    Yamaha to exit the snowmobile market

    Boys boys boys. I said "Sleds sold in north america" - You guys realize there's more to North America than just Alberta and BC right? LOL Yes, I would agree not 30% yammys for western Canadian riding. I don't even think I saw 30% as Cats last year. At least 80% is Doo and Poo out west more...

    Yamaha to exit the snowmobile market

    There was a total of 104,000 sleds sold in north america last year (and based on the sleds on the hill, probably less than 30% were yammys). UTV and ATVs combined were 620,000 in 2019 alone (and this might just be a US only number). Easy to see why they are getting out of the market. Sucks...

    Good stuff! Leave it up to Niner to revive a 10 yr old thread! LOL I still got the ol' barrow but fawk.......I'm 10 years older now so not sure if I could run 100 ft..... thinking I'll run the shop vac with the blower facing backwards, pour some stale AV gas in the bucket and light the...

    Looking Info on Lake Koocanusa

    Lots of deadheads and trash early in the season in Kookanusa. Caven Crk / Teepee Crk FSR takes you up and over. You can take the Gold FSR down into Cranbrook. If you stay on the Teepee Crk road then you turn onto the Yahk River road and you come out right the dump. Can't just camp up there...

    to be fair, he was likely in shock that a big bore triple ran WFO that long without melting the center piston into yogurt....

    2024 Polaris

    Most watercraft based 1200cc sized ones were in the 225-250. The really big ones, 1500 cc + were typically around 300 on the dyno, so yes realistically about 250+ on the hill. That pic above is a 1725 Cutler, Dale says it makes about 325 (corrected at 6000 ft altitude) with spray.

    2024 Polaris

    OMFG, stupid melodrama on this forum all the time. Like you pussies have no idea what riding a crazy sled is about. "Tame the Beast it will be the ride of your life" LMAO - maybe you guys should put that on some t-shirts so you can wear them when you go out together to get your nails done. The...

    Chinese diesel heaters for enclosed sled trailer

    All of the ones I've seen are on the stand alone tanks, not the all in one units. Mine looks like this but its got a blue cap and a different screen. As long as it sits below the tank in a vertical orientation and above the pump so it won't cause it to cavitate, I don't see why you couldn't...

    Ethanol in all grades of fuel

    Yes, obviously if your sled doesn't have an O2 sensor, then that post wouldn't apply to you........#facepalm

    Ethanol in all grades of fuel

    For the guys running AV gas, keep in mind you need to amortize the cost of at least two oxygen sensors over a season, since AV is really hard on them. So add in another $220 to your fuel amounts and in the end, blending race gas or using a booster is may actually be cheaper (and safer for your...

    2022/2023 fernie season.

    LMAO - not a chance unless they get a record amount of spring snow, current snow level is about 60% of normal, and the less they have, the less there is to melt so it goes even faster. If things don't change soon, they will likely be mostly done just after Easter if the grooming stops. A few...

    top 10 baddest chutes on Boulder Mtn in July

    What he ^^^ said. It sucks he's gone man, but he was a hell of a sledder, one of the best I ever knew. His contributions were legendary and I hope this thread is still around for generations as a tribute of Dan's memory to who were truly pioneers in these chutes and this riding style. In 20...

    Need help locating missing snowmobile

    I've been upset with sleds before but never to the point I didn't give a fawk if it was strapped in or not, the 9R must have really been a disappointment. Check the local landfill, that's usually where they take garbage that falls out of vehicles.

    Humorous Kijiji Adds

    Guys like these are just plucking clowns who have no idea what ch!t is worth. Sold a 2011 for $10K 2 years ago, no way his 2000 is worth $20 large. Edmunds says his truck is worth $8K.

    2022/2023 fernie season.

    It was OK, Sat was better weather but Sunday was better snow. They are still down on snow quite a bit, I would say probably need 2-3 ft of good powder and then consolidation. Props to the club, all trails were in great shape, even the snowbikes could go quick.

    g5 driveshaft clamp

    Potentially maybe from a manufacturing standpoint for Ag equipment if they don't have the manpower for production, but in terms of raw supply, metallurgical coal production never really slowed globally throughout the pandemic. Like many things these days, the ol' "supply chain" excuse has...

    g5 driveshaft clamp

    That's the thing - $28K is enough though. I haven't had to check the numbers in a while but like a 40R chain is good for 5,000+ lbs if I remember right. Hell a 1" wide NP231 transfer case chain is only $120 and is capable of moving a 5,000 lb vehicle. If its truly a chain / sprocket issue and...

    g5 driveshaft clamp

    Another BRP fawk up. $28K for a machine they can't even get the chain and sprockets right. This is what happens when you use cheap powdered stamped sprockets and don't heat treat them long enough. Get what you pay for.
