18 mtn cat handling issues

TS Drag Racer said:

I just came off an 850X and an Axy's the prior year. I like my new Cat better than both of them, mine doesn't steer heavy at all. I'm running 90psi in my front shocks and I'm a 6 4" 240lb without gear on, advanced rider. Check your throttle maybe your only getting half throttle...:face-icon-small-ton

All jokes aside, the throttle butterflies on my cousins 17 mountain cat would not open up 100%. They would only open to make 3/4.

Right on.
Did you go down in pressure on your skis?

I am running 45 in my skis.
Clicker 2-3 on the trail.
Clicker 1-2 Alpine/Tree riding.
Clicker 1 powder

It will really roll up alot easier with more pressure in the center track shock and less in the skis.

What about all the linkage in the steering shaft? That has to make it steer harder versus a straight shaft.

If I drop my pressures that low I will bottom out the sled on any kind of big whoop. I weigh 190 kitted up. But I also ride with extra gas and usually skis or a board on a rack. So maybe 210+

Quick question aside...

I have an early release Sno Pro with the Fox Float 3 shocks. I can seem to connect the pump onto the fitting of the shock sue to clearance with with the cowling / airbox. The air fitting is right at the top of the shock.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can remedy this situation? I tried turning the sled on its side to take pressure off the shock and still can't connect the pump to the shock.

Thanks!

Get rid of the QS3 shocks and everything will be better.
