THE PERFECT FIT
FAST M-10 ACE Suspension Adjustments
The FAST M-10 ACE (Adjustable Control Electronics) is a new
feature available for some FAST M-10 rear suspensions. It enables a
rider to easily adjust the suspension for weight and riding style.
The M-10 ACE is an electronically controlled module that replaces the
standard M-10 F RA. The ACE changes the rear shock motion ratio by
moving the lower shock pivot point a t otal of 1 1/4 inches, the same
amount of adjustment as the standard FRA. A gauge on the console
displays the current position of the shock, from soft to firm or
somewhere in between.
M-10 ACE Settings
A switch labeled “ESC” on the left-hand control assembly is used to
adjust the position of the ACE module. The following instructions
describe all the features programmed into the ACE module.
1. By pressing the l eft hand control switch up (firm) or down (soft)
one time, the lower pivot moves .14 inch, giving the operator a
total of nine distinct positions. The console gauge will show the
current ACE position.
2. If the soft or firm switch i s pressed more than one time in
succession, it will adjust as many increments as the switch is
pressed. The electronics will “do the math” for the user t o
minimize travel time. For example, if the rider pushes “firm”
twice, and then “soft” t hree times, the unit will move to one
position softer t han the current position.
3. If the soft or firm switch is held for five seconds or more, the AC E
will adjust to the far end of the travel, corresponding to which
button was pressed.
4. A fail-safe mode has been programmed into the controller to
protect the electronics and to notify the operator of a system
malfunction. If the m odule cannot adjust the suspension after one
of the switches has been pressed (most likely due to an obstruction
or heavy ice buildup), t he controller will enter a failure mode,
which is indicated by the gauge needle moving rapidly between
soft and firm. This mode will continue indefinitely and is reset
when the engine is turned off and restarted. If this mode is
encountered, we recommend that the operator turn off the engine
and inspect the unit for any obstruction or ice buildup on the shock
or module.
