    Sidewinder Year to Year Performance

    I’ve always thought the combo of loose chain and small 21T can cause that, or seemed like it caused that on mine! Way back when my 2017 was on its first season and that occurred. When brought to the attention of my dealer, he knew of that problem from the Viper which also used that 21T. I was...

    Sidewinder Year to Year Performance

    Never been a fan of the 21T. That small circumference gear allows chain to rub on internal gear case, whereas the 22T does not.

    Sidewinder Year to Year Performance

    "That's good to hear", Ha Ha, pun intended from one that has hearing tone degradation, which can make background noise, (much like the track noise were talking about), seem louder then other more prominent noises happening at the same time! The prior track that I tried on my Winder was a...

    Sidewinder Year to Year Performance

    Didn't realize the difference between the stock Ripll and the aftermarket one. Yes I have noticed how that stock style Ripll stretches a lot, but what I do like about it, although it's a pain to stud, is how QUIET it really is when compared to other tracks that I have tried! I don't like a howl...

    New track offering, 1.3 Arrowhead

    Yes, the fact that this track is a 2 ply, will help sell it to the Higher power sled guys!

    New track offering, 1.3 Arrowhead

    Ive seen the Ice Attack xt last for years on an Apex, but not so on my 2017 Winder when I installed one back in 2018. It threw many lugs on it's first season, and as I remember, it was a loud track! Also found that in corners, that track with it's straight side lugs caused the sled to roll...

    Highest Speeds on Sidewinder/Thundercat

    Sure thing Fleecer. Always enjoy the County rides in late March when many have called it quits, and the trails are a bit icy because of the warmer days, and still very cold nights which make for what I call, bullet proof trails! I only got 8 rides in this year trailering an hour or so from...

    Yes I may need a new set of reading glasses! Old 2 stroke days, calling mufflers cans!

    Highest Speeds on Sidewinder/Thundercat

    Yep, that's cranking WOT for an extended period, and takes some shut down time at that speed. I'm very envious of both, having a spot to do that at and having a set up that will do that! Didn't get a chance to make it to the county this year because of the super short season we got dealt with...

    Intermittent starting issues on 2017 Winder

    The reason I am asking questions pertaining to hard start issues is, I’ve been there twice with a really great dealership under warranty, and they took care of it twice, but really was no specific determination as to why it did what it did! In case this helps anyone, I’ll quickly write about my...

    Intermittent starting issues on 2017 Winder

    OK thanks for that bit of info! I looked online and it had said $128 for Quantaty 3, but once I added item for Checkout, it was X 3 ! So again thanks for your input and catching my Mistake on pricing. Well worth looking in to a business that cleans & flow tests, instead of simply buying NEW...

    Intermittent starting issues on 2017 Winder

    Is this a new problem, or has it always done this?

    Intermittent starting issues on 2017 Winder

    So are we saying it’s just as cost effective to buy new? I know you have talked about having injectors cleaned & tested, so That’s why I’m asking! Thanks for your many insights on the 998 Turboflash!

    Intermittent starting issues on 2017 Winder

    I've heard about removing the injectors for proper cleaning and testing. So may I ask What is the nominal price for cleaning and testing a set of 3, 998 Fuel Injectors? Just now, a one time search for new shows $128 for a set of 3 injectors, and each O ring is $19 !

    Snotracker Installation Curve Ski

    I didn’t realize you could buy components that make up the SnoTracker separately! That’s good to know. I just will not have a sled that darts, never ever, but have now been on Dually set ups since they first came out sometime in the early 2000 era, on all of the family sleds. So I’ve gotten use...

    Snotracker Installation Curve Ski

    Thanks for your input on the SnowTrackers. 20,000 miles on one set is impressive whereas I only get 4K or so on the SJ’s, and also needed to come up with trailer protection for both the aluminum ramp edge, and door hinge step with the SJ’s, but would have to upgrade that for the extra metal...

    Snotracker Installation Curve Ski

    Have had a set of Curve XS skis on my 17 LTX-LE since almost new. Have been using Slim Jim duals on them, first the 6” set and found them to be too much for my 144 studs up the middle, and caused heavy steering. Now on my second set of 4” SJ with much lighter steering and 0 darting, and have...

    Full Season Review of Camso Storm 150 Track on SideWinder's

    There's a whole post regarding MS 16 from a few years ago, but here's my set ups! I've run both the 2 bar and 3 bar tunes with these set ups. Stock weights with 1.5 grams added to tip weight with a steel washer adding 1.5 grams to the already 4.5 rivet! Had to grind that rivet down once or...

    Well, unlike Deer eyes which shine RED at night and are the first thing you see of that deer, moose eyes do not do that. Reflect? OK, I wasn't aware and I've seen many at night while on sleds, both deer and moose. But yeah, moose end up coming thru car windshields a lot when run into, whereas...
