Hey guys, a buddy of mine has a 09 XP 163 and its a trench monster.
Is the skid set up similar to the RMK's?
I haven't seen it yet, but he's got his limiter straps let out and i have no idea about his FTS. Would running his straps in the middle hole and lessening the preload on the FTS help decrease his track attack angle and help it climb up on the snow better?

I can troubleshoot most things on a Poo, but have never worked on a Doo. :face-icon-small-con

On the 09 you want the limiter out all the way....and its still short (They went to a longer shock and limiter in 10+).
Front skid shock fairly soft....about 1/4" preload from spring being loose... Sled off ground.
Rear springs on 3-4 depending on rider weight.
Stock track has too many holes....a 2.5 camo works better.
Other than that, its riding style or follow the Pro to not get stuck as often.
