    • I think the heavy steering also has to do with what you came off of and the difference between the old and new.  when I first rode my doo the steering felt so light, it was awesome, but needed some more bite, as you find that happy place you inevitably add some pressure to the front to achieve that, so I think that is why the snow trackers are so well reviewed by adding bite, not overly aggressive bite though without adding more pressure/weight to the skis.    perhaps not riding as much now vs before also plays a role….you are not in your prime sledding shape/form as well 😂
    • Other thing worth trying is let the limiter strap out a bolt hole.  That and / or increase the pre-load on the front shock in the rear skid.  
    • Sure does. An effective effort to sell early seasonals in lieu of. On another front the new bridge is in at Riviere Madeline and the trail from Murdochville to La Cache is back in service so Gaspe is in good shape again.
    • My Mach is heavy to steer. From all the reading I have done, it is a common issue with them. That said, with Bergstrom triple points it goes where you ask. My reading indicates that like you stated semi aggresive sno trackers are the top voted cure for the heavy steering. The heavy steering is the only negative about the sled and by the end of last winter I hardly noticed it any more, otherwise I have never ridden as comfortable sled before. I am currently getting the smart shocks serviced since it seems that if they aren't serviced every 2-3 seasons they may require very expensive replacement.
    • Have you done anything to try and fix it?  I hear this a lot about the Mach’s.  It shouldn’t be.  You have all of the components to make a great ride.  Maybe try loosening the front springs off, put a set of snow trackers on it and maybe adjust the limiter strap setting.  Also get the rear sag set for your weight.   What about it is it that you hate?  Heavy steering?  Rough ride?  Inside ski lift?   Does seem like ski doo missed the mark on factory settings on this model.
