Phazer stability problems & NEW Schmidt Bros sway bar fi

[3wheelerdude]

Burned around in the field for 1/2 hour yesterday with no sway bar and tightened up front shocks. I am very pleased with it. First thing I noticed was way easier to turn around low speed in 6" of powder, it used to want to tip to the outside ski, now I can just lean in a bit and it turns. Rode on the edge of the road and it did not want to dive into the ditch with a bit of leaning. WAY better than before.

Still need to test some other situations but so far for me this is the way to go and should have done it the day I bought it. Highly recommended for backcountry riders. Easy enough to try it out, 10 minutes to take it out or put it back in.

I liked it so much that I might search for some stiffer springs for the front shocks, anyone know if there is a twisted spring kit or something you can add to the front springs?

I know that trail would be different story, but never ridden a trail since 1998...

My setup is a base 121 Pahzer converted to a 144 with full skid.
- Base shocks all around setup for a 150lbs rider. Rear blocks are set on M.
- Stock base A-arms, that are longer than the MTX.
- Completely removed sway bar and set skis further inside using the shims.

Its the best riding sled for what I do. Ditches, woodlots, fields, rough river and creeks and about 10% trails to get to my hunting spots.
I can also land jumps unevenly without getting bounced around, and deep ditches dont pull me in.

Cant see myself going back to sway bar anytime soon! Although the original post here sounds interesting. I might be on a trail for a trip next winter, would be nice to try an improved sway bar out for something like that.

Just removed the sway bar today big improvement sidehilling ,off camber road exits etc. Took a little while to get use to on the trails but I can't see me putting it back on, just have to tighten up the front springs. Its nice to have a little control over the sled I hated the way it would force you off, I know everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Phazer stabiliyy

Interesting post I have same problem in same conditions I seem to do alright but would like to settle it down .I may try this . I also have the adjustable shocks that I still playing with . I live in S.S.M and ride lots in the power lines we should hook up some to compare set ups .

I ride deep powder mountains. Ditching sway bar was a huge improvement! Next is to narrow up front and add new skis
