Weight transfer and making the nytro lean!

[dremmick]

I know I only have a 136" but I want the peoples opinion who ride in powder. I have a couple of questions:
Do you want alot of weight transfer in the powder in order to keep weight of the skis?
Are there any suspension settings I can do in order to get my sled to lean over easier? Its a bearcat now to lean over.
Also where do you guys have your limiter straps set at?


thanks!

I like to have a little more weight transfer. What skid do you have? The shorter the limiter strap the better the approach angle but more weight is transferred to the front. The longer the limiter strap the steeper the approach angle but more weight transferred to the rear. I would think 2 or 3 on the strap would work. You can also soften the rear shock. As far as carving the width is fighting you the most. Move the skis to inside by moving the spacer to the inside of the spindle. you can also soften the front shocks to allow lean.

I have the stock 121"skid. I recently extended my track to a 136, I used a star suspensins skid relocate kit to move the skid back 3.5" which greatly reduced the track approach angle. My front limiter strap is sucked up to holes and the rear is sucked up one. I have very little weight transfer right now, my skis wont even come of the ground.

Im going to try moving the ski spacer to the inside to make my stance narrower, also I need to check what psi I have In the floats but I believe its 60psi.

What about changing the preload on the front shock? right now i have very little preload on like 4-6 threads showing.

just me but relocating your skid back is NOT good for weight transfer, you just put more weight on your skis.
I would adjust the frt strap way loose, more preload in frt shock and less in rear and try it
