Not totally satisfied with the Tuner Ski (6"/4") setup on my XTX. Loose snow performance is ok at best and off trail floatation is not great either. I've heard good things about the Yamaha Mountain Ski. My question is which is better the pre 2011 model or the post 2011 model? Thanks

I don't think the hole sled sags just the rear. are you thinking i should crank up my torsions or lessen the skid spring preload. I know for sure if I keep this sled, it will need to shock revalving and the star xtx kit.

I'm about 250 geared up. The rear drops about 2 inches after the usual 4-5 inch "sag" when I sit on it. I have tuners with the toe set at zero and woody's 6" inside and 4" outside. I don't think it's sitting to high, I've considered studs but it already pushes and I don't want to make it...

at least you didn't wreck to expensive skis and shocks ;)!

Belt slipping?

124 miles! I really need to slow down! :Rockon: :Rockon:

So I have my 12 XTX setup per sj's post. Loose front shocks, center skid with lots of preload, stock strap setting, and control rods in the middle. This thing rails when there is a little chop and the trails are set up. It pushed in loose stuff but i can live with it. So my question is...

Thanks for all of the great input guys!

Thinking this will be my last year on my Nytro XTX (2012), I'm looking to give Yamaha another shot as I am in love with this motor. However, I hate just about everything else this sled does unless I'm on hardpack with chop or in 2+ feet of powder. Will the RTX with 129" skid be ok for the...

Absolutely! :bling

Sorry, just getting tired of fighting with this machine. I came from 09 mxz and went yami for the warranty and reliabilty. As for the avatar I didn't want to offend anyone with too big of a pic. Just seems like everyone has a picture of their favorite toy...so I did the same :pics:

I'll let her know you guys think she looks like a dude :ot:

Thanks Grimm, my next move was to let the straps back down. I'm also going to set the toe at 0 with the bungee cords on the tips. Been thinking about studs to since all of the guys I ride with run picks.

I feel your frustration. I put tuner skis on and have been fighting a twitchy front end. I guess this sled is more of a project than a hobby. Maybe pilot skis are the answer.......if attached to an MXZ!

I have the toe set at about 1/2" out with bungee cords on the fronts of the skis. There seems to be quite a bit of play in the tie rod ends which would cause the toe to be up to 7/8". Should I be setting it at 1/4" assuming it will be more without the bungees on it?

I love everything about my '12 xtx except the handling (I guess that would mean I don't really like it). This year I added the OFT Relocator, Pioneer hyfax savers, Tuner Skis with 6" & 4" woody's. I have the ski shocks set up with no preload and dampening/rebound on full soft. One hole up...

Nytro is still the coolest looking sled ever made! Go ahead and buy a Viper and when you pass a Rush or Cat on the trail, you'll wonder "Is that what my sled looks like?"

Just did 130 miles on my '12 XTX on mostly icy trails. This morning I went all in and changed my suspension setup to the "soft and low" approach. WOW. Still needs better skis and maybe some studs but what a difference when you lower the center of gravity. Motor....flawless. The only way it would...

Hopefully they put the dupont slides, or extra wheels on for that big track! Or maybe a big ugly warning sticker that says "Do Not Operate In Marginal Snow Conditions" :Rockon:

Not sure yet. Dual carbides are definitely not the answer though. I had to go to almost zero weight transfer to get it to steer. However the snow conditions have been less that ideal. I'm thinking pilot 6.9s will be the answer.
