2007 Apex and 2008 Nytro Darting - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

Hey guys: What tricks have been known to take care of the Apex and Nytro tendency to dart around on groomed trails? I am in love with these sleds, but on 200 mile trail runs, it gets tiresome fighting the handlebars all the time. Let me know what you have done and how well it worked - I want to get this resolved before next season. Wig

Are they picked?

No picks, all showroom stock.

Some track and ski setup adjustment is in order.
The reason that there is "darting" is usually due to too much ski down pressure, or poor alignment.
Changing the skis to a style with a deeper keel or a double keel can help. Dual carbide setups work well also.
If you do not want to spend the money, adjust the front track preload so that there is less pressure on the skis. You may lose some steerage (scuffing/pushing) in the corners though.
