Never seen this problem before

[chadincolo]

Ok, little background info, my sled is a 99 MM700, Bender pipes, Fabcraft tunnel with drop and roll, Polaris Xtra lite skid, 151x15x2 Comoplast track (I need to look up the numbers and see what it is). Sled has SLP Powder Pros, Viper front shocks, and skid plate.

Now the problem. Once in a while, when I pull up to a stop in powder (nothing too deep, 1-2 feet, not pushing over the bumper) and sit for a bit (had it do it sitting 30 seconds, and 10 minutes), then go to leave, it buries itself...I'm not pinning the throttle, trying to ease it up, it will move an inch or so, then spin. All it takes is someone to tug a ski and all is fine, will pull on out...never seen a sled do this, so looking for any ideas. It's not consistant, sometimes inch it forward and as soon as it's moving, no problem. Not bogging, then hitting the powerband and spinning... I'm stumped, anybody have the problem before? Any ideas?

How high do you have the back end jacked up? Alot of people lift the back end too high when setting up their suspension and it puts too much push onto the skis and not enough weight transfer.Measure the seat height of a stock one with suspension set in the top hole,then set yours the same.

I have seen this happen in certain conditions the ski.s freeze to the snow, not allowing then to slide,

Rear bumper is probably about the same level, it's aftermarket with a custom drop and roll, so can't really do a comparison to a stocker... I don't think it's the skis freezing down, does it at different temperatures, so wouldn't imagine skis would freeze down at 20 degrees and -10... But to check, maybe I'll spray the skis with Pam or something and slick them up, see if that helps.

Haven't had that trouble but if you have to, make a circle then park in your track. I'm sure you have looked and made sure no plastic is broke on the belly pan and causing alot of drag. Do you have a skid plate? If so does it cause the front to come up at a steeper angle? One more thought is check how tight your limiter straps are.

too much ski weight-try letting limiter out a little/more spring pressure on front shock of rear suspension? Good luck.
