Wouldn't loosening the front shocks take off ski pressure and cause more push in corner or am I not thinking about this properly?
You loosen the front track shock to increase ski pressure not the ski shocks themselves. Sorry, if I am not making things clear. Typing is not something I like to do.

- way to many 2 strokes
I have a 2015 R TX 129
Had a big problem with way to much transfer and way to much push in corners and darting when letting off.
Loosened front shock pre load pulled limiter straps to the 4 th hole transfer blocks on 3 least amount of transfer thing still has way to much transfer for my liking but also starting to spin way to much I have no studs as of now.
I have arctic cat saddleless skis with 9 " shaper bars
Did the Bergstrom trick by shimming back of ski saddles. No more darting works great.
But I still have way to much ski lift when on the gas not sure which way to go now.
Front shocks have 1" of threads showing from the bottom of the shock to the adjuster nuts.
I'm coming from a 2010 arctic cat snopro with a 720 D & D big bore and I had it handling perfect.

Tightening the straps and front springs didn't seem to help. Straps now on the 2nd hole which is where it was from dealer set up. I have about 3 inches of threads showing on the front springs. Are the front springs doing anything for ski pressure or just ride height? I'm going to put them back at around 2.5 inches of threads where it was. Going to adjust the rear spring to the 2nd cam adjustment and see what happens. I'm definitely going to the bergstroms shims maybe even their carbide but at 175 they are a little steep. Anyone know about how long they last?
