06 attack help

[stomper]

My wife was complaining about how hard her attack was to steer. I just thought she was complaining . But I took it for a spin and it is a beast to keep under control. I don't know how she did it. The thing darts all over the place and will buck you from side to side as it follows the ruts. It is a chore to keep it from doing so. It has the stock skis on it and I know that there has been some complaints about them, but new skis are not in the budget right now. I will be doing the ski shim mod on it this week to see if that helps. Is there anything else that I can do to help eliminate the bad darting problem. Maybe skid set up, different carbides. Could this be a bad set up mono skid that could be contributing to this.
Would the dartless product help. I have looked for it online and couldn't find it. Is it still sold. How about dual runner carbides.

Anyone try these.

Dual carbides would be a cheap & effective fix. As far as the bucking, have you ever had the shocks rebuilt? They should be in my opinion be rebuilt every 3 to 4000 miles. If it is bucking like that, sounds like there is probably a seal gone.

Woody's duel carbides will take care of the darting 100%. The bucking issue is hard to eliminate if your wife is a light rider. Turn the tunnel dial 10 clicks back from hard and add some transfer, If the transfer is eliminated the ride will be stiff from the start.

Personally, I would dial that all the way back to complete soft then advance it from there if needed.
The tunnel dial will go around twice, and surprisingly, not everyone knows that.

First thing to do is get out a tape measure and make sure the toe-out is correct and then measure from same place on rear of sled to make sure the front end is not tweaked.

Used pilot skis are reasonably priced and really help with steering and darting. Where is you limiter strap set at? What does your wife weigh with gear on? The suspension may seem fine for you but a lighter rider would get thrown around.

I have run the snow studs brand and they work great but you will loose some top end if that matters. just about any dual carbide will work to keep the front end tracking straight. as for the rear set every thing to soft and try and adjust from there.

I had my 06 Attak shimmed since new, eliminated 60-70% of the darting. Added 6" Stud Boy Duel Carbide runners ($50/ea) before last season and now have eliminated 98% of the darting.

Once my geometry was good, USI VX301s, shims, and shaper bars, I have near zero darting.

Thanks guys, I will try new carbides. I should have explained the bucking issue better. The sled is getting tossed around side to side and I beleive it is caused by the extreme darting because I can feel it when I am riding it. I had the shock in the skid rebuilt and revalved for her weight and riding style at the end of last year. It rides nice for her and is comfortable. I thought that if I could play with different adjustments in the skid to adjust ski pressure that might help. I am not very familiar with the adjustment on the mono skid.

Doolies would be the cheap fix for the darting. Snowtrackers cost more but will eliminate the darting and also make the sled steer easier.

Dual wear bar's will stop the tracking and be the cheapest fix but they push in any kind of loose condition's. Shimming ski's will help but it will steer harder, an issue for some! Semi aggressive SnowTracker's will solve all tracking, steer as easy as stock bar's and bite in the corner's at least as good or better than any standard wear bar.
There is nothing like them!
They will run you about $200 though.

x3 on snowtrackers for easy steering and no darting on your stock 06 skis.

Where do you have your front shocks set at? I asked a out the limiter strap because if its tightened to much there will be excessive sled weight on the skis.
