Just throwing out a reminder for all to check your beacons before the season starts for software updates / recalls, etc. Just had two Ortovox units updated, took 15 minutes to do both at dealer. If you have the time to check Instagram or Crackbook, you've got time to do a search online. Stay...

Those are 14-15 Cat rails, should be a direct bolt on.

I’d rather ride my wife’s sled (or a pink one) then be at home not sledding. Hell, I’d ride a rainbow wrapped sled if someone else was paying my bills so I could ride all winter...

The 850 should be solid, it’s been on the snow awhile. And turbochargers can be rebuilt for a fraction of the cost of replacement. If it were mine I’d save my $$$, but knowing me I wouldn’t keep it stock anyway, so extended warranty would be a moot point - I’ve never had a stock sled past the...

If anyone is interested, there is a new 911 cover for the Team primaries in the classified section. Saves you a $100, and maybe a failure...

North Dore was 42 km, but a moot point, as it is closed for sledding, has been since early 2000’s. If you are looking for trail riding, there are lots in Alberta, look at the Golden Triangle

You can, but the suspension geometry will be different, as the front arm is different, as are the mount points. How will this affect the suspension action? No idea. The best solution is to install the arms on the rails, then make a jig to ensure you have proper alignment. Ensure the suspension...

I’m not brand loyal, owned them all. Wife rides a Pro with a 660 kit cause she wasn’t confident in the 800 Poo. We rode summits from 97-2007, the cost of ownership was high on those sleds excluding the old 670x’s. I’ve been on Cat since 2007, and they’ve never let me down. Yes, they are heavier...

I’m a Cat guy, but as far as I’m concerned Cat shouldn’t be selling a kit. For what they charge for sleds these days it should be offered at no charge to the consumer as an update IMHO, and if said sled goes down due to snow ingestion without physical damage apparent to the intake, that top end...

If I was to make a guess, the rear skid was set up way too soft and the scissor was smacking the crap out of the coupler while mogul mashing. I used the OVS coupler (same principle) prior to installing a Kmod suspension in my 1100T, but took it easy on the trail, (I'm old) never had an issue...

Nice find, especially with the updated front end. Looking forward to seeing your build!

Heaviest part of the sled will be where the rider is. Using a set of 4 scales (Think intercomp or equivalent, not bathroom stuff), I was able to get the balance of my King Cat to 47% front and 53% rear (with rider aboard & full of fuel, etc). Suspension tuning goes a Very long way in how these...

Regarding drop brackets, be aware that you’ll be transferring weight to the front of the sled, resulting in heavier steering effort. Not a huge deal in loose snow, but not so great for trail handling.

I wouldn’t waste my time or $$$ on the ABC kit, spend the extra $$$ & get the 911 cover, then have the clutch balanced- much more better in the long run. I’ve ran the 911 cover for years on everything, money well spent...

Saw an ad for the dealer in Prince Albert, Sk. There’s a couple online (google), but they are getting scarce quickly

If you’d consider a Cat version, there are a couple 2019 KingCats out there. Haven’t seen any Winders advertised though...

Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

If you take your stuff to dealers ( I don’t as I’m a mechanic), go with the brand that has a local dealer and provides good after sales service. As far as brand reliability goes, they can all have issues. My personal experience has Cat as the most reliable, followed by Doo, then Polaris. Easiest...

Most of the manufacturers are making it tough for the mom & pop stores. West Country Leisure dropped BRP after 27? Years as they wanted him to move to Drayton and build a new shop. Car dealers are no better, the manufacturers dictate the store front, drive thru service bays, etc. These costs...
