Adjusting ski pressure on a apex ?

[jimmy900]

Whats the best way to lighten up the ski pressure on a apex without making it want to flip over while climbing? The way it is right now no swaybar and 85 psi in the front shocks and you cant hardly turn the bars on smooth concrete.And it has a ez-ryde skid 162

If you don't have ski pressure, then the front end is light. And then its unmanagable in the steep. You have to find a compromise that you can live with. An M-10 will keep the front end down in a steep powder climb, but that won't make it easy to turn on the hard pack. Maybe an M-10 with the jack?

Would it help to drop the limiter strap down a hole?

The more you jack up the straps the more pressure you put on the ski's. I run mine 1 hole from full loose. And transfer bars in middle setting.

Are you sure it is the ski pressure or is the plastic bushing on the steering shaft sticking? I had this problem and the easiest way to check is to disconnect the tie rods and see how much resistance there is in the steering. I lubed all the bushings and threaded a grease zerk in the one behind the brake. Made a big difference in steering effort.

I run the simmons gen2 and they turn a lot easier than the stock ski, even at 10" wide....lol
