THE PERFECT FIT
M10 Suspension
M10 F eatures
NOTE: The M10 has been designed to be very sensitive to rider
weight. Changes in rider weight of 25 lbs. or more might require ap-
propriate changes in FRA settings. Refer to the chart on page 42 for
specifications.
Internal Floating Piston Shock - A high-pressure gas shock absorber,
with its gas reservoir inside the main shock body. Shock oil, is kept
separate from the gas by means of a floating internal piston. The shock
used on the front arm of t he M10 is of this type. The advantages of
these shocks are consistency and reduced fade performance.
Remote Reservoir Shock - When a shock’s nitrogen and oil are
separated by a floating piston or bladder in an external chamber, they
are referred to as REMOTE RESERVOIR shocks. Some advantages of
this type of shock are consistency i n shock performance, reliability, and
reduced fade performance. The M10’s rear shock absorber is of this
type.
Thre aded Preload Adjuster - The top section of the X-OVER TUBE
(back tube at the top of the rear shock) has a threaded collar on it. The
rear spring has a lock tab that fits into the collar to allow easy
PRELOAD adjustment.
To increase PRELOAD, use a kit spanner wrench to rotate the
X-OVER TUBE towards the PTO side of the sled (clockwise when
viewed from below). Rotate towards the MAG side to decrease
PRELOAD (counter-clockwise when viewed from below). For more
information, refer to page 44.
Tuning Terms
Spring Rates - Describes how many pounds of force it takes to
compress a spring one inch. Therefore, if a 250 lb. weight was set on
top of a spring and it compressed one inch, it would be rated at 250
lbs./inch.
