Track tension

[RUDY]

i have a 06 m7 what kinda track tension should there be?It looks very loose now.
I don't know if there's less tenison on a mountain sled but i thought it was suppose to be about 3/4-1"

Arctic Cat calls for about 2 inches of sag---I would suggest HRP relocation brackets to allow the suspension to cycle better

i use the two fingers under the hifax well thats my 2 cents

As loose as you can run it without it ratcheting....or hitting the tunnel.
Tension will change depending on traction.

I was taught 2 inches at 20 lbs pull. I use a fish scale to pull the track. Course this can be run looser or tighter acording to the sled. My 04 1M works great set like this. Never ratchets and i have pictures of the suspension squished and over 4 inches between track and rails.

This is how I do it too. Can seem really loose some times, but that means less friction. As long as it isn't ratcheting it's all good.

I agree run it as loose as you can

the guy i did buy it off seemed like he knew what he was talking and he rode it in the mountains.He said he bought a relocation kit for it or something like that.He said the 06 m7 has a problem with ratcheting.I think it'll be fine but'll have to wait until i can taker out

Relocation kit is good for your sled. Solved the track tension issues. You should have no probs.
