I have a 99 Ski Doo MXZ 670 and whenever I turn to the right or to the left the outside ski kicks up. Its pretty bad. I have to slow way down when riding to take even the smallest corner. The guys I ride with all have Artic Cat and Polaris and don't have this problem at all. I tried adjusting the the front suspension but it didn't help. Any thoughs would be great!

Im barley leaning at all. I can lean against the turn and it will still come up. The ski base on it is 38 inches. Would that make it more tippy?

Ive never heard of the outside ski coming up. Kinda defies the laws of physics.

Me three! Out side ski lift does not make sense to me.

I have a '97 MXZ583 same chassis. I have inside ski lift with it. Doesn't really bother me. I use it to my advantage and stick the outside ski harder. I actually like it. I have an '05 Renegade as well and it's effortless. I guess I like that the 583 makes me work I guess, but it's hard to beat that REV chassis!

I hate to say it but i think your probibly better off just throwing in the towel and getting on a polaris. I had the same problem but not as severe as yours is and I bought some C&A skis and they made a big difference.
