ok my dad has a 2000 xcr 800 will not turn at all will just slides everywhere now what ?i put new carbides in the front no help i got the front end set up tight i thightened the shocks up almost all the way i set rear suspension shock all the way tight as hes 300lbs but i dont know about the adj front limited straps do i tighten them up make them shorter to make more weight in the front or loosen them up make longer my local polaris dealer said let the straps out so untighten the 2 nuts to make the straps longer.it seems worse to me id think you would shorten the straps or turn the nuts in and suck up the suspension???i dont know but this thing wont turn and it sucks runs good but wont turn whats wrong?

loosen the shock springs back to a normal position.
The shocks do not control ski pressure.
Tighten the limiter strap!! Loosening it will relieve pressure on the front skis only making the situation worse.(slap your dealer next time you see him!)

Agree with Taxicat. Lift the front end up off the ground, loosen the ski spring adjusting collars until they rattle, then tighten enough to remove rattle. No tighter to start. Lift the back end up off the ground and set the front skid spring up the same way you did the ski springs, loosen til it rattles, then tighten until it doesnt rattle. No, this one isn't easy to adjust, but it's the place to do it as this spring controls how much weight is on the skis. Minimum preload here is max weight on the skis. IF you still have trouble turning, THEN tighten up limiters 1/4" at a time until you get it where you like it. Tightening limiter straps is best done last as it limits suspension travel, not good unless you have to.

out on bigger carbides to, i have 10.5 inch ones on my sled and they are great. i like 90 degree over 60 degree carbides myself. not as aggresive but last 4 time longer

Gain some weight and really lean into the corners too, lol. J/K. However I find this is the problem with my Fusion: it weighs so much compared to my strength and weight. I typically do not corner as well as I mean to, however I can still out-perform some of the other riders as well. For me it seems it's strictly sled-to-rider weight ratio. I can dip my butt in the snow, and the darn thing still won't lean.

1.25" track right? That&#39;s the price you pay. Not as easy to play in the corners. Only the bigger guys have the strength/weight to manhandle them.

A sled that&#39;s set up for play in the corners is perfectly balanced when considering traction front to rear. Not too hard to break the back end loose (1" track works great). A slight tap on the brake/weight shift/butt wiggle and a handfull of throttle is all you should need..... Back end should break loose just as the inside ski starts to lift.....
