Our annual trip to the open house event was excellent this year. The weather was slightly colder than forecasted but our 9 yr old daughter was with us the whole time and enjoyed herself. My wife got herself a brand new ZR 3000. The 4stroke torque was very well received in the hilly terrain up...

At 160 km's, light's on, every time. Except once last year, I got 185 only because my wife's sled was in break in mode. Most riding was done at 50 km/h

The following was done and cured 95% of darting, wondering and Yamaslop symptoms on a groomed trail. - Yamaha OEM bearing "fix" part# SMA-BEARI-NG-KT - All A arm bushings replaced with Oilite parts - Ski bolt bushings and collars replaced - Steering block replaced with a billet part with Oilite...

CarQuest AGM motorsports battery. Got 7 seasons out of the last one. Catch them on sale for $65.00 in the Sept. to Nov. months.

If you take them to a machine shop, they can press them straight again. I fixed a few rods this way.

I installed the Yamaslop factory upgrade. It seems to have taken out about 50% of the play. Passing the bolt through one of them was a major PITA, not something I'd do again. The golden rule of striking the outer race of a bearing to seat it does NOT apply to the above pictured OEM kit. I...

Maybe on the free family wknd

Go to QC before anything else. When we went, a local said it was one of the worst seasons he's ever seen(mid March). I was blown away by his comment since Ont. trails have been closed for over a month. It was spectacular up there.

My first QC riding was done in Thetford Mines. Small loops or big ones it your choice. Lots of snow, open terrain, rolling hills and scenery. Most hotels have trail access or very close to them. It's right in between Montreal and Quebec City. And to our surprise many are english speaking...

After years of buying passes, 3 lousy seasons in a row and total disatiffaction with the above mentioned. I can't get over the fact that OFSC passes can be only purchased online now versus buying at a local club or vendor. Forced to pay a handling fee on top of an overpriced pass is ridiculous...

Good catch! I'd hate to give the impression to others that ON trails are better maintained than QC's

I'm wondering if he's asking about a marine grade grease to lube the outboard pivot zerks. I use Mystic low temp Syn. grease on the skid and to repack any snowmobile bearing.

Motomaster 75W90 full synthetic GL-5 spec is what I'm using. I also use it for the rear diff's and front hubs of my Semi.

Our insurance company told me that they don't insure Yamaha 4 strokes because of their high replacement value, not performance. They insured mine since we have everything else insured with the same company. 2010 Phazer is costing $108 this year. 2 Mil PLPD and $300 deductible comp coverage. No...

A buddy and I have been talking about sledding in the Appalachian area of QC for years. We finally got the chance and took it. 16 inches of snow dropped a few days prior. The conditions and trails were absolutely amazing. It was our first time ever riding outside the OFSC. The trail system and...
