I mentioned in another post about racing the sport for the first time. The only negative I have at this point is the turning radius for woods racing. Has anyone found any type of upgrade to get a tighter turning radius like they've found on the big brother?

Are you sure the front end is not pushing?
I say this, because for me being used to the turning radius of the Wildcat 1000 with the radius mod, the Sport turns on a dime.
But, in a race setting I can see the front pushing because of the lightness of the front springs. I've lifted the rear wheels off the ground coming into corners under braking because of the major weight transfer to the front because of the springs. We'll be testing stiffer springs at the front later this week in order to limit front end transfer and help with launching the front off the jump faces because the front is now absorbing the jumps and we're using all the travel of the front with the shock adjustment closed on compression ....
We'll see the benefits of this after the weekend, our new shocks are coming in from Elka tomorrow, after a quick 1 day turnaround. These guys are always striving for perfection as we are, so their a perfect fit for us.
Also, are you running same width tires front and rear? That will also help your turning and make sure you have a slight toe out at the front, in 4wd it will help keep the front end nervous and responsive....

Digging up an old thread to see if there have been any developments on this. I ride tight trails and would like a tighter turning radius.
