old m10 install on 03RX1

[montanastick]

Traded a old exciter for a 97 M10 out of a Arctic cat ZRT? (boneyard tag on suspension) This was at a sled bone yard. I have never had a M10, so I don't know much about them. I believe its a metric M10, but need to find out how to identify?

It has anodized purple/pink rails, purple wheels, Fox shocks w/ yellow springs. What is it? (will need to know to order parts)

I see the kits on FAST for $200 +/-

I read that I may need different slides in rear?

I read I need wider mounting brackets? Are these the pivot pieces that connect the suspension to the sled? I only have these on the front. Am I
missing the ones in back for mounting?
Dose the Kit have a these with it.

What size track can I run with this suspension--Studded

It has a 121 X 1 now stock, looking at a 125 ripsaw track w/studs

thanks for the help,

Go to the tech section on the Ty home page. There's a section on the M-10 install in your sled. I will tell you this from experience, I installed one in an 04 RX-1 for my wife. The M-10 puts a lot of ski pressure on the Rx. I tried everything to lessen the pressure but nothing helped. I even called FAST to get some advise and they told me there was nothing that could be done. At one point I met a guy on the trail who was lying on the ground next to his RX with a fresh install of an M-10. He thought something was wrong with the sled because it was so difficult to steer. I ended up taking the M-10 out of the sled as my wife was frightened to ride it because she couldn't turn. Just my opinion. The suspension itself was awesome, very good ride. Good luck to you.

Howdy! I have an M10 on my '03 RX1 and it works like a champ! Sucks up the bumps well and I am probably 230lbs geared up. It was on the sled when I bought it but have become pretty familia with it since. Here is a website that is helpful. I think I have the install instructions but they are at my cottage and I won't have hands on them until next weekend. Let me know if you need a copy. Or try searching the web. Here is an excellent site for the tuning of an M10 http://www.slednutz.com/showthread.php?p=49266
Also, Polaris make a hyfax that matches the M10 hyfax for a helluva lot less that calling FAST. Make sure to check all the bolts to insure tightness, a spot of Locktite blue does the trick. It's a great set up !

M10

I have a Ohlin M10 in my 04 RX1 Warrior. I wouldn't trade the ride for anything. This sled is one of the best trail cruisers I ever owned. You can ride all day and not be beat up at the end. I also have Ohlin's on the front .
