Mobile1 is actually an extremely good oil. I have used it for years in my Euro Audi's and Mercedes vehicles. I used to do used oil analysis on them, but because of the extremely low wear metals using Mobile1 0-40, I quit doing it a while back. The 0-40 FS which I use in my cars, does shear to a...

Thanks for posting this Troy, I figured you should be the one to tell the guys here at TY. Like you, I was totally taken back to get that call, even though I know that none of us get to live forever, it is stunning to get the call that one of your friends has passed that you had just spoken...

No, its narrower by quite a bit. Wouldn't be so bad, but the twin cylinder four-strokes sound sooooo bad. My old 1100 turbo was fast once tuned, but sounded horrible and was not much fun to ride, but that could be the fact the other problems they had in the chassis department with handling, ride...

I read an article somewhere that Cat hired the engineer that invented the vespels at Yamaha and he improved them with Cats new offerings. I don't remember why they would be better however, but there was more than one thing that made the newest cat ones better. I'll do some digging and see if I...

Agreed. I don't mess with those dealers that want to add anything myself. The prices I've seen and spoke about have no freight, setup or hidden charges posted right in the add. The market right now certainly appears to be flooded, and IMO this will continue into the next couple of seasons with...

Long drive for ya! Big Bend WI. https://www.roadtrackandtrail.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=15160536&p=1&s=(Sort%20By)&d=D&vt=snowmobile&fr=xPreOwnedInventory

Either I guess. Could it be the clutch rattle at 4-5000 RPM perhaps? Or like others have said, the ROV also makes a pulsing sound at idle, I don't know if it does this while riding however. I always bypass them so don't know that answer.

Then you like getting absolutely pounded with that old leaf spring suspension while riding soooo slooowww, but then again you like those old Apexs too, so no surprise there I guess..... They already are. Thats why I say there are plenty of deals out there right now. Saw a 24 Thundercat sell...

However, the days of full MSRP priced sleds is behind us again with the poor winter we are coming off from. I see all kinds of new machines for less then used sleds were going for just a year or two ago. Lots of good deals out there right now on new or low mile Winders and Cats. Same for Poo's...

Turbo

CATS history was they liked to build world beaters however..... I think you'll see them back to their roots here in a few years with some sales and stability. Hopeful they can right the ship and continue using newer technology and perhaps even stick with Yamaha engines. Kymco built and in-house...

One thing worth noting, when using gear oil, it will be "stinky gear oil" when it vents after a higher speed usage. I used to use gear oil but it smells so bad if your like to run slightly higher speeds. For light trail riding you may never smell it however. I like the Blue Polaris syntethic...

At 221 lbs for just 155HP that thing is an overweight tank! Weighs far more than the old four cylinder Apex with cushioned under driven PTO output shaft. I highly doubt that engine will ever see duty in a snowmobile. I know I would never ever want a twin cylinder four-stroke after owning the...

Wouldn't that be the hot ticket!

Interesting, didn't know that. The ones I have are actually genuine Honda I bought for my Honda Rincon many-many years ago. I see the same ones used on the plastics of my Daughters CRV too under the hood and on the plastics of my Honda Pioneer 1000. I've actually seen them used on different...

Would sure like to see the 998 live on, lets hope that Cat puts it in a modified wide body Catalyst and continues with the EPS for us older generation that needs it too! Haven't heard anything about it being put into the new chassis however.

Do a search for 8mm Honda push pins. They are all the same wether Suzuki, Honda, Polaris. Our ATV's plastics are held together with them, should be fine on the lower Sidewinder panels easily enough. As for drill size, just measure the plastic rivet at the base and go just a smidge smaller is...

I had all the riv-nuts and screw hardware ready to go on the new sled, but I decided to use the Honda plastic push pins on my new 23 instead of the riv-nuts. I used the riv-nuts on my 17 but decided to change it up on the 23 and had a bag of Honda push pins kicking around on the bench for some...

Which is not a problem. I intentionally run different length studs on singles vs double backers, which I also run different sizes intentionally on also. Just saying.... It is good to trim the quiet lugs down so the stud bottoms on the shoulder where it supposed to tighten down on the backer for...

No, not going to work being an inch smaller.
