hey all,

wondering what i can do to get rid of all the ski pressure that my 09 162 m8 has with the new c&a xtc skis...

limiter straps are allready all the way out?>

more pressure in the front ski shock and front arm shock in rear suspention do the trick? or is this a trait of the chassis

new to cat...came from a 07 rev 800r

tks

Had C&A pro's on a 05' m7. Talk about a shoulder workout, couldn't ever tune out the ski pressure. They also really hurt the sleds ability to roll on its side in deep snow. I don't think the C&A is a good ski for the m chassis, unless you like sore shoulders. Maybe someone else will post up some tricks to make them work.

You have to adjust the preload on the front arm. May need to replace the spring to get the preload you want. I sent my rear shocks to Holz to address this issue. Aggressive skis really grab the snow on this chasis.
