The sway bar is out of mine and got to ride it last weekend as it was my first time on a sled without one, and it is great!

Got a little squirrly in the corners when I came in and tried coming out hot though.

But otherwise I probably will never go back to a sway bar.

I pull mine out everytime I get in the hills. I just hook it back up when it's time to head back down the trail. It's allot funner without it in the trees, and the powder.

do you run your shocks stiffer on the spring preload after disconnecting?

A little firmer. Rides alot better in the bumps too.

Mine is cut out already but for my info--how do you do that? and it seems like a lot of work.

Thanks

No wonder you thought the 15 wide track side hilled better.

The quick disconnect only takes about 30 seconds to hook up. I like my shocks a little softer for the powder, so I don't usually mess with them.

swaybar free

Been over 20 rides without one and enjoy sled for our riding much better. I did have to turn front shocks to 5.

LMAO It did sidehill better with the 15-trust me!!

Hey MACH, I did leave a lot of skid marks on the trail out to Lake Marie-both on the trail and in my shorts If you remove the bar, go easy for the first few miles to avoid the aforementioned "condition". Nothing like chapping your backside due to a little "release" in the skivies

I ditched the sway bar last year and like the handling much better.

Last Saturday was my first ride without the swaybar. It was good. I cranked up the front shocks to help out on the trail. Seems more stable than with them softer. This is my first year on the xp and it seemed to me the first few rides with the swaybar in I really had a rough time holding the sled in a carve (in the powder). Once the swaybar was out, I seemed to have much more control of my carving. Anyone else notice this? Anyways, I will not be gong back to the swaybar until I am ready to sell the sled.

Yup, now it takes very little effort to change directions. I tried it once with the stock X package shocks and it scared me So I waited until I had the Float 2's, and man, it's nice

What did you try with the stock x package shocks? Removing the swaybar? What difference did the floats do for you?

 

[trinitypowder]

I did try it with the stock x shocks. The Float 2's are defintely better. They still give you the intial "tippy feel" but only for an inch or two of travel. The stockers would go much further into their travel, which in turn would cause me, the rider, to load my shorts while entering a 50mph corner
