how do you shim the skis ?

thanks for the links doing lot of reading right now...

With sled sitting on the floor take all the slack out of the limiter straps on the skid till they are tight then about a half an inch more on the bolt. If you still have no ski pressure tighten some more.

If after you do this you find it to be to tippy its because the RX's like to have the front low a arms level with the snow. Stiffer sway bar helps for some. If you lift the front of your sled up so the skis are off the floor you then back off the adjusting nuts on the front ski springs till the springs are loose. Tighten one to two turns to take the slack out of the springs. You will now have to repeat the first step.

05 had a 11mm sway bar but 04 and 03 I think where 10mm. If you have lots of body roll add a stiffer bar.

On the transfer rod there are two nylon washers. A 5 mm on top and a 10mm on bottom I had the best ride and handling when I replaced the bottom 10mm with a 5mm.

This site will answer a lot of questions on how to set up the skid for ride, transfer and FRA settings.

Matty,
At the top of every page on here is a link:
TYHOME. Once there you see down the left side of the page is a link: Technical Pages, Click on the Snowmobile Tech. link in the center of the page, follow it down to Front Suspensions and Skis, and then to Ski Bumper Shim Install. The idea is that the Yamahas have to much front ski tip pressure, causing them to dart or follow, this shim is used to raise the front of the ski, elminating some of the darting. You can use just about any material that will hold up, I use 1" x 1/4" aluminum bar stock. Bergstroms sells them, but you really don't need to purchase anything, very easy to make.

carbides

I had 6 inch single carbides on my warrior that had no studs. steering was heavy, but always turned well if you left off the throttle entering the corner to take advantage of the engine braking. Had doolys on my rage, steering heavy plus it pushed a lot if the snow was not firm.. real bad when it was mushy out.
