	When riding this sled on hardpack it always seems to slide side to side and gets a little loose and scary. Any suspension adjustments I could make to put more pressure on the rear to prevent the sliding around..? Thanks Dan in Derry NH 91 Indy 500 Favorite Quotes: I read it on Snowmobile Fanatics ...

	There is a sticker on the underside of the hood that shows some basic adjustments you can do to the suspension(just in case you didn't know it was there). Check which position the rear scissor stops are in, they are the square blocks near the rear axle that the rear arm touches under compression. By turning that block so that the shortest side faces towards the rear arm you allow the suspension to compress more. You can also adjust the torsion springs, there is a rectangular block under them. Adjust it so that they are compressed the least amount(longest side forward), that will keep the torsion springs loose. You can also set the compression adjustments on the rear shocks to a lower number and/or tighten the front track spring(do the other stuff first though). You can also loosen the front springs(on the front suspension). 2009 Ski-Doo Summit XP 800 154" X package - Quick Clickers, Between the Lines Designs Ice Scratchers, Tunnel & Rail Stiffeners Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
