GSX Limited gsx 600 HO SDI.Great Sled.Except for the bad darting on trails.Could it be the precision skis?Would adjusting the suspension solve this problem?Any ideas? HELP!

I would start with your owners manual. It should tell about suspension adjustments. If your front suspension is too ferm it will cause darting. You should have a couple of inches of sag in the front. If the front is adjusted properly, you may need to loosen the rear strap one hole. I think you should be able to dial it in, for the conditions you ride.

It is definitely not the Precision skis, those eliminate darting.

Look into the suspension as suggested above

On all of my friends Skidoos they took their Precision Skis off and put on some aftermarket kinds because of the darting,now they don't dart. The problem with Precision skis is when you get into another set of Precision skis tracks you can't get out.i forgot what kinds they put on,but they did help. They put on a snocross type ski,aggressive.

trachfusion900 couldnt have said it better. While in Canada last month my 05 600 MXZ HO was riding in the groves so bad I thaught I was going to bend my handlebars trying to turn!

Have you checked your toe out? Any toe in will cause nasty darting and toe out should be anywhere from 0 to 1/2".
