    maybe yamahas for the family???

    I'd agree with Vipertonytro, 600 vs 700 similar weight. The SRX was a better motor but not a lot of them around, it's getting hard to find parts. I came close to going SRX but went Apex instead. The 700 Mtn maxes were made forever so lots of used/new parts and very reliable. They are heavier...

    fuel question

    BB I thought you were sellin that sapex? If you have not lowered the compression then you need race, or higher octane. I'm only running 8psi and blend avgas with pump gas. If your motor is stock and your running 11psi your going to need minimum 98 octane (good to as low as 3500ft). If the...

    Loss of Atlas Staging Area

    Well if the county maintains the road to the Provincial Park (Chinook Lake) for the cross-country skiers then I would hope they would extend the same courtesy to the sledders and at least plow to the parking lot. Atlas sees a lot more use than the PP in the winter. I cannot see loosing...

    Camping and sledding on a weekend.

    I've done it a few times and the salt is hard on door hinges and locks. Make sure you wash the trailer outside thoroughly after camping. We camped to -17C @ Atlas. We ran a generator all night to power a 1500W base board heater, otherwise the furnace was coming on steady. This is in a 3...

    Snow flake tires in bc

    I run silent armors, winter rated and good to run year round. I've only got 32k on them so far but I like them. Two sets of tires is a pain.

    Crowsnest House Tips

    A buddy of mine is thinking of buying a house in the Crowsnest and is looking for tips but does not no anyone down that way. He's looking for a 3 bedroom house anywhere between Bellevue and Coleman. Are there any neighborhoods to steer clear of? Bad water, areas prone to basement floods...

    Can you guys give me sugestions..

    I've just drilled the holes up front (under the bumper) and covered with frog skin and then pet screen (to protect the frog skin from branches - that stuff is expensive). And I have also covered the grey vents in the side panels with pet screen. That has helped them stay clear of snow. Those...

    Still stuck, cant get out

    You cannot do it....or don't want to try (it's not a ski-doo), I get that. Others can and do every time the sled comes of the deck. Mines stock except for the supercharger. No throttle lag, and it will go places in the trees a stocker will not touch. I'll listen to you talk about doos all...

    Still stuck, cant get out

    I'd hazard a guess that 80% have not ridden one. Ya, I'm bagged at the end of a day...but I'd be bagged if I was riding a Bravo as well. I've always thought if your not bagged at the end of the day, your not riding hard enough and it's the rider that makes any sled point and shoot. I can...

    Nytro engine and apex skid

    Always looking for A-arms, if your getting rid of some and they are straight and either blue or black I'm interested. Might also be interested in body panels and a few other misc. items. Sounds lie your putting together a nypex?

    Motorized and Unmotorized sports

    Snowmobiling is the only motorized sport me or my family do. Other winter activities I do: speed skating, x country skiing, downhill skiing (all with my kids). Summer stuff: Mtb biking, hiking, windsurfing, and a bit o' fishing now and then.

    Nytro Oil Tank Cracking/Leaking

    MPI makes an oil tank as part of their super charger kits for the Apex. Although I have just cracked the lower mounting flange off of my MPI tank. I've got over 7k on my apex and close to 2k with the charger on. But I think the flange crack is from throwing my sled on it's side and the...

    weight problems

    I'd have to either grind weight of the tip of my Daltons or get new weights. This is one of the down sides to the Dalton adjustable, you cannot select where the weight gets added. I think a dual angle helix will help by providing more sensitivity to track torque on the top end. I'm not sure...

    weight problems

    Sorry Barry, I know you posted the same question on my "Visitor Page", I just have not been able to get to it. I've seen the same sort of issue on mine. I thought it might be my tunnel loading up with snow as the clearance between the front cooler and the paddles on my 2.5" CE track is about...
