Dear Motorhead:
I have a 2004 Ski-Doo MXZ 500SS with a darting problem. I have precision skis, new carbides, woody’s from the dealer and the darting is now worse!
What skis/carbides should I use without spending a million dollars?
Please HELP!
Jesse
Thanks for your email!
Okay, if you’re still experiencing darting with the skis and carbides you’ve described you have an alignment issue.
Precision skis are exceptionally good at eliminating darting and thus I suspect your problem is likely toe-in.
Toe-in is a hideous problem that makes a sled unruly and very nervous while toe-out is the exact extreme opposite – it will create “numb” and pushy initial turn-in and lots of understeer right through he apex.
It isn’t hard to fix this problem and I’m sure you’ve read a thousand articles on how to line up your skis so just get out yer tape measure and wrenches and do it.
Hope this helps!
