To remove or not remove sway bar .. that is the question - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

So I have been toying with the idea of removing the seay bar on my 00 skidoo 700 Summit Hymark.
I dont really ride trail except for getting from the parking lot to the "zones" .
Our trails are pretty narrow and twisty so riding fast on them is not really an option anyways.
The hiccup is , since I have to cut mine off .... its a "no going back" type of scenario.

It doesn't have to be cut to remove it, but it is a lot of work to get it out in one piece. Removing it will make sidehilling much easier, but you will get a lot of inside ski lift when cornering. If you don't mind going slow through the trails then go for it.

im a cat guy, so i dont typically have to deal with this issue...however, i did ride a ski-dont rev and xp (both just once ;-)). both had the front sway bar quick disconnects.

i dont think its that good of an idea for us mountain riders to keep the sway bars connected. it makes boondocking much more difficult. it was nice to re-connect for trail riding though.

since i dont have a sway bar anyway, i dont feel like i'm missing out on anything. all you gotta do is lean into the turn a little more on the trail and problem solved. just my .02.

I took the sway bar out of my 2000 RMK. It wass great for me.. Made a big difference how it handled out in the jing pow.. but now my wife rides that sled... so I need to put it back in.

Well I think Im gonna pull it as my old 91 AC 530 didnt have one and I was OK with that on the trails.
