I put together a short video from our riding trip last week up in Kokadjo, Maine. Enjoy!

This is my argument. When it reads 1.750 this means the total length of the stud so in reality they're recommending the 1.325 which is length installed (confusing at first yes) so technically I have the "right studs" yet I'll be sticking up approx 1/2" from my lugs

nothing?

I'm studding my 2011 FX Nytro XTX 15 x 144" track with 1.250 lugs. When going on the Woody's, Studboy etc. websites they recommend 1.750 studs. In the diagrams provided they illustrate the measurement from tip of stud to tip of lug to be approx. 3/8" yet I've noticed it's more like 7/16" - 1/2"...

Snowmaaan, this is Carl Petron from New England. Looking at purchasing an SR Viper and the Mountain Performance turbo kits sounds like they're not coming anytime soon. To be honest, I've never heard of Push Turbo. Gary's Yamaha up in Caribou, ME. was talking about it. Do you own the company...

Has anyone installed or know of anyone having the Push Turbo kit installed? Thoughts? Opinions?

I'm not sure about this whole side x side sled thing personally. It's kinda like the Segway - good concept but I don't see it working in reality.

It'll be great to hear from dealers out there and get their vibe on this topic. I speak with quite a few dealers that seem to have the same comments with regards to manufacturers constantly uping the requirements on stock. Many (many) years ago when I use to work retail I must admit, you...

I always purchased something when I'd visit. Primarily because I always wanted to stay topped up with fluids or parts. Occasionally with my purchase they'd give me a cap, shirt, keychain or stickers. You may say that's peanuts but it was always appreciated because they'd always give me a helluva...

My local Yamaha dealer, C&E Yamaha here in Foxboro MA. has decided to close their doors. After decades in business the owner decided it's time to retire. With business being slow he decided it's time. I'm happy for him in that he'll finally get the opportunity to retire and enjoy himself. It...

I even use it on my diesel tractor. The stuff is amazing.

$60ea is a decent price. I believe one can buy them for approx $150 - $170 (pair) so you're saving some cash. Either way if I was in the market I would purchase for $120 (pair) Good luck

.....oh yeah, and the very best part of this vid happens at the end hahahahahaha

We had a fricken blast!! Our great friend Rene is 76 years old. He's lived more in half his life than most will their entre life. It was great riding with him. Rene has a remote camp and the great times we've had there are priceless. Tried to cut trail but didn't make it.

Our latest trip up in northern Maine. Had a blast, tried to cut a trail to visit a dear friends remote camp, enjoy the vid! Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/90475619
