[sdrev600ho]

I converted my 03 rev 600ho sport to the flex skis w/pcs and went on my first ride thursday. Conditions were groomed with 2" of fresh now on top. Steering effort was easy and darting was none existant, but when I rode aggressively they pushed in the corners. I tried increasing the springs in the front to 4+ with little help. The carbides are what ever came on the skis. I'm thinking of changing the carbides. What length carbide should I get or should I get dual runners?? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

I Used 9" Stud Boy Shaper wear bars and the plastic Anti dart pieces Skiddo sells for thier single runner skis Works great , Also loosened the limiter strap 1 hole .

I also put flex skies on my 2005 rev 800 and changed to woodys 6 inch double carbide.I will take it for my first ride tomorrow.I hope the darting and pushing will be solved.

just put flex on mine. I felt the 5 inch carbides that came with were too aggressive. Wifes sled had a set of worn 4 inch on 7/16 bar. I put those on. put the toe out to 1/8 inch, front on 2, center on 2 back on 2 and it seems to handle pretty well. Not too heavy steering. Was able to get up to about 85MPH on the lake and no darting. Felt a little squirrely on some sloppy trails, but overall a big improvement. I think shaper bars are way too aggressive for this chassis.

If you want steering, you need to put on a set of Dooly carbides. I put doolies on my flex's and this REV was transformed into a Vette. Incredible handling!!!!!!!!!!

You may want to loosen your front spring on the rear skid to add more weight to the front to try to eliminate push in the corners. I find with the revs you have to adjust your front spring to match the conditions ... more weight in loose snow conditions, and less weight on hard pack.

Good advice. I'm running a 1/2" bar on my flex skis with 9" carbide, although they're somewhat worn. I also have the tuning fork strip thingies. I tried the flexskis w/out the strip things and it steered even easier, but darted quite badly. The strips really helped. I have a set of dooly carbides on order right now, just to try. Not sure if I'll be able to remove the strips or not, I'd like to because I think I could lose some of the steering effort required if I take them off (they effectively lengthen the keel) and maybe the dooly will control the darting.

I have a set of flex's on my '05 renegade and am contemplating removing them due to the excessive steering effort required.

I rode 800 miles last weekend in Ontario and 'bout wore my shoulders off trying to crank those bars - a very tiring job. I have the PCS strips and some half-worn out 6" carbides. Running front on 2nd loosest setting, middle near tight and rear at 3.

Any thoughts on how to lessen the steering effort???
I like the PCS = keel length theory......

If I was only riding 200 miles per day it wouldn't be an issue, but at higher mileage, I may need to go back to the precisions.

I have SLP powder pros and was having tha same problem. I let your limiter strap all the way out and put the center shock on 2. That greatly helped. The SLP also has 2 holes on the bindings for adjustment. You want the ski tip on the far back of the sled as possible. Keep playing with the set up I think you will get it. They have to be better than the percisions.

Good Luck
