    HELP!! Sidewinder btx

    If it is overfilled it will suck the excess through the intake. Won't hurt anything but you appear to be overfilled. On mine cold is below the low Mark on the tube. Once warmed up it gets above the low Mark a little. Take a little out if it makes you feel better. If you just leave it alone it...

    Thinking about..........jumping ship

    He is correct. They are also lighter. Have seen the same thing in NW Wisc tight trails.We have gone out with our new stuff of various brands and get caught up to and passed by early 2000 XCXPs and ZRs. If you pour on the coals to try to keep up you will be able to keep up for awhile but you will...

    Sneak Peak of New Sleds

    Hooking up has a lot to do with weight transfer. Just on this site people have been trying to get the 137 to transfer for 3 seasons with little success. It is my own theory that the whole ' bridging the bumps better with a longer track' is a bunch of crap too. There is only about 3 more inches...

    New track Chatter on SRX

    Rather than taking everything apart and take a chance on screwing up the drivers trying to press them one way or another does it make sense to machine just a little bit off the drivers so they line up better. Like with a Dremel or something like that. That is what is happening anyway. You are...

    Skis

    17Viper xtx - I never ran the Tuners. Played with AC skis all last year and never got to where I was fully confident in them. Went with Mohawks after reading many threads all summer. It was either them or Curves and I went with the Mohawks just because some were have heavy steering issues with...

    RTX SE suspension setup

    The same thing happened to mine when I went to the third hole on the limiter straps. All transfer gone. I put it back to the two hole and am kind of working backwards from there to make it turn. The rear suspension front spring adjustment seems to be the most critical of all. Maybe a person...

    RTX SE suspension setup

    I believe Rockerdan has the same skis and sled as you. I believe at one time he increased the spring preload on the front suspension shock. It sounds like you have a different spring in there though. I have the opposite problem on my RTX. I am decreasing the spring pressure just a little at a...

    RTX SE suspension setup

    The RTX skid is an entirely different animal than the LTX skid.

    An interesting measurement.

    Could it be that aftermarket carbides work better than stock carbides just because they have a thicker/deeper profile? Triple points, Shapers, even bird watching semi-agressive Snowtrackers measure deeper than stock.

    An interesting measurement.

    There are many posts about shimming skis. I have shimmed skis for years on my assorted sleds and there is definitely a positive difference. Now I am wondering if anybody has ever experimented with shimming the carbides themselves? As in inserting a piece of flat stock between the ski and...

    An interesting measurement.

    Just got done 50 miles groomed ditch. Stock suspension settings. With AC skis single 8 inch carbide at 80 mph I could row the skis right and left and they would not bite at all. With the Mohawks with 60 degree single carbide it will bite enough to go from one side of the trail to the other. It...

    An interesting measurement.

    OK good to know. Thank you. Going out this afternoon to see how the Mohawks work.

    An interesting measurement.

    Have always shimmed the Cat skis. Like you say - hard to get them mounted means you are doing it right. Wear is even front to back. Tried same carbide set up they use on the Thundercat. Pushed. Tried semi-aggressive Snow Trackers. Pushed. Probably should have bought full aggressive. Tried all...

    An interesting measurement.

    Many have said that the 'Doo skis either 5.3 or 6.9 configuration just 'flat out work' on the ProCross chassis. So am I to conclude that a 'rocker' style ski will do more for all around steering than any configuration of a flat bottomed ski on the Sidewinder?

    An interesting measurement.

    I have an 18 129 LE 50 anniversary edition. Like many on this site I have been experimenting with skis. I never used the original Tuners at all as they are simply too narrow to even bother with. I have run AC for years and have a bunch of AC skis. So last season I tried many different...

    Do you have room to get to 58 without any machining?

    Newbie Sidewinder must haves

    Get the BOP belt adjuster and their belt guard for the bottom of the pan underneath the clutch. One stop shopping. After that the sky is the limit.
