Good morning fellow sledders,first and for most I wish to introduce myself as the proud owner of a 04 rx1warrior.
Yesterday was my first venture out.found the sled very responsive.very smooth.
My question,I found the steering loose.sliding through the hard packed corners.on left turns my ski kept lifting.no problems on the right turn.
How can I stabilize the weight on the skis?put more weight up front
Happy new years

13mm stabilizer bars for a start.

My Warrior does the same and I have a 13mm sway bar. I think it's the camber of the trail, turning right if ride close to the right, the trail usually slopes that way a little, then when turning left you are fighting the slope to the right even if it's a little and the softer snow your right ski is in close to the edge, so your left ski pops up a little. The 13 mm sway bar definitely helps to reduce this ski lift.

Welcome to the site Scooter, where are you from? The site requires you to fill in a location in your profile.
If you end up going to the 13mm sway bar you might need to upgrade the links that it mounts to as well. I have a new set that I never used and you can send a PM if you are interested.

Try pulling your limit straps in till your happy with the front end. Also lessen the distance on the transfer rods, make the suspension couple up quicker.

The 13mm bar will do nothing for putting weight on the front. You will have to adjust the limiter strap as Honk said; pull it up and put more weight on the front. You may also find reducing the preload on the front shocks will help some as well. The 13mm stabilizer bar is a recommended upgrade to help minimize ski lift in the corners.

the front shocks need the preload taken off. raise front of sled, loosen the jam nuts on the top of the shocks until the springs turn easily with one hand, but not loose enough to rattle. count the threads and match both sides. Your a-arms should be level or almost level.
