looking for a little more ski bite, pulled limiter strap up a to the middle hole, i now see the track tension is real loose, how loose do you guys run them or should i just go by manual, also, any bad side effects from pulling the strap up, thanks

what machine are you talking about?
if it's an Apex i may be able to help you.
too much ski pressure will be a pain, i am 250 dressed so i have my spring on the shock on the second clip and about half way on the preload adjustment. I just let my limiter strap all the way off (had it one hole down) so as to get myself LESS ski pressure, took it for a 100 mile rip today on hard packed trails and it rails! I also have my transfer rod set almost to full max setting.
I should also mention that i have 144 1.45 studs and 6" carbides with homemade (pipe) tracker type things on stock ski's.
i like a loose track, most say run it loose enough so it will not ratchet on hard acceleration. mine hangs about 2" when the sled is lifted from the rear.

I found when i ran mine that loose I was getting some funky hyfax wear. Very uneven like the track was ballooning. I went back to factory specs and seems better and still rolls fine.

With a fish scale, pull track to 22lbs at 1" 1/4 to 1" 3/4
