M-20 Air Wave Question

[Talisman44]

Snapped my supension and in the final moments of installing my new M-20 in the sled. Just noticed that the front shock has very little preasure in it. very easy to compress. Does anyone know if this is normal for this skid. I am thinking not. Called factory and they are closed today. Do not want to get the skid all the way in and have to pull it back out.

Thanks

How hard was it to install? I managed to snap mine and planning on going same route I think.

Pretty straight forward. I have about 8 hours into it. Half of it was installing the onboard compressor, electrical and guage. Looks like it will be at least onother week before I can test the ride out.

This is normal on their new calabration, they have removed the front air spring

skid

it will interesting to see how it rides, with update the front shock has little
pressure, but they say it will gain as it needs it as you ride. i hope their right.
i hope we can try soon.

do you guy's have the air bag on the front shock or the rubber stopper.

Just ordered my m20 diamond with the fat boy kit today.

I have just the bumpstop, just getting enough snow today to go play in the field. I've been dieing to try it out, gotta go lol.

I had Fast update my shocks to the Platnum Spec when they were re building them and the front shock no longer has the airbag. They sent the actual airbag back to me with the shocks.

Cant wait to try it out and I agree most of the install time was mounting the compressor, airlines/switch/guage and electric.

Let us know what you think of the M-20 after you ride it.

I put on about 20 miles today, only have about 4" of snow so mainly in the field, seems to work well but will need to get more snow to see how tippy it will be, it feels light in the front and yet still steers well, was easy to ride on one ski so I believe it feel much more active instead of heavy and planted in the front. I like a light feel to the front so I think this will be fun to ride. I have not changed my front to raise it to match the rear yet I want to keep it low if I can for stability but may have to raise some and possibly put on a heavyer swaybar. Only a little ratcheting of track when jumping up over a hill in a wheelly and on the gas. Started at 69-70 # of pressure and ended at 65-66#'s, I'm about 300#'s, very little movement to start but smooth the with lower pressure lots of travel but did not feel close to bottoming just using it's travel. Lots of testing yet to come when conditions improve. So far I'm impressed.
