Precision ski's? rx-1

[fast1200gp]

Anyone out there try a set of ski-doo Precision ski's on the shorty rx-1,,i have a 04 and thinking of going to aftermarket ski's either simmons flex or the Precision ski,,,any thoughts or comments?

I posted a question asking how they like their precision ski's on a Doo site and 90% of the feedback was negative because of pushing in the corners.

Mighty RX 1,

Mine is a mountain and i think that they are the best there is no
comparision to the originals. :!:

I tried the precision skiis last year and I did not like them.Perhaps if I fiddled with the pivot location I might have been able to fix it.I just didn't like the steering effort.

My 03 shorty has them. Got rid of the darting and helped reduce the ski lift.

I have them on my 03 RX1 shorty and my 04 Warrior and love them, they fix all the handling problems.
Steering effort is light and Precise, corners like it is on rails.
Does not dart at all.
Ski lift is reduced to almost nothing.
Ski Doo offers a direct bolt on kit for all brands.

Push through the corner on the gas is caused by too long a limiter strap adjustment and too much center shock preload.

Precision ski's ? RX-1

Ran a set on my 2003 shorty with excellent results. Limiters shortened, fixed rate springs and long links. The sled was on rails.
Have yet to install on my warrior but would expect the same results. I would expect a more push than a shorty but it will not be anything drastic and should be tuneable.

The Simmons are probable a better choice for cost reasons. Last year there was not much available other than Ski-doo and the cost was not cheap. Had a Doo buddy that hated them so I did not have to pay retail.

The doo skis are not nearly as good as the simmons. The simmons are WIDER and DEEPER, and they don't hold snow and ice on top like the doo.

Ran them all last season, loved them :!:

Just got back from a 600 mile trip on the RX-1 with the Simmons Flexi-Ski installed for the first time. Wow, what a difference! Yes, they do push a little in the corners, but not that much that it feels unsafe. I believe they helped with inside ski lift (see my new thread for more info).

I have nothing but good to say on teh Precisions. Handling and tracking is exactly why I got them. Haven't tried them out in the deep stuff yet, but they should definately have the advantage over teh stockers.

newly converted and loving the presicion skis!!!!

I installed the Precision skis this year and love them. The only push I have is when I want to do a circle from a stop. On the trails, they are awesome. I will say one thing, this sled needs a great deal of tuning to get it right, but once its right, what out. This thing rocks and rides like it is on rails.

List price on the Simmons Flexi ski is $389 for black bottoms and $396 for colored bottoms. The kit includes all you need to install the skis. Carbides are sold seperately. My RX-1 shorty has 96 studs down the center, and I have 4" carbides on the outside and 6" carbides on the inside to help with steering.
