Ski lift in corners

[skyboz]

I haven't tried it on this sled, but on my last sled the torsion springs played a big role when it came to inside ski lift. I would say get it set up, sag, compression, rebound, and then fine tune it. My suspension is the complete opposite as it was last year, hoping I'll find something to make the handling even better. Also, check the sticky on the top of this section for various set ups.

Thanks for the replies.

I have no problem riding the sled in an aggressive position with the weight on the inside ski. However I am still having trouble getting it right. For one, I really do not like the ergos of the bars. They feel really narrow. I guess I am just used to my protapers.

On my Elka's for my quad I can adjust the suspension so I can change the ride height. It looks like I can do the same on the nytro's suspension. What tool do you use for the ring? It does not look like the suspension is preload adjustable. It has rebound and high speed compression settings that I can see. Which is good if this will work as I can change the hieght of the sled with out affecting the dampening.

What is the limiter strap for? Why does it affect the handling?

The limiter straps effect the coupling of the suspension. For example, if you had no limiter straps, you could probably wheelie until you ran out of gas. If you crank down the straps, the skis would never leave the ground. You need to have a balance, and be sure to set your sag correctly. The way to change ride height is by adjusting the torsion springs (S, M, H settings).

As for the ring, there should be a tool in your kit that looks like a half circle on the end of a wrench.

What are the torsion springs? Where do I adjust these? What will the outcome be if I change this settings? Will I bottom out more? Do the limiter straps do anything else besides prevent my skis from lifting?

The more you pull the front strap down the more ski pressure you get because it lifts the front of the skid. The rear strap. if you pull it down you reduce the weight tranfer - less wheelies! The torsion springs are those long springs that run on each side of the rear suspension. They run on an angle from the rear bolt that goes through your tunnell into the skid, down into plastic blocks. I have mine set on soft or the lightest setting, and rarely bottom out. I'm 210# with gear.

If you don't know what torsion springs are, I recommend reading your Owner's Manual on how to set up your sled's suspension.

I can not read manuals.

I am guessing that the springs are the black springs that wrap the suspension in a lever action. I do not see any where you can adjust them. I still do not know what happens performance wise when you adjust them. I do not need the suspension more plush, just need it lowered.

The torsion springs are the black round bar that goes from the wheel on top, heading down to the left to the lower wheel. The adjustment is right behind the top wheel. They are on both sides of the sled.

The torsion springs are the black square bar that goes from the wheel on top, heading down to the left to the lower wheel. The adjustment is right behind the top wheel. They are on both sides of the sled.

Fixed it for you!

Thanks

SkyBoz, what pics you wanna see?

Loud, just look at the manuel, just for the rear skid and it will explain it fairly well.
