Sidewinder mtx 162 secondary spring clock

[jeff catte]

Do all of the Sidewinder mtx 163 have their secondaries clocked at 3-1 stock? The 2017 service manual says it's 3-1. I'm trying to figure out where to try the Dalton orange spring. Other models are 3-3 so the 6-2 recommendation from Dalton is close to stock.

Set it according to Dalton's recommendation of 6-2.

Isn't Dalton's recommendation of 6-2 is for the sleds that come factory at 3-3? I'm just curious if all mountain sleds came clocked at 3-1 instead of 3-3 or if it changed after 2017.

The mountain sleds stock spring is much better at 3-3 as well, it doesn't matter what the original spring setting was, you're replacing it with an aftermarket spring and it's suggested setting is 6-2.

Yes go with the aftermarket recommendation , 3 1 factory recommendation never worked all that great . If you do run the factory spring try 33 or higher .

Ok thanks. Just felt like my sled was reving higher. I have 1300km on it in the mountains with the factory at 3-1 and no belt issues and seemed to preform good. I'm hoping it doesn't run too hot.
