Every time I have purchased a new sled I have always wished I had bought the longer track. Whether it was going from 136 to 144 or 144 to 151 . I still have not learned because I have a 154 and wish I had bought the 163, maybe someday I will learn.

Stock clutching is horrible in the hills, get a good clutch kit( DJ or Roosterbuilt) and the alignment of the clutches is not so good even if you go to BRP specs. You can purchase a shim kit with new specs for about 65.00 from a guy on Dootalk, they call him revman. After these changes belts...

I have an 08 that had "teething troubles" the first season or so. Now that I have it figured out and know what to look for and what to change I am happy with it and would recommend a clean 08 to anybody if the price is fair. Have the clutches properly aligned, get a clutch kit( DJ or...

Check out Dynamo Joe on Dootalk, he has a link to his website from there. He also has videos on you tube that show ski doo clutch service. I am not sure if he has a video on the tra 3 on there but he has a lot of useful information on those clutches.

Yeah pretty much what he said. I rode mine for 3 seasons and it was a good mountain sled but on the trails she was a handful, those tall bars, no sway bar, 162 inch track made her less than ideal for running hard pack. The thing about the midrange lean spot on a carbed KK, all too true as I...

105 is all she will do as a result of power, gearing and rpm. Not sure if it has a rev limiter but I would think that the factory would put one in to limit warranty claims. Besides at 105 my grizz sounds about ready to go into meltdown any way. If you have bigger than stock tires and your speedo...

You are from Regina and you have 2500 miles on your mountain sled. I am jealous! I here ya about the excessive heat under the hood on these sleds. Mine has venting, shimmed secondary, tower brace, and a DJ clutch kit. All of these things will finally allow the belts to last for 800-900 miles no...

Who is giving you the best deal on your new bike?

That sounds like a nice bike, you should enjoy it. I have an R6 that is a blast to ride. Really though, there is still snow in the hills we should be sledding LOL.

I have often wondered what if we had to tow a dead sled out of one of our bowls that we love so much. We have tied three sleds together to pul up a fairly steep hill and it worked well. It got me thinking though, what if we removed the rear suspension and opened up the chain case and took the...

Same thing happened to my 08, but I had three that were broken. The two in the middle were possible to get at with a drill and an "easy out", but the lower clutch side was impossible to get at straight. Warranty would not cover so I wound up pulling the whole motor out to get at them. I found...

It is true that the bushings were bad in 07-08 primaries, some rollers were bad too. Replacing those is a good start. Some 08 sleds had motor mount issues that would not allow proper alignment. The pinweight was light on mine right out of the box. The o8 ramps were garbage, no squeeze at the...

I run the Doo 377 with a DJ clutch kit, the shim kit on the secondary and a secondary clutch tower brace. I got 800 miles on the first one getting it all figured out, and I have 700 miles on the second one with lots of adjustment left and she looks good to go at least a few hundred more. My...

With the warm weather and not much snow recently the conditions get icy in a lot of our areas. You might try the Hungry Creek forest road about 1-1.5 hours east. That area is in a snow belt and I think the logging roads and clear cuts are still good to go for sleds but any kind of elevation that...

What kind of riding do you want to do? There are some good logging roads and power lines out by Bear Lake. There is some good mountain riding at the Torpy. If you want to do road trip for some mountain riding you can go to the Barkerville/Wells area, the Pine Pass, or even to Mcbride, all within...

I have an 08 154 that is stock except a DJ clutch kit. In our group there is 4 older revs. I easily beat the stock 05-06 151 800's every time. The 06 159 with clutch work I also beat every time but not so easily. The 07 159 with a rider that is 50 lbs less than me is a roll of the dice to see...

Yeah that happened to my 08 at 1000 miles. I was having trouble with extremely erratic rpm on a long climb. Dealer said all was fine inside the clutch so I kept riding, two rides later it all came apart. I replaced all internal clutch parts and the sled ran like a champ again. I found out later...

I used to put my 05 King Cat in the box of my 94 ranger. It sat crooked, bent my Tailgate a little, and I got pulled over for an "unsecured load" once but it worked.

I have a love-hate relationship with my 08 154. It is the most fun sled I have ever ridden, soaks up the bumps and climbs well. On the other hand I have 1600 miles and have rebuilt the primary 3 times, the pull cord 2, lost one piston to a melt down, had my crank break in half, handle bar...

I ran DJ's kit on my 08 with stock 413 ramps and it was better then stock for sure. I switched to 415 ramps and liked it even more except that it would not fully shift out on the flats and over rev. I put in some 09 441 ramps and it would fully shift out but the "feel" of the throttle at low...
