How do you have your RTSS set? When I picked mine up the shop and set the spring for me. They guessed 180 I weigh 165. When I rode it, it felt pretty good. Then, I rode my GF Pro and they had set the RTSS preload softer for her lighter weight. When I softened mine up it made the sled so much better for side to side transitions and rolling over. Couldn't believe what a difference the RTSS preload could make.
Skis set left in middle position, right in narrow position.
Currently I have my sway bar out and ski springs set 6 full turns out from all in. I'm pretty happy with it but I need to swap with the GF again and compare swaybar in versus out...same day, same conditions. Verify it's not just placebo effect....
502 miles on the Pro and counting...
Thanks for the tip; I had the RTSS at stock (10 3/8") which seemed about right to control ski lift and prevent bottoming. My big problem was the center shock - only had 3-4 threads showing! Turned it in another 4 turns or so and WHAT a diff! I figured the dealer knew what they were doing when they set my sled up for my weight... NOT! Should have checked this! Did soften the RTSS and that helped even more but problems bottoming the suspension then along with the fronts (did the same as you - no bar and 6 turns out). One thing is for certain - I cannot STAND the bar so mine will never go back on; if you like to jump and mogul mash, the bar sucks.
Have FUN!

PS - The shocks have to go, valving is for my grandma and NO stoppers? FOR REAL Polaris??? I was coming off a REV with Tom's Fox Evol R suspension so maybe I'm just spoiled?
