Yamafest 2018

[Xmrider163]

Figured I’d make a section for everyone going to post up pics/vids and possibly make a large sidewinder group of everyone for a day.

I’ll be heading up April 4-8th with Brandon and a few others last trip of the season for me!

What chutes have not been climbed on a naturally aspirated sled?

I’d say none of them. I’ve seen NA sleds up 90, Sweeny, and monster. Seen videos of the angry pirate and the arm being climbed on an 860 REV.

Which ones you got yer eye on? I’ll bring the popcorn.

Maybe I can get an 850 clutching analysis too.

I was actually asking on your behalf but you seem to be confused about what chutes have been climbed by na.
I'll bring the popcorn.
850 advice for you? Sell that pos.

Love to be there, I would take a run at some of the chutes forsure, probably cause more damage than I can afford but it would be fun, I guess I will dream about it from Mexico. Sled is just gonna sit in the garage, maybe one of my buddies will bring it out for a rip on the you break it you buy it program ha ha.

 

[Xmrider163]

Haha that’s what this thread is for hopefully everyone going gets some nice pictures and videos.

This will be my first year going and so far we have a group of 3 sidewinders.

Would love to take you up on that Catman. Unfortunately I do not get home until the following weekend. We have to meet up for a ride. I would like to try out your sidewinder. See I want to check one.

Borrow Lund’s sled ?

 

[Lund]

Borrow Lund’s sled ?

He first has to take a bow to the Yama gods in great submission asking for forgiveness for riding a Doo and only then there might be a possibility.

 

[Woodsie1984]

Guess I’ll never get to try your sled then...lol...thought us 4 stroke guys stuck together ...lol

 

[Lund]

You are lucky, from what i heard 2 stroke rider's they burn at the stake. ..LOL

 

[Lund]

See, this is what happen's when you tempt the Yama god's.
These are all
EX Doo
EX Polaris
EX Cat rider's, all converts from just tempted to throw a leg over the mighty Yamy.

 

[Woodsie1984]

You will never get the doo laid out of My veins !

For rear skid set up, I have cr 163 with raptor shock in rear and fox air shock in front. Stiffen spring and clickers to stiffest setting then let air out of front shock on skid ? Would this be best for climbing?

Stiffen the center shock(front skid shock).
This allows for full track contact and even pressure on the rails. You might experience some wheelie at that point so set the rear spring up so your ski's carry about 4-6" above the snow. While hillclimbing the ski's should never touch the snow, your riding the track only and guiding the sled by the track.
If you have the rear spring set to the max and it still wheelie's with this setup then you will need to replace with a heavier springs.

What is CR about your skid?

 

[Woodsie1984]

Thanks Lund, I’ll try that set up out. I had my rear shock revalved last year for my weight, couldn’t keep front end down in the chutes but also didn’t try this set up.

How much HP you running?
You might need a scissor lock.

 

[Woodsie1984]

I don’t claim hp numbers...run bout 16-19 psi when climbing chutes...my guess be 270-300 hp range they claim.
