Trying to improve cornering, eliminate ski push. I was told to tighten the front limiter strap, would that help it?
 
that will increase the ski pressure, giving less, push, the stock skis are prone to push, some find new carbides help, others change skis.
 
Unfortunately... the shorty models only have limiter straps front and back to finagle the transfer or ski pressure. They don't have adjustable coupler blocks like most sleds.
You can buy some simple aftermarket blocks that can be turned up or down.
Some guys say they mess up your ride. But they are nice to have.
Turn then up to keep skis down, turn them down to do wheelies.
Ulmer sells them.
 
I pulled up my limiter two holes on my 08' Rtx and run 6" shaper wear bars and mine corners great. Well worth experimenting with before throwing in the towel and buying skis.
 
Split Rails

Had the same issues with my 2010 Nytro [121]. Tried doolies, was not happy, in fact i found they made things worse - put a pair of Split Rails and havent looked back. They changed the sled entirely. Amazing the handling difference. No more push in the corners. In fact the worse the conditions are, ie rutted trails, deep tore up snow, the better they handle.
Pm me if you have any questions. Good luck

Seven,

Where did you get your split rails? How much $$$? Easy to do?

Thx!
 
I'd start with adding a steering post relocate kit. It improves handling by making the steering more comfortable and easier to control. I tried several ski/carbide combinations and suspension setups. I was never completely satisfied until I added a steering post relocate kit.

If you do a lot of trail riding start with a set of Stud Boy deuce bars on the stock skis. They eliminate darting and make cornering more predictable with only a slight push. You later may want to try new skis, I prefer the Curves on the Nytro.
