I just bought a 2017 sidewinder and it has the aftermarket exhaust and cold air intake. I was wondering what horsepower makes with these modifications? Thanks

Lol I told dean to tell you what kinda hp you have. But go to Cr racing’s website. Assuming it’s a Cr racing exhaust. They have a resonator or a straight pipe . Which one do you have.

I Believe it’s CR racing. I know you told me the horsepower but the only reason I posted it was I didn’t think you had the cold air intake and I thought that gave it more horsepower?

The Cr straight pipe gives 20hp and 10ft/lbs
Torque

The Cr intake drops 1lb off the sled and just lets it breathe easier. Stock intake prone to blocking up with snow.

You’ll have to come out on a trip with me and stuckey this season and we can put the two sleds side by side

What other stuff did you do to your side winder and did you change the clutching when you put on straight pipe?

Have a read on this thread. Great info about clutching . Personally I did change the weights to Heavier ones . 73g each loaded. I can get you the part numbers if you’d like .

Also with those weights I changed the secondary spring setting to 3-3 60 degrees

Part number for the weights is

#8LR-17605-00


And the rivets you need are

#90261-06033 steel 4.5g.

You’ll need 3 per weight. Once you put them in the weight should be 73g

Sure if you have the part numbers that would be great thanks
Just an FYI. the weights/ramps are cheaper to order online from the states than they are from the dealers in Canada if you are going new.

Your rpm should be right around 8750 when climbing . With those weights they are a big more aggressive then the factory ones .
The sled comes on a lot harder almost feels like you’ve added boost.

Will also drop your engagement from 4100 to 3100 .

I found it made a huge improvement for me !

I bought the sled from a shop so I don't know for what he's done for primary clutch weight, so I'm going to wait till the first trip and see how it's pulling. Unless I get ambitious and pull the weights out and have a look.

Paul and I tested several styles of weights in his custom 174 and found that the Magnet weights from SSI pulled the hardest.
