We purchased are skis about 2 weeks ago and love them. Only one problem after 6 hrs of use. the steering is making a rubbing nose on both skis. Not sure what the problem is. The dealer told us the recall handle bars have been replaced. So I don't think that is the problem. But really have no idea.

Yes the squeeking steering-noice is a common problem, i have it on mine. Not really a problem, just annoying. There are threads about it here if you take a look. Btw, welcome!

Welcome

Welcome aboard, it's just plastic rubbing against plastic, spray the entire area with Lube frequently.

That what I do. Take wd40 and use the red straw and point it at the bottom of the handle bars and give it a little squirt all around. Lossen it up and stops the sqeek.
Welcome to the board.

As good as WD40 is, is there any other type of lubricant that would be better, maybe more of a long term thing. I heard something about silicone lubricants that are just a step up from WD, might be worth looking into those.

 

[GizmoK]

I can vouch for wd40

welcome

wd40 on plastic is not a good idea
id go with silicone oil

That's what I was thinking, just not the fact that it's not good on plastic, didn't know that part. Does it stain plastic?
