they were grooming it on saturday. big trailer rigs were parked at bottom main parking and the ride up for the first 3km or so you hit a few rocks, not that bad though. Most of us went past the main turn off to the next left turn off the highway and drove up to the next parking lot about 2 km...
I got my new one in but haven't installed it because the epoxy job i did works pretty good,, and I don't need to worry about smashing a fixed smashed one lol. So who's the first person to blow a belt on this new design? how many km's? or maybe no one has blown one yet.
I already broke my left side clutch breather screen, I'm not sure how, I probably kicked it. I think it was $30 so not that bad. Also my black turbo vent crunched against a tree in a turbo wheelie that went outta control,,for how hard i hit that big tree, I'm surprised at how little damage...
Imagine being an insurance adjuster and all the weird and bogus chit you get to see lol...Im just guessing here,, but the snow is starting to pile up soon, he's been stuck inside for too long witht this cold weather and needs a new sled.
Have had better results with 91 octane fuel too. When we fill up at Petro on hi way 1 with 94 octane they seam to rev a bit higher,,I've seen 8300 a couple times,, not good.
Ya I'm over reving on clicker 1 still. I think ill try making the lower gear 1-2 teeth smaller, load the engine sounds about right. I watched a couple of Tom Walter's videos, he's got lots of info that helps make sense of things.
I've got big hands and i really like the new thin bars, when i ride my buddies sled with the older style bars I definitely don't like that.
I would say don't ride finger throttle unless your hands/wrists are fawked or something. I've tried finger throttle too many times, trying to like them...
I remember back in the dirt bike offroad days when everyone had high lifted handle bars rolled forward,,me too lol. My lower back hurt, made no sense,, until I lowered my bars and also rolled them back towards me,, now I love that setup. With sledding it's different, but I still like a bit...
I kinda had the same issues last year and I think it has to do with clutching. The sled would be over reving a bit and i think would load up somehow (in the cylinder or pipe?) and then i would go down into a turn when the track loads up and Wham! big fire ball backfire or big bog. Now that I...
i think it's an excuse to get together have a fire and camp in middle of nowhere,,an excuse to be lazy and not work,,well and be psycho together. There's no way they are all lasting out there that long anyways. They will need supplies that come from the "system", probably have to fill up gas...
In hero snow and spring like conditions i would prefer a NA over a turbo. They are lighter and have enough power to go anywhere,,,,but,, they don't make the whistle and waste gate sound,, so nope, I want the turbo all the time! I'm so addicted to those sounds. Just like sex, the sounds add a...
I'm not sure why snow bikers have a sled vs bike attitude?? I just don't get it. They are 2 totally different weapons and do things better and worse then the other. It's like trying to compare a trials bike to a mx 450, or vice versa. I have ridden some full custom high end snow bikes and...
The only downfall to this flawless factory turbo is spring time traction snow,, blip the throttle a little too much and you are launching out of control (usually around the trees where the heavy snow falls off), but during the normal winter and the deep days, that extra HP is the best thing...
Mine only over revs at around 5500-6500 ft elevation. Once i get higher up on the mountain then it's bang on. I'm gonna add weight with those bolts, simple fix. When it starts over reving i just have to modulate the throttle a bit and just not pin it everywhere. I'm not sure on the whole...
Now that break in is done, the clutching seams mostly dead on with no over rev,, here and there i get an odd bog but not very common. This sled is so incredible I just put gas and oil in it and smile all day, it's super amazing. No need for any mods, just ride it stock. I end up riding way...
