    Thank You Mountain Toys Polaris in Cochrane

    I went there yesterday and was underwhelmed by the one staff member. Did not have accurate pricing and facts plus a few typical tall tales. Matthew on the phone was excellent though, that's why I went out there, too bad I missed him.

    Whats too heavy for a stock 2011 154 Etec tunnel

    I've carried out a dead Dragon on the back of my 146 (track on bumper/tail light) ~70 miles while doubling. 146 is less likely to bend but it had to be a good 300lbs. Your skis shouldn't be a problem. Not saying this is a good idea but it's a good way to tow when you have to...

    Anyone run C&A Pro MTX skis?

    Yeah after I saw them in person I didn't want MTXs. A 7" ski is as wide as is needed I think. The 8" looked bulky and pretty silly. Unless you're a big gay yammy rider I don't see the need for that fat of a ski. I had a line on a good price for them so that's why I was considering it...

    Time for a Doo to Poo change?

    I've had only a couple Skidoos since my last Polaris so this isn't exactly switching religions for me. I've basically done all that I want to do on a SkiDoo and most of what you see in current snowmobile vids, just less distance. I think a new way of riding is interesting and everyone is...

    Do you have any thoughts after the install and your sled build?

    RKT "drop in pistons" and head on '09xp

    I did exactly that last Feb on my niner. It's a wash, no gain or loss but no more heat soak on back to back pulls. Another thing I noticed was that it was suuuper tight after install. Wouldn't rev up quickly and seemed sluggish and under powered. 13.5-1 head around Calgary with Av and it took...

    Exhaust Can for E-tec

    My P-tek MBRP can was painted black top and bottom, chrome around silencer and rusted so it looked 15 years old. HPS is my fav. Good looks and sound.

    Thing can w/muffpot for E-tec

    On my niner I tried my muff on the bend before the can and it was like cooking a steak with a lighter. Back to the y pipe for me.

    09 XP Suspension Settings

    Stock Summits don't have a whole lot of adjustments other than spring preload. A reasonable starting point for an everest would be 2nd softest on the front. Front shock 2nd softest. And rear shock first or second softest. If you are 165, move up from 2nd softest for every additional 25lbs...

    Xp suspension upgrade for 08/09

    I'd say the package from Enzo will accomplish what you're looking for and then some. Stock new or worn out shocks don't compare to what you'll get from Enzo and the bracket/rail swap helps with attack angle more so than fix the rear sag. A good setup and probably stiffer rear springs will...

    Two wheel kit for 2011 xp

    I'm a 3 wheeler guy now too. I had 2 wheels since it started being popular but on a 146 you don't really need it. The track is short enough to not have any trouble sidehilling. And in fact when you have the skis up and get off line it seemed to make over correction more common. Out of...

    Aftermarket pistons for 800R?

    I put the drop in kit in last year. Nice looking pistons. I do believe they have milled some weight off compared to stock. As for installation I can't say there is any difference than a stock unit. And as for performance I can't support any increase claims but I am sure I did not lose any...

    Anyone run C&A Pro MTX skis?

    I have a 09 with standard width A-Arms and wonder how wide these skis will feel? 8" wide vs 6.9 Pilots....

    Too bad they don't make a 147 3"

    You're right I might be ordering the 156, but a 154+ doesn't fly like a 37 or 46. So I will still dream of the ability to get going quickly rather than spin for 45 ft trenching on the running boards.

    Too bad they don't make a 147 3"

    I see the good news for 154 guys getting a 156 3 inch this year. I'd take a 147 any day, I know there's way less short trackers out there but what gives? We like traction too.

    American vs Canadian pricing: is something finally happening?

    Which shop? I'm looking for some better service.

    Going from a quad to a RZR S....anyone have any regrets doing so??

    I can see going to a Commander just because it has the best "box" to put the 2 extra seats in. I'd rather it than a Teryx, Rhino, or Ranger and RZR's look pretty back heavy and silly with extra seats and cage. Anyone comment on the RZR extra seats? They look like the kids will sit above the...

    I love all these new videos out this year and tons of awesome tree riding!!!

    One thing sure stands out though. No yamahas lumbering about trying to go where the little 2 strokes go. They are like a fat girl smashing through a crowd. hahaha just had to have a laugh after watching some wicked vids.

    pulling a dead sled?

    I carry a couple cam buckle straps and a 6 footer of synthetic rope. Done this back in the day and recently on my 146 XP (doubling to boot). It's a short tunnel tow method but damn good for the steeper and deeper pulls. Fox floats are a savior for this also - Toms snowmobile Evol kit.
