loosen limiter strap is one way

 

yeah i loosedned it up. my friend has a 09 and the ski pressure is way less and i moved my limitor strap to where his is but still not the same

if your wanting to do a weelie, loosening the limiter strap will help, but also if you only way like 110 pounds ( im not saying you do) those skis will probably never lift cause all your track is doing is spinning.. how much do u weigh and how much does your budy weigh?

remove the rear suspension blocks. that will give you less pressure.

 

Adjust your front shocks. That cap at the bottom of the spring... move it down maybe?

 

put in softer rear springs.

 

The correct way to change ski down pressure is by increasing or decreasing the front skid pre-load.
Then adjust the ski spring/shock pre-load +/- as desired.

Do not change the length of the limiter straps.

 

What he ^^^^^^ said. Just don't go nuts. A turn at a time should make a difference.

 

put more weight on the rearend by lowering it some

 

Sit on the very back. Haha.

 

limiter strap is a good way but is hard to do unless u know what your doing. other than that its mostly adjusting your shocks, and your suspention blocks

 

im not actaully wanting it to do wheelies per say just trying to get the nose to want to pop more. and too the first question im only a 145 pounds. im running 63 psi in the front shocks and 70 in the rear.

 

Well there's the problem. You're just not heavy enough.

dont rate him negative, hes right. you realy dont weigh enough to set the back down and bring the front up. try setting your rear shock to around 66 or 67 psi that should realy help out

 

What ever method you use, keep in mind this will decrease steering!? Do you really want that. I would rather be confident in the corners I hit hard than if I can carry my skis.

I think I may know what you are after?... Do you want to be able to pop the front end when you are on the move and come up on an obsticle like a ditch?... if that's the case, maybe it is more of a clutching, power or rider ability issue for you? You want to let off throttle to load your springs then place you wt. rear and snap it.

 

yeah. trick paint i think you may have the general idea . i have no problem really in the mountains but yeah when i fool around around here on the harder packed snow i have issues

 

I totally can relate i only weigh 140 myself and i more the less stear with my rear end and stay on the throttle but i can never get the skis up unless i preload like trickpaint was saying. Also dont mess with your suspension too much if you are not experienced. very little at a time is all that is needed to see a difference.

 

k so im not trying to steal this post or nothing, but i have taken my limiter strap off my sled and it made apsolutely no difference at all!!! i mean i am 210 and i cant get my sled to wheelie if my life depended on it, i dont know what the suspension blocks are or even what they look like, so if you guys could help me out it would be much appreciated

plastic blocks behind the rear suspension scissor arms....They keep the rear arms from compressing down too far. there are settings for the blocks in the manual. look at them close. they are different thicknesses on each side.

also sno-pro springs are stiffer. I have a set of std rear springs that i took off. I put "big-boy" springs on mine. they are stiffer then the sno-pro springs. I like my rear suspension stiff. I am big and ride deep bumps at times. light ski pressure makes it a real handful in the corners..."pushing out".

 

snowwolf? so they are connected to the bottom of the rear shoch in the skid? the part that slides up and down??

 

on the bottom, behind the lower arm, on the slide rails there are plastics blocks... also you can adjust the springs by turning the spring blocks(where the end of the rear springs are)

there are so many different adjustments one can make to the skid frame set-up . just gotta do small adjustments, ride it and then tweak it some more. dont make too big of adjsutments at one time or you may get so far out into left field.........

all that being said. light ski pressure isnt always a good thing on some sleds. it definitely isnt very good on a older firecat. scarey corners and darting. I will leave it at that...............
