Lot's of great ideas above. I put the short bushing on outside of spindle, moved sway bar position to front, front limiter strap down 1 hole from top, center shock spring preload almost full loose and floats set at 50 psi. Barely any ski lift with this set up unless I'm hitting tight turns fast and not using much body english. This sled is really easy to move around on and the more you "get into" the turn the better it will turn.
I have adj. transfer blocks and they are on max. transfer. Very little ski lift if any when I give throttle in the middle of the turn. More push than lift. I'm going to set blocks to min. transfer first ride this season to see what kind of diff. that adj. makes.
Pioneer revalved rear shocks and 6.9 pilots this season so I'd think the handling will only be better. Will report.
You'll find your sweet spot.

I'm gonna try riding mine like I did my firecat...balls to the tank and when turning left..plant my right foot hard and lift up on the left side of the handle bars...gotta love these learning curves lol
Do this. I couldn't ride my Nytro fast through corners until my nuts touched the gas tank. It's not like the old sleds where you just sat there.

I couldn't have said that better. Lol

you do need to ride these babies different. It is a work out if you are riding the ditches

I can pull away from my brother's attak on the trail as long as there are no long straights, but at that pace it drains me so I have to drop back and then hes caught right back up with me. By the end of the day(150-200 miles) I'm tired enough that I can't pull away from him.
