well it was such a nice day I just had to pull the F7 off the trailer and check it out.. Everything looks good after the trip last week.. One hint I should point out.... Check tension on the front suspension mounting bolts..The ones right by your feet. These bolts are a little short and don't seem to want to stay tight. They just barely catch the nylock nuts. A word to the wise here.. Check these before your next ride! Same goes for the little bolts that hold the slide rod ends on. Same deal, but once you tighten them they seem to stay tight.
OK, so I put the coupling blocks to #3 (highest setting), and also I pulled up the limiter straps one hole (to the middle hole on the strap). Then I took it for a ride. Differences? Well it really made a big change. Cuts the ski lift down to a minimum. Almost too much. I was just getting used to the mega transfer, and this cuts it down considerably. I'm not positive that I will leave it this way, but I will for a while at least to get used to it and give it a chance. But for anyone that hates the transfer and ski lift on the firecat as it comes from the factory, this is a setup to try. One thing for sure...this sled sure is sensitive to adjustments. A little goes a long way. There is a lot you can do to tune this suspension to your own tastes.. so don't just leave it as it was delivered to you... make a few changes and see how you like it. One thing about stuff like this, it's fun and it don't cost a cent!
Here's a picture I just took.. I think it sits a little lower now.. what do you think?
