We made one trip with One of my riding buddies 2012 model with just under 200 miles before it burnt down. Was a stock machine with all the updates and recalls done to it. Seemed to be fuel burning and the engine kept cranking after key pulled out. Cat looked at here in central alberta and says...
I was out by Bear Beary and Burntstick lake today and snow was 6-8 inches in open areas and was +8 c. Snow in the trees was 1 ft to 2 ft. Was melting with the wind. Hopefully cools off and snows, is a good base.
There were times in the past where we broke trail into Ranger Creek and Onion lake and there was lots, the last few years. We didnt go because the snow conditions were not so good when we checked with the ranger out of rocky. Some new scenery and you have to know where you are going. We have...
I agree that education and comon sense are the key. I have been sledding for alot of years and there are always stand out moments where you see ignorance. Comon sense seems to be created from a combination of education, experience, caring, and fear. I try to make it a point to ask people...
I have been pulled over by one of the new sherif's in alberta an got a warning as well. They say 4' from the tail light a flag/reflector for daytime or a red light at night as well. It has been the law for hauling lumber or anything for ever that i can remember.:beer:
Happy New Year, Hey I have finally got my can, intake, the y pipe and boondocker box on. Was hoping you could forward me some setting that worked well if you still have a record of them. How is the new machine working, I am itching to get out, have only test ran it in the ditch by sylvan once.
my brother was there today, it was snowing. With the drifting it is hard to say for sure but you can see some stubble in the fields and the ditches have alot of drifting. Hope this helps.
you would have to be alot more specific about the conditions that the sled is running rough. ie. are you coasting? accelerating? does temperature affect it? Does it hapen after the clutch should have back shifted? is the machine efi or carburator? could be fuel pump, or a fuel line letting...
2 diferent guys that I have road with in the past have put 2500 plus miles on theres and the one guy had a wire dislodge and short to the exhaust at the ignition but no other problems. I have traded off with them and like the capability of the sleds so I bought one myself this year.
The David Thompson Grass drags are this weekend by west of Red Deer this weekend on oct. 3. Info on the David Thompson Snowriders - Home PageDavid Thompson Snowriders - Home Page web site. Usually a large showing with machines from all circles...:)
I got there about an hour late, got held up at work, saw the snow&mud poster by the door. Had a beer and asked the waittress if she new if anybody was there and she wasnt sure, she thought most were there for the game. Posibly a good idea to post some of the same posters off the side of some...
We were in golden on the weekend and hit silent pass on saturday, trail was good, we road out at dark and had groomed trail all the way from the bridge. Snow uptop was very good with only a few landmines. we had alot of fun, light snow with good visibility. Was about -15 uptop and -20 at the...
Sounds like you need a second opinion, I had a similar problem and between my chiropractor, an inversion table, and a workout routine with streching and weights i have not looked back. My doctor told me I would probably be in a wheel chair in ten years, but that was 15 years ago and I feel...
How's it going, my brother and I usually get out a couple times before xmas and every other weekend after january...can contact you when we are planning to go..:beer:
Tether or not, lefty throttles are dangerous. I dont put them on any of my sleds anymore, I have had a few close calls. When you are in trees or close to anything ch!t hapens fast and you can do damage long before you fall off or get thrown. A fellow I ride with wrote his dragon off last year...
I have owned and rode both the 2005 rt1000 and 2007 m1000 and with stock machines i would say the rt made better power, the cat felt a bit litter and manouverable to ride, the rt's 16" wide track floated better in some snow conditions, and the cat track hooked up better in some conditions. once...
