:inlove: Looking for setup ideas for gade suspension for wife to ride. Does anyone have ideas for easier steering and soft ride? Already have let out limiter, all settings on softest. Slow speed steering still to much effort.

studdog what carbides are on the machine. I take it that you are using stock skiis(precisions)and what year gade is it? Try adjusting coupling blocks for more weight transfer(skinny side out) as this will also make the skiis lighter. It is a real problem to dial a Doo in for someone who weighs around 100lbs. something else you might want to look into is a quick adjust limiter kit $85CAD from Doo. that way you can dial it in for conditions and rider. there are also lighter springs available for that machine for smaller riders. They are around $55 CAD

Thanks for the fast reply. 04 gade, simmons flexi-skis 4 inch cuttting carbides. Tried the uncoupled position and it did lighten up front end some but ride quality seemed to be worse. I think these gades are just front end heavy. Many male riders have complained about steering effort.
