i have an 03 f5 sno pro, i was wondering what you guys are doing to get these sleds to stand up, or to get the skis to come up quite a bit. i rode an 03 rev the other day, concidering switching to one just cause of how fun they are to ride. they stand up real good. over all just fun to ride... i hate to switch, if i could get mine to do the same i would be happy.
any suggestions? |

There are 2 blocks behind the rear suspension arm in the skid. Pop those off and hold on.

you could loosen up your limiter straps and as mentioned take out the two suspension blocks and the ski's will never touch.. my sled just has a clutch kit and the ski's come up prolly 2ft out of the hole than drop down to about 4in in the 660ft

gearing down would be a good idea deffinatly for racing just set it up to pull hard for the 660ft and youll be set for trails as well if you cant get the ski's off the ground something is wrong as mentioned^^
