just got 115 miles on and I'm aware it's early riding but damn this thing feels heavy. And yes I've had 4 strokes
2010 z1 turbo
2012 f1100 turbo
14 Viper
16 Viper mpi
But damn the other ones hid weight well. This thing is is a tank. Is there a limited strap change or something I can do? Very very heavy feeling on skis.
Anyone else agree?

I agree 100%. But, I've done a bunch of stuff to help it feel better/lighter. Took a bunch of preload out of the front springs, loosened the straps 1 hole, turned up the center shock 3 full turns, and put in a different transfer block. It's close now, but I've gotta get more miles on, and loosen things up to see where I'm really at.

The center spring effects it the most. Tighten it a turn at a time till the steering lightens up. The vipers are the same way. It doesn't take much.

also...you have a dual runner skis which with too much ski pressure OR heavy wet snow will make the front end feel heavy
suspension setup can go a long way...and setting it up for your weight and riding style

Pull transfer blocks out and re install rod.
I took rod and blocks out, tighten front strap a hole, loosen front shock....love it.

You mean you took rod from the rear blocks out then reinstalled it right? How much did you loosen the front shocks and what's the easiest way to do this? What's everyone have there rebound on for the clickers ?

Yes, they are heavy. Loosen your limiter straps 1 hole and try again.

First took blocks out and put back rod. Not enough transfer. Took rod out too, which created too much transfer, so tightened front straps to hole 3 from top. (Were on #2 from top from factory.) Next, transfer where I like but stiff ride and skis push in trail, so loosened front shock on skid enough that I can turn spring by hand. Not to be confused with front shocks on skis.
Just my opinions here, as I weigh 170 lbs. Someone weighing 300 this wouldn't be ideal.
Tried loosening front ski shocks but affected handling. Sled would lean in corners...not as flat.
