suspension advice

[rayone02]

First trip put about 500 miles on sled 2012 nytro xtx slight push in corners and darting in soft snow.

List of mods and settings.
skinz front
raptor shocks triple rate springs lowered about three turns on springs
curve skis 6" carbide with leading edge toe out 1/2 inch per ski

Rear suspension
I had heavy rear springs replaced with stock springs set at medium
front shock 1 1/2 threads showing
limiter strap stock


During the trip had lowered the front set all shocks to the softest settings worked but rear of sled was just to hard reason for changing rear springs. Been searching on curve skis may need more toe out and pull up limiter strap one hole need more bite. Opinions wanted.

By pulling the limiter strap up one ore even two holes will defiantly give you more bite,and less pressure on centre skid shock ( not sure what you mean by 1-1/2 threads showing ) also try a little more spring pressure on the ski shocks.

Threads showing refers to front suspension shock how much spring preload.

darting

sled shouldn't dart and push call curves and get some advice from them and then post back. I have a similar sled setup but with 6.9 pilots and Elka stage 5 my sled never darts and only pushes in loose snow. Usually a little push can be overcome with throttle but darting is skis or too much ski pressure or alignment issues.

I have already sent txt to Sean waiting response. Well I have rechecked skinz front everything checks out. I figured the push is coming from moving front suspension 4 inches forward plus longer track.

try talking almost all spring pressure off your springs and letting the front end settle into the sway bar a bit. works well with my xtx which I mainly trail ride, then adjust compression on front shocks to eliminate inside ski lift. I have same front end but different shocks.

What hole you using for sway bar? I am using middle hole.

 

[stubb111]

yes I am currently using middle hole (I bought my front end used.... and it didn't come with manual, and that's where it was bolted before). I have four rides (approx. 1000kms) on it now and getting it pretty close.

 

[rayone02]

Well not really a manual that comes with kit just instructions for installation not much about sway bar could be better.

 

[stubb111]

no....problem, I am going to do some searching and some more testing and let you know what I find out.
