I ended up pulling the rear limiter straps down one hole, but I'm not sure if it lightened my steering. I also installed a set of Kimpex Arrows on my sled at the same time and my steering is so much lighter. While these skis don't have the same bite as my C&As, it certainly was controllable while I slid around the corners...my sled is getting to be more fun all the time.

Rear Strap affects
When you pull the rear strap in even just one notch you'll slow the coupling action down with added resistance of the strap. I did this on my 09 RTX and is the best adjustment I made. Coming out of corners getting on the gas the front end would wheelie and push even with just a little throttle. One hole in and I can almost mash the throttle and the skiis will still stick to their line. If I stand on the back of the running boards in and mash the throttle it'll couple right away and pull the skis up for straight line traction, wheelie and fun. Keep in mind the trails in Western New York are tight and I ride very aggresive. The stock all the way out position was almost dangerous the way it pushed. I was always grabbing the brake to get it to turn and coasting all the way through the corners which isn't fast by any means.

Re: Rear Strap affects
Good information, I think I'll give this a try. I think with this and the adjustable coupler blocks she'll really corner!

While I was speaking to Nick the owner of Curve XS skies, He told me
to raise the rear strap one hole and reduce the pressure in the fox floats down to 50 PSI, which lowers the front end about 1 inch and give the sled a different stance or approach.
I havent tried it yet but thats data coming from somone who has done alot of experimentation.
Seems to be we are all on the same page here.
Another interesting point he made was to go with a 4 inch carbide, I thought this was really small but they assured me it had worked the best with the nytro.
He mentioned the bigger carbides actually produced some darting when decellerating.
Ill know first hand if theres still snow in VT this next weekend
