precision skis

[uofm]

i have a set of ski doo skis with the brackets and everything. they are off from a new ski doo. i would like to put them on my rage. i checked into the ski doo kit for yamaha's but they want $140 for it. what was everybody that used these on rx1's doing to make them fit? do they just fit on or do they need new bushings or shims. thanks

I was able to make them work by reversing bushings and using washers. I can't remember all the details, it was a couple of years ago. I loved them.

I originally tried to get the thinner bushings from the universal kit but was not able to get even a part #after going to 4 doo dealers. I ended up having them machined down. Have them machined to .05 in. You can also modifiy your Yamaha ski handles to fit as well.

Why would u want to put those crap ski doo skis on, dont you wonder why ski doo has new pilot skis out, id stick a pair on simons skis or c a pro skis on that rage.

Skidoo has new skis out because they've been issues a COURT ORDER to cease production on "precision" due to a patent held by Simmons.

precision skis are too narrow and too rigid. They also trap snow and ice on their tops. They are definitely an improvement over stock skis though.

i agree on the skidoo skis being crap, only worked good on groomed trail riding.

Last year I went over to Doo talk and asked the guys their opinion on the precision ski's and was very surprised when over 80% of the people responding stated they didn't like them because of the push in corners. I went with Simmons and was really impressed. They didn't push (had 6 inch carbides) and the flotation was great
