    Season end near-Going to say officially, Winder best sled ever!

    Congrats, I hope I can get there. I truly love the winder when it is running right. I just have had something go wrong almost every weekend I had it out this year. It has been something different every time so I am hopeful I will get it there but it isn't encouraging when basic things like...

    Ripsaw II 1.5 with run quiet bumps?

    Trashed the 1.25" Rip II on my sled last weekend, currently looking at the 1.5 with 192 or 240 studs next. Biggest thing is going to be track life after only getting 3500miles out of the 1.25" rip II. How do you have yours set up?

    Ripsaw II 1.5 with run quiet bumps?

    Does anyone know if the Rip II is available with 2-play, 1.5in lug and the run quiet bumps? I can't find anything that calls the run quiet bumps out specifically.

    JT Big wheel kit?

    I still have the aluminum retainer and nut. The bolt itself broke in half and everything behind is trashed, including the guides that the axle rested on.

    JT Big wheel kit?

    This weekend my yamaha 4th wheel kit came loose taking the right hand side track tensioner and center axle out with it. I was able to jury rig a fix to limp the sled home but need to replace pretty much the entire right hand side of the assembly. I am thinking about just going to the JT wheel...

    New '22 gets POWER STEERING!

    You can see on the hood it has LTX marked on that sled. I think that is an LTX sidewinder he showed.

    Gates redline belt

    I was reving about 100rpm higher but was running in much colder weather so the motor was probably just making more power.

    Gates redline belt

    I ran it this past weekend and found it so far to be more consistent than the stock 8jp. But I only have 500 miles on it so far.

    Lots of testing and believe we have the offset nailed down

    I am going to be putting another few hundred miles on this weekend as well. I am swapping belts right away at the beginning of the weekend though. We will see if I can get the red-line to not slip/wear so badly. Will report on what she looks like after a hard weekend of corner to corner blasts.

    Sidewinders and Mr. Sled are both awesome!

    Finally got my 2018 out for a full weekend and had my first (mostly) trouble free trip thanks to some (ok, maybe more than just some) help from Mr. Sled rebuilding it. Previously I had coolant leaks, continuously blown belts and studs breaking off which all killed trips. The biggest issue all...

    Lots of testing and believe we have the offset nailed down

    I am another one of the ones with a former belt blower. At 59mm offset I could blow a belt in 1/2 mile every time. After setting to ~57.8mm offset the sled did 3 back to back 1 mile pulls at the end of the weekend without blowing the belt (Clutches were definitely hot at the end of that...

    Does anyone know where in centeral WI I can get a clutch puller by tomorrow?

    I am in Wausau right now, our trip is next week. If I can't get the clutches/studs/coolant leak/exhaust leak (Just found this one ) fixed I am going to leave the winder in the garage and ride the Poo of shame.

    See title. Have a trip next week and moved the stub shaft blowing a belt.

    63mm offset without spacers??

    It wouldn't surprise me, the second belt I blew was WOT @ 8900RPM and ~115mph. I don't even want to know how hard the primary slammed shut before the rev limiters kicked in. (I did let off the throttle immediately after the loud bang the belt made blowing)

    63mm offset without spacers??

    Well, I guess is there anyone in the central Wisconsin area with a clutch puller they would be willing to sell/rent/loan out? Doesn't look like anyone is open that sells one tomorrow.

    63mm offset without spacers??

    I have blown 2 belts in the 500 miles I have had the sled. When I bought it, I set offset to 58 or 59mm, I don't remember which. Now after the 500 miles and 2 belts I am measuring a 64.2mm offset, after removing the circlip I am only at 63mm offset. Checking with a mirror the bolts behind the...
