Both my husband and I use this computer and I guess I had not logged off, as he actually replied to this, but it was under my ID. He gave the simple version, which is a good starting point. It all depends upon the clutch, the type of weights, profile of the weights, and many other factors...
I went 7000 miles on the OEM crank, Amsoil Racing 2000 (now Dominator) and 2 gallons AV gas to 10 gallons Premimum.
The sled does better with the SLP single, the twins are better than stock. I would be happy to help you with setup. I never had a problem with the steering that I can remember...
I am seriously looking at an M8. Talked to Bret Rassmussan today, the only mod he recommended was the Power Advantage can from Speedwerx. I am going to demo the sled first. Still debating between the 153 and the 162. I guess the LE only came in the 153. I want to ride an XP and a Dragon...
Koby, very very true. Been there, did not quite burn it down. When she runs lean and changing jets does not do it and you go lean, rich, lean, rich, and then she dies when you are all alone 1200 miles from home in the Canadian wilderness and the tank does not look right, loosen the cap, then...
I am going throw a wrench into this thread. What about detonation? Detonation is a more powerful class of combustion causing a shockwave and generating higher pressures. You can hear detonation, even mild detonation. Detonation will eat at the piston and can cause ring failure. It can also...
I was told last spring it was a toss up between the M8 and the Dragon. Go with the one I can get a better deal on. I have to admit I am much closer to my Polaris dealer then my Cat dealer, actually several Polaris dealers. Polaris's track record with cranks makes me lean more towards the...
I have been thinking more about what I need in a sled.
Something that is nice to my back on groomer forsaken trails; easy to sidehill with; does not get stuck too easy; will get me through the deep powder and up the mountains; will allow me to keep up with the guys I ride with; will be a good...
Can I go with your group? I will take you out to dinner. I go riding with the guys so there is no way they are going to get that great of treatment taking me along. I will do a lot of things and maybe even make sandwiches for everyone, but I prefer to ride. I guess I do get stuck maybe one...
I really need to find a dealer that is willing to let me demo a sled or two for at least 4 hours. I need to spend some time on each one to know what feels right and I also need to do the same sled with a 153 and a 162. I have ridden a 151 forever so going to a 153 will be nothing, but the 162...
Checked out an M8 yesterday. I was considering the limited because it is all black, but I am not sure I like the black tunnel and it does not come in a 162. So if I get the white and orange one, I can just have the dealer order me the black seat right there and hopefully just switch it out...
Make them???
Lethbridge is like 4.5 hours away. (3.5 in my car) Provided we don't get pulled in for an hour or so crossing the border (which seems to happen all the time now). I hate Sweetgrass with a passion. US is great, but going into Canada sucks. I have had to leave a sled on the...
For once, I have decided to make it all about me! No I am not stuck up, but I am tired of listening to the hubby whine about wanting a new M1000 and then spending $$$ on his PolCat to the tune of a new sled. I have been riding my 2001 Polaris 800 since 2001. It became a mod sled in late 2002...
One of the best I have done is frozen shrimp scampi from Costco and Perogies. The butter and seasonings are already frozen on each shrimp, just throw 7 to 10 shrimp and a few perogies in a cooking bag that seals (I tried 3 layers of foil and it still got butter on the pipe) throw it on the pipe...
Drill it.
I have used JB Weld to fill some holes and small cracks. I used a thin piece of brass, part of my belly pan, rivets, and lots of black silicone to redo the belly pan for my secondary when I did the DnR.
