PU a 2008 SP M1000 - 153"

So - I just picked up a 2008 SP M1000 - 153" hold over for a very good price. Headin' to Whistler on Thursday morning for the Big Dawg Shootout.

Now what? i've got a bucket parts a mile deep and two miles across of "M" parts, but only a limited amount of time before i go.

Tonight i'll finish putting my Boss seat on, do a 3" riser, toss the windshield, and then the Geo mod and correct air pressure in the shocks (55psi up front, 90psi out back??).

I also will be putting on my scratchers and pullin the boggies. I'd like to put my 156" CE on before i go, but won't have the right socket in time. No worries though, the 153" will work fine for this weekend.

Also of note, i pulled my secondary and belt and washed them all in hot soapy water as well as the primary. Currently clutching is STOCK, with 83g arms in the primary, Ti springs, and the straight 36, runing the 060 belt, though i'm bringing the 046 along too. Also, there was NO shims behind the secondary, so added one just to keep the clutch off the bearing. OK? Will be checking the alignment the first time i ride.

Before i leave this week, should i do anything else? Here's what i have in the parts bin:

44/41-37 full 10.4" clutch with shift assist and the orange spring. This worked well on my M7 with twins, any good on the 1000? How about the stock weights? 83g's OK?

Any other words of advice would be great to i can start heading in the write direction.

Thanks!

So, its OK to run no shim at all between the clutch and the diamond drive?

As for SEEYACOP beating me, with the sled stock i could see that happening, but not with a pipe. I've been running with a few M1000s with singles this year and even on SEEYACOPs best running days the M1K goes right by. I haven't seen anything come close to climbing with the 1000 in the same length track. True story - his 800 runs hard, but its no match in the steep and deep for the 1000. Probably what's pushed over the edge into buying one. On top of that, no finicky twins to deal with. Just pull and go power everytime. We ride lower here, so maybe that's part of it?

I am putting my powder pros on tonight.

no geo mod huh? so many liked it!?

how about clutching?

Good info - thanks!

Any more would be great!

Quick question on the shocks and air pressure though - do you set the pressure with the sleds weight on it or with no weight?
