I have recently acquired a minty 2000 Phazer with very low miles. Love it, and having lots of fun riding the trails. The only complaint I have is that the rear end seems to wonder as I go down trails. The track is factory, but not very worn. I notice the rear susp limiting straps are loose with some slack when the sled sits at rest under its own weight.
What are the starting points for zeroing this susp back to factory settings? I see there is a chart, but it goes by model letters like SX, etc. Is there a letter model name for the Phazer 500? If not, which sled do I set it up like?

Phazer has the same setup as a 2000 V-max.

If you have the stock steel skis, switch them for a newer plastic ones. Even the 02 Viper style skis make a huge difference. The SLT skis from SLP make a excellent upgrade. Don't go too agressive on the skis (C&A racing etc.) unless you are going to change the track. If you don't stud or change the track, just power slide the corners. You have to get the hang of rolling into the throttle a little before you need it because it doesn't respond quite as quick as the bigger sleds.
Once you have plastic skis you can take a lof of weight off the front end. It gives you better traction to boot. Most plastic skis have a lower mount profile, so you will already have weight off by just changing skis.
