2019 skidoo snowcheck

[jpmez69]

So who is snow checking one of these belt blowing, oil guzzling, crank eating POS this year?

I am! Can't wait! I'm like a giddy school girl waiting for monday!

 

[SUPERDUTY]

I think I am going waiting another year and stay on the XM till doo works the bugs out! Ditch the wobble clutch idea. I was at the dealer today and a guy was frustrated, he was on his 5th belt this year that adds up fast! But having that said I know alot of guys riding with very few issues... It just seems to more than normal with the 850.

Damn why did ya have to say that. Engine blew up today. 2350 miles/100 hours.

I see things haven't changed much for long term durability. I never had a rotax exceed 3,000km. Atleast under my use 2-3,000km i was on borrowed time.
I have seen plenty exceed that but mostly non aggressive meadow muffin rider's. After 10yrs of popping new motors in my doo's EVERY SEASON..no joke, i got a little tired of it.
Between that and clutches...F..k them.

Can't say much about Polaris, never owned one.

Yes i have seen that and have plenty of riding buddies that ride them. I just seem to blow them up.

Magic touch? Lol

 

[Lund]

Magic touch? Lol

Ya haha,
I'm not a bean pole, 6ft and easy 260+lbs and been sledding for 30+yrs, so the flipper gets molded to the bar all day long. I even avoid riding my wife sled, her last sled had nearly 6,000miles on it with zero engine or clutch issues. I'm sure i would have had to put a half a dozen motors in it if i was riding it. LOL

Probably gonna be flirting with 20g. No thank you... I’ll keep my problem free T3 for a couple more years and then pick one up a year old

 

[bobsledder]

I have towed four rock solid reliable yamis off the hill. They ain't cheap when they blow. Yesterday needed to remove a broken scratcher. No tools on the doo. Buddy on turbo nitro had a full socket set. Why is that?

 

[lilduke]

I really have no idea just how good those Sidewinders are, haven't seen one on the mountain all fawking season.

Guess I have to get above and out of them meadows...lol

Because that Nytro is 10 years old with 10,000 km and the cheap aftermarket stuff eventually has to be bolted back on.

We roam in areas off the beaten tracks you will just see a blue streak, we only slow down when we have a doo on a tow rope behind us.

 

[lilduke]

We roam in areas off the beaten you normally just see a blue streak, we only slow down when we have a doo on a tow rope behind us.

Oh, that must be why. I usually just stick to the groomed trail.

 

[canuck5]

Guess that explains why you put so many miles on haha

 

[lilduke]

Guess that explains why you put so many miles on haha

Haha yep. I'm sure they are great, just never see
Them. Someone come show me please. Cause
Doubt I'll snow check a new doo.... don't know
What to buy any more...

Sidewinders look a lot like the Nytro's did?

I was suppose to be sledding today but going to meet the local Cat manager here in town this afternoon, we trying to work out a deal on an 18 acsender for my next build project and NO its not to replace the SW, i ride with an Acsender and couple of G4 buddies, neither will hang with the SW for the type of riding we do, only in the THICK OF IT they do a little better and you don't need to be a scientist to figure that out.
Sleds are easy to buy, i see a poop load of new ones every time i go out. Mostly hanging out poking here and there, but never too far and thats OK. I would expect that non would come back on ropes unless they are well used and have mileage on them, like an older model.
Either way, we ride by a rule with the boys i ride with. We don't tow and i will never ask to be towed. Mostly because it is impossible to tow the sled out, untracked with too many chutes and big F'n climbs to get over to tow out. That's what chopper's are for, we pool the cost if it happen's.
Maybe why you don't see too many Winders around lilduke, go to Area51 and Keystone.
It ain't Blue Lake, Owlshead, Boulder or Frisby...bring spare undies, if you want to follow the Winders, LOL

51? Keystone?? Lol never ridden there before, where is that? That like riding boulder without the groomed trail.

I have way better spots then that haha.
