Oh I know it's a big deal that it comes factory with these big tracks. It cost me over 8000.00 to backhalf my 2010 summit into a 174x3. By the time I paid for skid, track, drivers and custom tunnel, it was a lot. To have a sled offered from factory with a 174 is unbelievable. I was on the...
I'm digging this sled with the 174. I'll dig it more with a TSS turbo! I wish skidoo did this two years ago. I would have saved myself a lot of cash. A factory 174x3, wow!
Your right, it does seem like it's a big secret! I had trouble figuring it out too, but I think I have mine close. Mine is 2010 872r, 174x3 so different clutching than yours would be, but from what I read, a few guys use 441 ramps and just load up the pin weight. I don't know what your...
I just got the Qrs tech link tower brace for my sled. I have a bigbore in mine and figured it's not going to hurt by putting it in. Guys are actually discussing this on Dootalk now too.
Not that I know of. I asked Dave if I should get it, and he said he likes premixing better. I suppose more accurate? So I went with the oil delete and I really like it. Seems to use less oil than with the oil pump too. I did whatever Dave suggested. I even have the stock muffler on it!
I put 2 gallons vp 111, 1.2 liters of oil, and the rest premium to every tank. The best way I do it is I have a 20 liter jerry can with 1 gallon marked on the bottom. I pour 1 gallon race gas first, 600 ml's of oil, then top it off with the premium. It mixes real nice and I never bugger up...
When I said I dropped it off and picked it up, I meant the whole engine! I left him my complete engine and he installed everything except the V-force reeds. I then took it to a shop to install because I was too worried about screwing something up.
Hey Highvoltage, silly question, but when and where is the forum ride? And Marchuk, I pulled the whole engine out in the spring and when I finally sent the engine away it was November and I forgot how everything went back together so I had a local shop install it. I never had a sled engine out...
My brother actually dropped it off at Dave's shop. He was passing through Minnesota and dropped it off. When he was on his way back, he picked it up. I think it was five or six days.
Hey Marchuk,
I have 160/290 (i think but pretty sure) primary spring with 16-17 grams pinweight, stock secondary spring with shockwave straight ramp helix set at about 38 degrees and dynamo joe mountain ramps. My gearing is 20/49 with 7 tooth avids.
Hey highvoltage, the climbs I did in the video I couldn't look at the mph because things were happening really fast, and I didn't look down, but anything in sugarbowl was about 53-54 mph with the 7 tooth drivers, whatever that works out to be. This sled kicks ass!
