    Sled sales/production down

    Although this is for BRP, could be one of the reasons Yamaha are getting out while they can. The writing is on the walls. https://www.castanet.net/news/Business/479295/Mild-winter-wreaks-havoc-on-BRP-snowmobile-sales-as-Ski-Doo-maker-cuts-production

    FS: Updated oil pipe for Phazer/VL/MP

    Just found in my stash of parts an updated oil pipe for the reverse gear. However, the seal with it is the old short version. Sell both for half the price of the pipe at $20CAD. Willing to ship at your cost Canada/US. Apparently they are hard to get these days.

    Late model RS opinions

    Thinking of getting a later model RS Venture GT or TF with power steering for my wife. She likes the ride of my '10 GT but ever since her dislocated shoulder has a hard time steering. And I'd also like it. The plan is that I keep the '10 as a secondary sled and when my wife rides the "new"...

    RS Venture GT Quiet and Comfort clutch results

    Just installed the Schmidt Brothers Comfort and Quiet clutch kit. Did a comparison video and although it doesn't sound like it changed much, I think the frequency of the noise has changed and the covers do a better job at muffling them. And my roller bolts had so much slop I had to use the...

    Jacket riding up my back

    Anybody else have this problem? No matter which jacket I wear, it rides up my back and my back gets cold. Every so often, I have to stop, stand up and do the "Picard tug". Even though I wear a full bib, my back gets cold. I'm a big guy, 320 lbs, 6'2" and the new FXR jacket I'm currently...

    When do spring discounts start (Canada)

    Looking to trade mine in for a 2020 RS Venture TF but don't want to pay full price (who does?) and thinking of trying to find a leftover. When do discounts typically start? Also don't know how it works if there are no local dealers if they will transport it to my dealer or I have to travel to...

    Fix hole in bottom of fuel tank?

    My season is going from bad to worse. In an attempt to remove the tunnel protectors because they're rubbing on my 1.5" non-studded track, while drilling out a rivet from the bottom, the drill caught and went into the gas tank. Can the tank be fixed by using a soldering gun and melting some...

    RS Venture GT losing coolant

    Related to RS Venture GT takes forever to warm up, now I find myself losing coolant. To recap, it had low coolant with no obvious leak, replaced the thermostat, refilled and it idles fine and gets up to temp and pressure. I also installed a temp gauge and bled the system of air (had it...

    Sold my baby today :-(

    Well, it had to happen, sold my MP today after 11 years and 16k km of faithful service. Yeah, it wasn't perfect and had its quirks but I still loved that sled. She's going to pasture of sorts, going from high KM trail riding to being a sugar bush workhorse. Goodbye old friend. You will be...

    Rotor play and shims

    On my '10 RS Venture GT, just put the chaincase back together for a track change. With the rotor on, I've got about 2-3mm of side play of the rotor on the shaft. I've got just one washer or shim between the circlip and rotor. The repair manual shows one shim and washer and the parts fiche...

    RS Venture GT takes forever to warm up

    On a 2010 fuel injected, this morning, started it to get it out of the trailer and park it in the yard, it took almost 20 minutes for the warmup temp light to go out. Take it out and within a couple of minutes, the hot engine light comes on. Rode it around the yard a bit to get some snow in...

    Anybody know if there is any aftermarket outer tie rod for these sleds? Looked at Kimpex, nada.

    Homemade trailer tongue lock

    Saw this while YT surfing and thought it's a good design that would be difficult to defeat. Just watch for the quality of the puck locks as some (like Masterlock) are junk. Welding skills required.

    e-sled

    OK, 40 km range doesn't sound like much but for their use, it works well. Cool that the tech is starting to get there.

    Difference between 8GS and 8GK belts (Reverse Update)

    Some have asked what the difference is between these two belts. The 8GS was the original belt used with 07 and 08 Venture Lite/MP and Phazers. The 8GK is the updated belt used on 09+ as well as those earlier sleds that were updated with a shim in the secondary. The first pic is with both...
