I was curious what you guys are setting the toe out at on your nytros with pilot skis? The reason I am asking is because I have my stock Yami skis at about .5" toe out. When I had a rev with pilot skis they were recommended to be zero toe. Which is better for my nytro if I put pilots on? Thanks for the help fellas!
 
I set mine at 3/4 I read somewhere that others did that as well with the pilots, I started at .5 then the next ride i tried it at 3/4 noticeable diff. I found the sled handled a lot nicer, but it could of been the conditions too. I'm running 5.7 pilots with two 7.5 inch shapers bars on each. handles awesome just point and go with no darting, hope that helps.
 
Just make sure you pull the front of the skis together (bungie cord works) when setting toe. I like <.5" on mine.

Nope. Its the front of the ski that matters. You are protecting the skis from ever being toed in. You want to make sure your skis always stay toe out in turns, even if they are sloppy.

The back of the skis only matter when determining your ski spacing measurements and setting basic toe out. Bungie or tight measure should be performed at the tip of the skis.

Thanks guess I am just in process of installing a new reinforced subframe so will check using bungie on front

Also, the bungie shouldn't be too tight, just enough to remove the play in the steering.

I had a buddy of mine used one of those rubber tie downs used on to hold loads on trucks. He did all the adjustments with a ton of tension between the skis. When the job was done we had quite a laugh when he removed the strap. The toe out...it was like 2 inches!

Good luck
