Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

The sled so far is amazing, the power is smooth with what feels a lot of tourque in the 3/4 to full throttle position. i can pull it over on a down hill slope and head back up the hill ( never been able to do that on my rev !!!!)

pulls ch!t hooks pretty easy and it is amazing what you can stop on and keep going, there was a couple times today i stopped on stuff that i never should have stopped on and with a couple pushes with the foot and some real throttle work it popped right out.

i am on my first tank of gas with zero problems and no throttle response issues, the fuel and oil consumption is excellent.
i smoked two hidden trees ( one that bucked me off so hard that i came out of the bush before my sled ) no damage and skis are still straight.

I am 170 pounds and with the stock suspension setup i have had it bottom out a couple times, i don't know if i will adjust that yet.

to sum it up..... for my weight and height that is absolutely the best sled for me ( i have been die-hard skidoo for years ) and if i need more power i heard that the turboed machines have been holding up great .... that is why i got the 163


cheers

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

Sorry if I missed it but what are you on now? I am thinking from 163 and your comments it's a Pro RMK but just want to be sure Totally Jealous that your riding and I'm sitting in front of my computer, play safe.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

wellll....its deep....nut deep. It was so hard to see we could not even make alberta hill today. I could not recognize any of the trees. Rode with a couple guys from sask and they will tell you the same...made it to wally world....

I would say an easy 10ft now plus. I was on 10lbs boost all day at 3 quaters throttle. It rained and snowed hard all day from the cabin up....whomever gets back first tomorrow is in for a real deep treat....race ya!!

No issues about rocks, stumps ect...but sled smart, lotsa hidden corrnices ect....went over the handle bars a couple times.....

See ya on the hill!!
