spring.. Which I believe to be very close to 135/260... The stocker is 90/260 I believe

Just my two cents on a LTX_SE not sure if this pertains to other models.. Guys that want a lot of transfer should really go with a 129.. The 137 is more of a flat riding sled.

yes sir,allen sent me that and a red spring,but because the spring tang was clocked different,it was suppose to be set at 0+1 but my notes said o+3,so that may be some of the reason it was not opening up all the ways on the helix ramps.

Did not see your post about the secondary spring tangs and orientation.. 3/3 was what I ran with stock secondary spring

The only way you will take out the rear wheels,is if the wheels are not stock,the 8" wheels were in during our short drag season back in nov. And our rod and blocks were completely out,and from a dig,with loose track,and long straps,wow,wheelie 2-3Feet and hold for 150 ft,on grass,and it had the same 192 studs in than,i now have.

Ya,my tune and clutching is his stage 2 clutch set up,red cat spring,set at 0&1 with STM 38 helix. You did what I still may do next year,and that is change front skid coil over spring on skid. But my sons sled which is what you have,does run different coil spring,on the LTX-LE we have dule rate springs,or two different coil springs,a smaller wire start spring,short in length,sitting on top of bigger wire bottom spring,dont know the rates of these,but steve the shoc doc did mention this is not the spring he would want on his SW,and he may be correct.But right now we relaxed that spring,which does put more weight back on the skis,but it was beating up shawn,who weighs 150 lbs,and relocated the skid,into the tunnel,because we could not get it to stop the out of control track rachet we had,the extra benefit of doing this,somehow helped the transfer on this 137,now it does not fall back onto the stop on the rod,by just sitting on it,with him or myself. But under power,it does transfer back and just rocks now!
