Heavy Steering

[01mndoo]

I have a 01 MXZ 700 that I just stretched out to a 136 and am having steering issues. I installed a cobra 136 x 1.32 a set of USI X2 skies and Works Performance shocks on the front this fall. Now that I have had it out a couple of times I am having extremely hard steering. I let out the limiter strap one hole and added preload on the middle shock with little help. I am thinking it has to do with the fronts shocks or the limiter strap but don't know where to start. Any help would be great

Bet the new skis are the problem. big square keel on them? Alot of those agressive skis are hard to turn. If the keel is deep and square, try rounding the edges a little bit with a file or grinder.

Or, after looking it up on the 'interlink', maybe you just need to adjust it!

The X2 is the first mass-produced adjustable keel ski and features three different stages or sizes of inserts for installation in the keel. This gives the rider the ability to "tune" the ski's handling prowess, ranging from mild to ultra aggressive. USI founder/owner Kevin Metheny and his crew took all their knowledge of ski design and poured it into these skis, creating a hybrid masterpiece.
