Question for the S&M brain trust.

I'm not usually one to hop onto other's sleds but I rode my cousin's on sunday and man does it feel different than mine.
I'm on a '13 163, stock
His is a '14 154, stock (minus clutch)
His is easy as can be to lay over and initiate sharper maneuvers which is something I have been struggling to get down with mine. Hell, I honestly found it easier to ride my REV I think...
What have you guys done to set yours up? I'm 6'3", 210lbs. I'll have to check my skid adjustments and get back to you but I have the front shocks on 1 and the T-Motion has not been locked out (first thing I confirmed)

Skis the same??

My 14 163 xmx was setup as this

Sway bar still in, shocks on 3 front, skid shock front with sled on ground, loose as possible with it just snuged up, limit strap tightened up one from stock, rear springs set to 4-5 on stock springs and fat kid riding it

 

[Old-Soul]

Well, his are green and mine back but unless there's some magic sauce in them

I'll take a peak at my skid tonight see where it's at. Thanks!

Went out to my parents farm by New Norway. My son is so pumped to start riding. The RX-1 has been perfect for him to learn throttle control and is very stable. Couldn’t get enough.

Finally made it out for a ride yesterday after 2 years of no sledding. We found some areas with decent snow and some that were really thin. No broken parts or major incidents so a decent day all around.

Adjusted as suggested and took it to Fernie for a day.
Hard to say as we didn't get to play in much snow worth playing in but it may have improved, I'll wait till I get into some deeper stuff to make any other changes.

 

[Old-Soul]

Three day trips to Fernie in three weekends is a lotta driving.
At least this time I was lucky enough to get cinnamon buns from Cinnobear in Coleman.

Haven't caught a creek in two seasons so I decided this time I needed a two pack. Tree and a creek.

Yup, burned all the gas. Broke trail in, dumped my fuel and got back to the parking lot on fumes

 

[Rene G]

It was a 125km day

 

[AreWeThereYet]

It was a 125km day

And we didn't even go that far in

 

[Old-Soul]

Beautiful day after the temps came up with some fresh snow and blue skies.

So with the introduction of the Maytryx trail sled, and the inevitable RMK to follow in that chassis, will people still refer to the XM chassis as a converted trail sled? Asking for a friend haha
