Battery/Skis. Need advice

[nytroman21]

New member here looking for some advice fellas. I have an 08 nytro and the battery is shot (original battery). What do you guys suggest for a easy swap new battery? Also, where do I get the best price on it?
Next, I'm currently running C&A skis. They just don't fit my riding style. Thinkin of trying the new tuner skis (anybody interested in a trade?) My skis are white with black loops. Also willing to sell them if anyone is interested. Looking for something with next to no darting and less steering effort. I'm also trying to make the best of it with the least amount of money also. I still have to stock skis if theirs an easy fix using those? Sled is a shorty with a 1.5 camoplast track. What do you guys suggest? Thanks Josh

For the battery I got my last one from Walmart online, the tuner skis I have found make it hard to turn the skis and I'm a big boy. They have all most no darting, do you have the bar relocation done?

No on the bar relocation. Unless I'm unaware of it. I have lake effect risers with Rsi bars and absolutely love it. Maybe tuners aren't the way to go for. Might have to look into something else.

If you don't have the bar relocation I would look into it big time one of the best things I have done

I may and just not know it. How can I tell?

Just look under the rubber cover under the riser and if you two black plastics bushings it's stock

Aftermarket it may look something like this but the bars will be moved.

Thanks. I'll check next time I got the sled out.

not true, if you use the cr steering relocator or another hand made, you still can have the stock bushing

Spend the money on the steering relocate before the skis. You can put stud boy deuce bars on the stock skis to eliminate darting. I was able to make my 08 RTX handle fairly well with the stock skis and deuce bars but now run Curves and haven't looked back.

For a battery give a Motobatt a try..Good battery, AGM style..

I had pilot 6.9 skis but got rid of them because they push bad in loose snow but they do steer easy and don't dart. If I were you I would look at the mtx skis.

Did you flip the rubber stop around as well? I've heard that seems to help a little with stock skis.

Make sure the toes are facing forward.

That combo with stud boy duece bars eliminated the darting with stock skis? How was the steering effort?
