    Check to make sure the paper clip is ground to the chassis.

    Jaret Announces 2022 Yamaha Snowmobile Launch Date!!

    *Yawn* Id love to see Japanese made sleds come back but that will never happen. We will probably see more sidewinder/viper colors with new power steering.

    2022 Ski Doo Mach Z

    Good to see some "competition" for the Sidewinder. Id love to see some 90's HP wars again from the manufactures.

    Battery Life

    I replace the battery every 2 or 3 years. No pull start and the fact that replacing the battery isn't exactly a trailside job its cheap insurance. I retire the Apex batterys to my sleds will pull starts.

    Attak Ice Scratcher Placement

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I am going to try the ski location using the BOP mount.

    Attak Ice Scratcher Placement

    Where is the best place to mount ice scratchers? 07 Attak. I was thinking about using the bolt hole right behind the front idler wheels but unless it throws snow straight up looks like it won't hit the coolers very well. Maybe I should consider a BOP ski mount kit? I do not have a rear cooler.

    Wide Open WI Powersports Show & Swap in West Bend WI!!

    Glad to see this show was successful. I know this was a Haydays "alternative" like the Eagle River show but I wouldn't mind it replacing the Milwaukee show like others have said.

    $2500 Viper. Good buy or stay away?

    Id have to look at the underside again. What turned me away the most originally was how much rust was on the skid. Must have been a open trailer sled.

    $2500 Viper. Good buy or stay away?

    I have the opportunity to buy a 14 Viper LTX with 10K for $2500. I told myself I wouldn't own a Viper after my neighbors experience with his 16 but this sounds like a deal I cannot refuse. I would say condition is below average even with 10K on it. Needs a small panel under the front bumper...

    Would you buy a retired Rental Sled?

    That Indy she rented burned a quart of oil on that days ride. $14!!! That's almost half the cost of my Yamaha oil change kit. Not saying the current Venture is any better but #*$&@. High mile riders (not her) probably spend hundreds on oil a season.

    Would you buy a retired Rental Sled?

    She currently rides a 98 Venture so anything will be a upgrade . We rented a 20 Indy 600 and she rode it the entire day for 230 miles. I told her the first 15 min of riding she will hate it and want to get off but she must continue to ride it. At the end if the day she loved it and said she fits...

    Would you buy a retired Rental Sled?

    Appearance is my #1 concern. I hate rust. I'd honestly rather buy a sled with 6K on it that looked brand new over one with 2K that looks like #*$&@. I am not very concerned with mechanical issues on 4strokes and any mentaince would likely be done again by me just because I'm anal. A local...

    Would you buy a retired Rental Sled?

    Girlfriend has been in the market for a EPS Vector but I just can't find the right one that is low miles and reasonably priced. She can almost buy a brand new sled from say Polaris for what people want for these things. Question is would you buy a Vector that was a rental sled? I found a few...

    2021 Release?

    At Haydays they had survey cards out asking people about colors. When I asked a Yamaha rep about 2021 he straight up told me they would be releasing a mid size sled. When I asked about a 2-Stroke he gave me a odd look and said why would anyone want to go back to a 2-stroke? My guess is a...
