How are you guys dealing with inside ski lift in corners? Curve skis w/ 6in round bar, I know toe is 1/2out I swapped out my front end for a 2010 front end and now my inside ski lift is bad in the corners. was never this bad with my 08 front end. I have to go thru my settings again tomorrow night cuz I lost my log book....
but cant remember how to tune that out. I did get dual pressure chambers added to my floats and softer valving put in too for this year on all 4 shocks, might that be adding to it. Some help would be appreciated guys

ski lift
I would say that revalving your shocks softer is what is causing your ski lift, floats are known for weak initial spring rate which inturn makes the sled tip to the opposite side of the turn.

I have to check my log book but I think I am set at 52 psi on my floats. Any more I found it to be real tippy.

I just added the Hygear Dual Pressure Air Control System to my Fox Float X front shocks on my '09 SE. At the same time, I had these same front shocks revalved. According to the Hygear website, they offer (4) packages or ranges of performance handling.
1. Trail Pro
2. Sport X
3. Sport
4. Improver
I went with the Sport X with 65 PSI to the ride height and 150 PSI to the bottoming set. I was able to get in nearly 65 miles of riding on this set up, and I am very happy with the settings and performance of these shocks.
Do you know what Revalve package that you ordered? Is your PSI set according to Hygear's recommendations?

You can change the stabilizer position to help keep the skis down. Made a difference on my 09 nytro shorty and 2011xtx.

A good shock package will help out. But what ever happened to good old fashioned hanging your a55 farther off the seat

Just saying if you get shock an spring package taken care of then it will help. But I didn't think ski lift was such a big deal till the last few years everyone getting upset over it

But this is the best cure. The more you put into it the harder you can corner with both skis firmly planted. Besides, to just sit there and turn the bars would get boring. That's why we own nytro's not apex's.raginyamaha said:thank for the technical assistance.....fxnytrortxkid said:A good shock package will help out.
