Ok Fellas ,
Well I'm not the first one to come up with this setup combination , but I may be the first to confirm it But before I continue I just want to say that there was a point were I really was considering getting a new sled . I come from 18 years of riding poo's and was so tired of the shortcomings of the two strokes . Got really sick of the smoke and that feeling I had when I would go on the lake and hang on to for a couple miles ( pooof ) ya Know what I mean?
Well I bought the Nyto and right away I didn't feel right , like I just could not hammer it in the trails, it had ski lift in the corners , darted horrible but I kinda chalked it up to the rider forward position and that maybe I just wasnt used to it does have a motor from heaven and thats what made me stick it out!!
This is what i did first the front end , I put the 09 front end on although this step may be the one you can o mitt but only if you put the shims on the back of the ski rubbers and do the top ball joint mod ( mill 2.5mm ) The 08 nytro does have caster and camber issues these mods do fix the twitchy darty problem
Second thing is the ski's , The nytro has a tone of its weight over the skis ,the part that I love the most( the motor) is also its biggest enemy ( the weight ) so you need to find a happy medium between some bite in the corners but not to aggressive as to cause ski lift.
I tried the stock skis but they stink in every area , then I tried C&A razors and they were far to aggressive it felt that the but end wanted to get out in front in the corners . So I went witht he ski-doo pilots 5.7 PERFECT ! had just the right amount of both bite and give....( though they will push some in the loose stuff )
Ski-doo does invest alot of R&D into there sleds and since the introduction of the REV, they needed to develop a ski that could deal with the rider forward tendencies .
Next pulled up the front limiter strap 2 holes , the sled is already a bit tippy so dooing this keeps the front of the skid from helping to push it over.
also the front skid shock unwound to about a quarter inch of threads showing
Last was Ditch the floats !!! for cornering , The floats that I had were far too progressive ( got way too hard too fast) the front suspension cannot be firm in order to achieve fast cornering (50 lbs) the sled sat too low ( ground clearance ) so I put on the GTYR clickers and set them up on the softer side ,also another danger to running low pressure on your floats is if you bottom too hard and damage the shock seel you wont even be able to limp home cuz the floats don't have the aid of a coil over spring , which is why the clickers are a better shock IMO. because the maintain the ground clearance necessary with its spring
Hope this helps it sure did for me !!! Love this thing now !!! Handwarmers suck !!!

Thanks for the information. I sent out a post yesterday and got a few responses regarding my steering concern. I used the chart on the forum and some responses from my post as a guideline. Also, the owner of the dealership happen to stop by my house today and made some recommendations including changing the skis. What PSI do you have in the front shocks?

His post said he switched to the GTYR clickers. no air pressure in that shock.
