I got 750 miles on my 850 165 and love it! No belt issues but have rode with guys that have blown belts. On long pulls I can smell belt and have adjusted my secondary 3 times already. I stop often to cool the clutch off as well. Track does have a bit more vibration to it but not a big deal. The...
I love how guys trash the Thing can, but should really try it and then talk. Granted the fit and finish is bad on the outside, but all of the ones I had on the inside have been clean and smooth. Don't let those sharp angles fool you, that man sits and tries every single angle out, same with the...
Good review Birdie...I found it all very similar to what you said. I ride a 2015 163 T3. The Axys boards are awesome for sure!
I installed an Ez-ryde carve skid in mine this year....and all that more rider input and wash goes away. It takes a while to set it up and find the sweet spot...but if...
I rode a 155 Axys with the 3" a couple weeks ago, he only had about 150 miles on it. I thought overall the sled was great, the engine was a lot smoother and felt more powerful then the outgoing engine. I am not sure if it had the same top end pull like an E-tec (I have a 2015 T3 153 and 2015 SP...
Both my 15's leak and so did my 13 as well as my 12. I can actually see the difference in the tank shape after awhile. I put some reflective heat tope on and it seems to help.
I like dukes thinking. If no one is having issues with running the intake like Diamonds S has, just remove the factory airbox and keep the factory hood. Probaly lose a cheap and easy 5-8lbs by getting rid of that factory air box.
I run powder Pros on my T3 163. Real aggressive ski for deep snow, I have tried other brands on other peoples sleds and the powder pro floats and grabs the deep stuff real well. Cons are a bit heavier, maybe too aggressive for most people especially in heavier snow. The Pros are they are alot...
I have noticed that the track runs real tight in the tunnel too. I have about 185 miles on my 163 and the track is fraying more and just on the throttle side and just a couple on the brake side, which probably means it has a slight misalignment. I never got to aligning it yet. Fraying is not too...
I like my bag as well. Not a heck of a lot of room, but you can keep the things you are always needing to go into your back for. ie water bottles, sunglasses, toque and leaves the glove compartment open for goggles and gloves to stay warm and dry.
I love the monkey as well, that's awesome! I havent seen a all yellow T3 on here so I though i would post mine. Will put a wrap on soon thats why the green skid plate and bars are on. Yellow grips I removed, they were
crap.
I was just reading through this and had to give it some thought a bit. I agree that we will not probably tell the difference in the motion or feel, maybe a bit in spring snow or on hard pack. The rails do have to more slightly independently of each other in order to provide the "flex" action...
Shock looks longer. The shock mounting brackt on the lower a-arm is different. Looks liek the bracing and the back of the top a-arm is different as well. Hard to tell from that angle though.
On the T-motion skid lots of people have moved the rear arm back around 3/4" some have dropped the rear of the skid with drop brackets as well. Has anyone ever tried moving the whole skid back 3/4" or 1" to get a better approach angle?
I have been looking at it to see what...
