Got the sled home from dealer for 500 mile service and they didn't adjust my track tension I know the book says 22 lbs but have heard that is too tight. The track was racheting when I took to the dealer and still rachets. Never had this problem with my RTX . What are people finding for the sweet spot for the attack/LTX s Thanks Mark :jump:

someone with your set-up will get you closer.your weight has a little to do with it.i have a 121 with no studs,175 with gear and i do 2 finger snug at inner rear wheels works best for me with my set-up. your 16in apes must flex 2in when you do hook-up no racheting! :Rockon:
 
mine did the same thing when I got it,set it the way the book says if your slides still have pleaty left on them. little bit looser isn,t going to hurt anything.
 
Adjust it just tight enough so it doesn't rachet, as loose as possible. Be careful once it rachets to much the drivers will get rounded off and you'll never get it to stop racheting, especially in deep snow. Best fix is to put on extrovert drivers and it will be good to go!
