Limiter Straps - INDY / RUSH / RMK Models
The limiter straps on INDY, RUSH Progressive and RMK
Coil-Over rear suspensions are not adjustable. Drilling
new holes in the straps to increase or decrease strap
length is not recommended.
Limiter Straps - Switchback 136 Models
There are two limiter straps available for Switchback 136
models. The stock limiter straps are 16.75 in. (42.5cm) in
length.
Riders that spend the majority of their riding time on hard-
p
ack, groomed trails can install optional limiter straps that
are 16.5 in. (41.9cm) in length.
The optional limiter straps are shorter than the stock
strap
s and will increase ski pressure and limit weight
transfer during acceleration
Limiter Straps - Switchback 144 Models
The limiter straps on Switchback 144 rear suspensions
are adjustable. The limiter straps are initially set in the mid
position.
Move BOTH limiter straps to the HIGH position to increase
ski p
ressure and reduce ski lift. The HIGH position moves
the balance of the snowmobile towards the front which
increases cornering characteristics, but reduces flotation.
Move BOTH limiter straps to the LOW position to decrease
ski pre
ssure and increase ski lift. The LOW position moves
the balance of the snowmobile towards the rear which
increases traction and flotation, but reduces cornering
characteristics.
Torque limiter strap nut
s to specification.
