Your welcome.. Having the limiter straps shorter is definitely taking away your transfer.. The 137 coupled is not known for having lots of transfer but straps out and blocks removed is about the best way to get some transfer
Whats the set up for your new 2022? Have you change something?

I don't know what hole the rear is mounted in yours but moving to the top hole on my 2020 made it transfer better and lighter steering.

Anybody running the racewerx quick adjust coupler?
Rough trails and easy rides lots of transfer then on the days you want to cover couple hundred miles in a blink set for flat f1 handling.

I run the RaceWerx and honestly never turn it from the #2 position. Even set on #2 position the skis are off the ground too much when accelerating.
My intent was the ability to lessen the transfer and keep the skis on the ground better by putting it in the #1 position when drag racing, but then its just spinning and won't hook, so it says on #2 and you hope it stays straight as its point and shoot. I don't want it to transfer as much as it does now, but its a good happy medium now.
I don't know why people want more transfer, maybe they just don't have decent traction or a good stud pattern, but I have no trouble on decent conditions hooking and can't keep the front end down now. I even tried tightening the limiters more but lost the good ride.
I had a 146 or something non coupled here last season and the skis were never on the ground. I hated it and would never want that myself. Pretty worthless as a trail sled not being able to steer it with the skis off the ground all the time. Even had the rear shock set stiff just to try and control the ski lift. I don't see the reason why people think they need that ski lift like that. To me that is not fun, but to each their own. Wheeling is not winning, maybe it impresses the Doo riders but it doesn't impress me much...

I have had the issue of the hp compressing the rear suspension down to the bump stops under acceleration. Had to crank up rear springs more and stiffen compression on rear shock.
Thats with my limiter strap one notch shorter than stock.
Last year i could drive thru the corners with part throttle and go where it was steered. This is on the 300 ss tune. If I was off throttle had push with snow studs double downs 8 inch carbides.
Going to go back to single carbide and hopefully just try to adjust transfer for days when the snow is heavy and steering gets harder.
Looking for the perfect balance for all trail conditions.
Also running the 160/260 cat center spring.
Had my shocks serviced this fall so hopefully that will help.

I purchased the racewerks coupler back in March when I ordered sled(no sled yet, hope it fits), just wanted to say that it looks like the rear arm could hit the rear wheels if the coupler rod wasn't there. We're talking the newest 137.

Yeah, I didn't pay attention to that part of the instructions. I just made sure the set screw was tight, bolted it in, and torqued to their spec with blue Loctite on the bolts. Seems to work fine and click between positions.I got my Racewerx block. Install instructions says to put # 6setting on top and set screw pointing forward, not sure on that one since they are on the same spot on the block?

Just finished putting the racewerx adjustable coupler in my new Tcat, with the track adjusted to spec, the coupler is real close to the inner wheel. It'll probably have to come out at hyfax time so I can slacken the track.
