ski lift way to much

[Doo XP]

How many holes have you tightened up your strap?

I havn't had a chance to play with the XP susp much (yet), and this will sound silly, but TRY letting the limiter strap out and see what happens. In SOME cases, dependin on the chassis, if you tighten the limiter strap TOO much what happens is the front spring down't carry any of the load and the weight is then transfered to the rear spring....the rear spring carries too much load and collapses....skis to the sky! I don't know if this is the case for the XP....the Edge RMK's are this way, they carry the skis lowest with the limiter alll the way out....suck it up and it'll wheelie uncontrollably on a climb. Not the case with MOST chassis-

Let me know what you find out with your XP strap... I know what your saying is true, my buddy had a RMK that did the same thing. I went one tighter on my XP and I haven't tried it yet but just by looking at how it sits on the flat shop floor it looks like the front of the track doesn't touch the ground.... I have not hit the steep and deep yet.

xp suspension set-up

Lengthen the limiter all the way, rear springs as stiff as they will go, front shock in rear suspension set on the soft side, adj. the skis to your liking.
I usually have skis set as soft as they will go, when there is a stabilizer bar.

Thats bang on how I used to run all my sleds, but with my XP I feel like I'm getting more lift than I want... I did lose 50 lbs. dieting this summer maybe I just don't have the body weight I used too hanging over the bars?.

I've duped these settings and I'll be heading out in a few minutes. I have felt like way to much ski in the air action as well. Seems like the oposite of what you would do to correct the problem (tighten down the limiter) but I'll give it a try.

I sucked my strap up one notch. It was good when you had sped but when the sled started to loose speed on a hill the skies would come out of the snow a mile (4-5 feet) and then lose all speed.

It is better with the one notch change. I may even go one more notch.

That is exactly how my XP 163" acts... thanks for the help.
