Hey Guys/Gals,
I bought a 2014 600 Indy this year. Has 2,600 km on it, stock track, studded. stock everything really. Anyway, this weekend was the first time I had it on some decent trails. I had a great time. Sled has loads of power and very easy to whip around corners.
I have two issues. The first is the rear end fish tails or darts around on hard groomed trails. When we go off into the less travelled single trails where it’s just more of a natural or unpacked base, the rear end calms down and bites in nicely. When I’m ripping around a corner hard, it behaves, but I can break it loose and slide it around p, if I want to.
The second issue is the front tends to dart around on hard packed groomed trails. Again, tends to calm down when it’s more fresh or loose snow.
Everything is set per the manual. Front shocks, torsion bar preload is set to soft, FFSS and FRSS are also set as per manual.
Track is studded, so I bought and installed Polaris outer rear wheels to aid in outer track bend.
I’ve read about adjusting the tension straps, but mine isn’t adjustable (no holes)and there is only one strap.
I’ve also read about adjusting the front track shock, but mine does no spear to be adjustable. I can see the spring, but the top of the shock has a rubber boot over it that does not appear to be removable.
What can I adjust to calm down the rear end? Oh, I weigh about 175 lbs.
