96MachZ

Hi! I have a 96 Mach Z 780 and my question is what can I do to reduce the steering effort. Moving through sweepers at speed is okay in fact it corners like a train, but in the tight and twistys where you are only going about 30, you have to have arms like Lou Albano to muscle it through the turns. It has 8 inches of carbide and 144 picks. Other than this, I love the sled. Unreal powerband, crisp throttle response and fair to midland rear suspension. The front is not shabby either. If I could just get it to steer a bit easier at low speed I would ride it forever.
Thanks for any help!

all mach z, are tanks through the corners, it is because they are so heavy, i guess u could maybe widen ur stance, but in the end ull have arms like schwarzenagger

you can adjust the limit strap on the front of the rear suspension to take some weight off the skis. it should all be in the manual if you still have it or can get one.

Thanks for the info. I don't have a manual but will see if I can scare one up. Yeah, it is heavy, front, rear and middle. Turning it around on a narrow trail is another mind and back bender. I dread it. I will tinker with the strap thing and see if I can't put some of the heft on the track. If not, time to get one of them workout machines as seen on TV. LOL
