Ski-doo pilots

[stinx]

I had Pilot 5.7 on my Attak and they were a huge improvement over the stock ski. I just put the same ski's on my Nytro SE

Hey stinx what rubber stoppers did you use??

 

[Dennis]

I just bought a set of 5.7 for my 09 SE, planning on running Roetin Carbides, Roetin only sells them in a set of four, two with 4" carb to be run in the middle and the two outside ones with 6" carbs...... Does this sound like the best choice? I have 96 studs, only groomed trail riding.

I just put a set of 6.9's on my XTX tonight, for the Yamaha's you need the Ski-Doo ZX rubber mount.

 

[Dennis]

Yes, I did get the ZX rubbers. I've been looking and the skidoo factory accessory carbides come in 4" and 6" pairs, same as the Roetin. I think you'd have to go up a size, at least in the middle, so you were running all 6", I am hoping someone on the site has an opinion....... I doubt anyone would recomment 4" on the center keel.

 

[nytroD]

You should run 6" in the center, 4" on the outer. The outer only touches when your on the snow.

 

[Dennis]

Hey, thanks, that is what I suspected!

The local dealers, around here are just about giving Nytros away, this time of year. So it has definitely gotten me to consider a Nytro.

The dealer closest to me is trying sell me a new 2008. I questioned the cost of the $1,400 part kit to upgrade a 2008 to 2009 front end geometry. And dealer says all the 2008 needs is a set of Pilot Skis to correct the handling issues. Is this correct?

(By the way, last year I demo rode a 2008 Nytro RTX and DID NOT LIKE THE HANDLING, but last weekend I demo'd a 2009 Nytro XTX and though it handled great for it's size.)

It certainly makes a huge difference. I've not ridden an 09, but my 08 with the Pilots had no handling issues to speak of.

I just went from 5.7s to 6.9s and haven't had it out for a good run yet. I'm hoping it's even better.

You would be surprised what a good set of carbides or skis can fix. I put dooly's on my sled and noticed a huge difference. I will be trying pilot skis in the near future. For the money they are cheapest ski when you compare to C&A, Simmons, or USI's.

I was thinking pilots but opted for yamaha mountains with dooly carbides. I am waiting one more week to try them out ditch banging. Are you guys going with 6.9 mountain performance to get the second carbide?

 

[Goddo]

I'm going with the 6.9s for flotation purposes only. The 5.7 is awesome, but with the powder we have this time of year and the off-trail riding I do, they just aren't keeping the front end up enough for my liking.

 

[billey100]

Goddo you selling those 5.7's?

 

[Indy]

i have a left side, clutch side all black 6.9 if you can find a right side.

09 se using 5.7 with dual stud boy 7.5 shapers on them, it is a awsome setup for groomed trails
