Polaris Dragon ski Pressure Help

[_jegan]

Hi guys I'm new here so go easy on me. And sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I couldn't find anything.

Here is my dilemma: I just bought a 2007 700 dragon rmk 155 3 months ago and have rode it about 12 times. It is an awesome sled and I'm loving it but it feels like it has a ton of ski pressure. It is hard to steer on trails and seems like it wants to follow other peoples ski tracks on trails. It is just plain hard to steer and feels like it has too much pressure on my skis. Can you guys help me out here? All help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Check limiter strap position and look for a pair of 2009/2010 spindles...they have improved geometry

Put a turbo on it, that will get ur skis up. Lots of good deals on used kits.

Check your front limiter strap position (located at the front end of your rear suspension). If the strap is pulled up to the highest setting you will have max front ski pressure, if the strap is in the lowest hole you will have the least front ski pressure. The previous owner may have sucked it all the way up to change the front track approach and increase the ski pressure.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll try adjusting the limiter strap and if I'm not happy still, then I'll move to different spindles. What are the benefits and negative sides of having a loose limiter strap and a tight limiter strap besides ski pressure? and if i do go with different spindles, would you recommend the 09 dragon ones or aftermarket?
Thanks again!

09/10 dragon spindles are pretty good and probably going to be the cheapest. If you can find em, get a set from a PRO and save some coin. Pretty much a knock off of Holz spindles.

If you suck up the straps tight, you will create a better approach angle on the track. Meaning a gradual ramp up to drivers from the ground. Versus more of a wall like transition. This helps IQ's with trenching so bad but you typically get heavy front end.

Move your front track shock to the lower position too, and run your limiter in the middle holes, makes a big difference.
