I was going to get the new tiger slides, but I found the Yamaha vespel at the Big East sled show last fall for $125 for the pair. Smoking deal for these days.

Turbo Wankel!!

150, holy crap! I've seen those #'s in a couple cars and on one bike, can't imagine the cash spent on such a specialized machine. I'd love to squeeze the trigger on that thing just once. Hats off.

Durometer?

When they say 75% the studs are are angled forward, does that mean they are pointing forward when on the ground providing more studs for braking? Or the other way around?

Hot day, in the pool with beers on ice. Get out of the pool, walk over to the trailer, open the door, inhale the smell of gas, oil, plastics and rubber. Turn the key on, see the dash light up, hear the fuel pump whirl, hit the button and the engine fires...ah...the smell...ah...the sound. Give...

I just haven't been on a long enough lake with good surface to hold it open till she is fully wound out. I've on some long straight awesome trails but chicken out after 115(some left in it) thinking of deer/moose popping out.

At least change the oil, keep the filter. Oil may have some moisture in it.

At the end of last season I put a hd top gear in and the brass fork pads, nothing wrong with the stuff I took out at 4,000 miles....except the gear bushing wasn't drilled to match the oil hole in the gear...still wasn't worn much.

My stock bar broke on my 22 Tcat with EPS, so taking it out was no problem. Putting in a new stock bar was a challenge, I ended up bending open the holes where the bar mounts, still a struggle.

Wasn't a big deal really, I took the link and the short broken piece off and rode a couple of hundred miles to finish my trip. I did the front shocks to firm and my pace wasn't off by much if at all.

I snapped one one my Tcat last year, I don't pound on the moguls, I was just running around a tight right hander and SNAP. Machine had about 3,700 miles on it.

Have you tried installing one on an EPS winder?

Just an fyi, I had to put a bar in my Tcat with EPS at the end of last season, the eps motor gets in the way when snaking the bar through the body, had to open up the holes where it mounts a bit, not a big deal but not as easy as non eps models.

I think it's been said that the larger gear is easier on the bushing. I changed the stock 24t with a DMC 24t at 4,000 miles but the bushing wasn't bad at all.
