First off, overall this sled rocks.... love the power, ergos are spot on.... sounds wonderful thru the mbrp silencer.... very fast, whooped on my buddys clutched crossfire 7 in a short little impromptu draggin.... put about a hundred miles on her today.....
but.... need some help on suspension setup.... it is transferring entirely too much weight off the skis.... makes it hard to turn a little, and makes my wife a little uneasy (it is her sled....) so suspension guys,
give me some hints...... any help will be appreciated.....

ulmer sells adjustable transfer blocks to bolt on to calm it down a bit.

I believe you have the adjustable control rods at the rear of the suspension. Turning/adjusting these in the proper direction should decrease the weight transfer. Have a look in your owners manual on how to and which direction to turn them.
Lessen the spring pressure on the center shock in the skid.
Increase the spring pressure on the skis.
These adjustments should help keep the skis planted as well as increase turning ability.

One more thing - I felt that if my wife was driving the sled - a wider handle bar would be necessary - for better control.
I can't believe I like the Apex better.

Twist the front shock on the rear skid upwords try 1/2" first and this will take pressure off the skis, i went up 1" on my 08 rtx, but there diffrent in the front end.
