The first run with powder snow no problem, next day snow is packed and the Warrior steers like a truck without power steering. The other issue is how this sled will track through corners with the correct set up for a 130 pound rider. Mind you it still has the stock carbides and 144 Woody's 1,325 on inner & outer belts. I wonder how more severe this will be when we intall the 6 inch carbides. My daughter will need to attend a weight lifting program to steer this sled. Any feed back to alleviate this would be appreciated. Bigtime ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Perhaps there's too much weight on the skis? Just throwing that out there as the adjustments with the limiter straps and transfer rods last year did the same to me, it was a tough tuning game to get proper weight on the track and proper weight on the skis. It was a game of getting it with no ski lift and yet keeping the weight on the track while making the steering better.

Get the weight off the ski's and then put those different carbides on or you won't be able to turn with those stockers and studs..

put your front straps so it is 1" of the bolt sticking out pass the nut on the limeter straps.
and you should be good with that and also put your rear bars in the 2nd notch .. and you will be able to turn
no prob

With that light of a rider, you'll need to be very picky about the rear skid set up to get enough sag to keep the ski runner pressure even on the skis, and keep away from a darting situation. Skis with too much pressure on the front tend to steer hard and dart too...
With your daughter on the sled, try to stay close to a 50/50 control rod gap. Also, with her on it, (in a garage with a flat floor) put your cheek on the floor and see how the skis are sitting. You want them at least flat or parallel with the floor, but 40/60 to the rear is best. This should help the sled be predictable and easy to steer and ride...good luck!

mine is just the opposite, I would say play with the limiter straps first. I'm waiting for some more seat time until I make any changes.
