This is what cable scratchers have done to my rails and why I’ll never mount any type of scratchers to my rails again.

Yeah there’s quite some tension there lol. They work for now and do just fine, but when your riding and look down at them when they’re down, they do look like their a tad floppy so to speak. I think by shortening the aluminum sleeves by about 3/16” or so, there won’t be any play at all.

Nice! Zip tie! LOL I think for next year I’m going to take the aluminum sleeves and shorten them up a bit so the zip ties aren’t needed. I did put the zip ties on the outer side of the spring so that the spring nib that goes through the skid mount, goes through to the other side of it.

Ok thank you!

Was out yesterday and had no choice but to try out the brp scratchers. It was hard as a rock until about noon, and they worked awesome! Kept temps where they should be, provided good lube for the skid and the best part is, you don’t even have to get off the sled to unhook them or put them back...

Last time I rode in -35 I had my 2000 srx 700 windchill was -45. Family day weekend in emsdale on baylake. My brother and I didn’t last 2hrs. I won’t ride in that crap anymore unless I get caught in it. Actually, my hand warmers quit working....

I started in markdale this morning. Left the truck at 9am and got back at 5pm. Did just over 400kms on amazing trails. That time of year! went over to singhampton, collingwood, Owen sound, sauble, port Elgin, chepstow, mildmay, through Durham which was absolutely perfect and then back to markdale.

This is what I was afraid of hearing, do you know if they could possibly be programmed?

Co Conditions have been fantastic this year in the south. I’ve always wanted to try out the trails down in the dirty south LOL. Might have to wait another 5-10yrs now haha!

so everything should come back? Hrs? Trip? ODO?

I figured I would post it here because it can apply to the winder or viper. I have an irritating line going through the left side of the screen on my viper, basically cuts off half of my temperature readout. My question is, if I bought a new display gauge would the dealer or anyone be able to...

That would be a long day forsure!

we started at the valley inn and went south. This was our route. It was incredible crossing over to manitoulin island. Flat as can be, bluebird day, and the views were awesome! Love riding in Sudbury area when there’s a good amount of snow. Mattawa is another favourite.

Mid week and good conditions definitely are key factors in putting on the bigger miles/kms.

8200kms on mine and it still looks awesome. Definitely thinking about 1.5 ripsaw ll for next year.

we did or 480kms in about 11hrs if I remember correctly. Left at 7:30am, lunch stop with a few too many stops along the way, and I think we got back to the truck around 6:30. Then we drove home right after....4hrs in the truck sucked!

How long did that take you? We did 480kms in Sudbury last year, but had a couple guys with us that were pretty slow and always felt the need to stop for smoke breaks...

I’m also thinking about a bigger lug track for next year. Even on a viper the track just spins in loose snow, I’d like it to get more traction on the heavier snow days. If I do, it’ll probably be a 1.5” ripsaw ll. Good tracks, but the 1.25” just doesn’t have enough bite

What’s the longest day trip you guys have done? Miles or kms, however you put it. When did you start and when did you finish? My buddies and I usually ride long days over 400kms. Our longest day was 480kms, but were thinking we’d like to do 600kms. Anyone else like putting in long days?

I just did mine tonight, was surprised to see a China bearing behind the brake rotor. Are they China bearings in all model years? I have an 18’ viper. bearing behind secondary is a Japan bearing which is nice to see. I just used standard chevron grease. It’s all I had LOL
