    Sidewinder starts in reverse??????

    It is shifting. You can hear it and you can feel it. It is not indicating correctly and throwing the SD 08 code. Before I put the cover on I made sure everything moved freely between reverse and forward. It is shifting and I could probably run it if I had to but there is no snow anyway. I am...

    Sidewinder starts in reverse??????

    Took stock 18 RTX chaincase apart to replace top gear. Which was toast. 3400 miles. Cleaned everything up and put back together. Reverse actuater installed correctly. Hooked up all the connections. Started up and got SD 08 code. Which is reverse abnormality. Tried shifting it in and out of...

    2021 Release?

    The basic sidewinder is the same as it has been for 5 model years. They have thrown some expensive shocks at it and have lowered it so it actually will turn a little bit with stock tuner skis. The only redeeming feature of the sidewinder is that you can make it produce a lot of horsepower -...

    2021 Release?

    Well that's it then. Back to Pol and simple chaincase design. Very few places a person can go 110 anyway. Bye.

    2021 Release?

    There is a child in the teaser. Their new sled will be the re branded one lunger. That and some BNG. I have five hundred cyber bucks on it. Hope I am wrong.

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Interesting that they want to know RPMs at different ranges of temps. I thought the ECM limited RPMs until a certain temp was reached. Apparently that is not the case. Not that had anything to do with your situation. Anyway Monday is the day for the big presentation. If they have redesigned...

    They are all junk. Pick your poison. They all break. You can buy heavy junk or you can buy light junk. If you like be responsible and invest your money wisely do not take up snowmobiling. If there was a way to kick yourself in the nuts and at the same time throw thousands of dollars to the four...

    Came out of gear

    In my experience with my 18 it is not the actuator. My actuator has never been out for any reason. After following this site and the many chaincase threads I really believe that the main root cause of all chaincase issues is an overtight chain. An overtight chain will make it harder for the...

    WinterWolf do recall if you used reverse on the day you had your trouble?

    Clutches: what is cool?

    Has anybody played with the secondary spring settings? Stock is 3. 3. If it was set stiffer would there be less slip? And therefore less heat? I am just talking stock here.

    2019/2020 Bogie Wheels

    Back in the old days we were told by people smarter than us that the more wheels you had in the suspension the slower you would go. Also never put in larger wheels. Every one is an energy sucker. They all create drag. There is a reason Yamaha went to a smaller diameter wheel for the first year...

    Turbo bolts

    If the stock ones go in with no issues the threads should be fine. Do the new ones have a little dab of locktight or some other stuff on the threads?

    Did they sell you the wrong bolts?

    Chain Tension Details

    I agree the finger tight then back off is kind of vague as everybody has a different definition and finger strength. Perhaps a better measurement would be how far should a person be able to turn the driven clutch before the track moves?Absolutely no play? 1/2 inch? 1 inch? Thoughts?

    Have stock 18 Winder. Is there a way to have boost displayed on the gauges of a stock sled?

    Which ski do people like better on Sidewinder, Cat Ski or Pilots?

    I tried Arctic Skis on my 129 last year. Never used the Tuners. Shimmed them about 3/16 so they tipped up. Tried many different combinations of carbide. Had to have a lot of ski pressure before I trusted them and even then did not feel confident carrying a lot of speed into corners. Would have...

    I predict that Dan will see the blue on blue LE at the show and put his money down. And order it without skis again.

    I like the Blue on Blue. It should have been on the SRX though. SRXs should be blue. Don't care for the black. It won't look that much different than the TCat.

    Who is running or has gone back to Tuner ski?

    They may or may not work on certain trails with certain carbide. BUT. They are a narrow ski. Not even 6 inches wide. They will never float in any kind of powder like a 6.9 or a mohawk. They are a flat bottomed ski and will follow previous tracks more often than a rocker type ski. Under certain...
