    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    It works better than the Venture EPS. My Venture EPS doesn't like the cold - takes a while to get working on days below -20c. The new one has been flawless (except one code the second time out - solved by a restart), and is lighter at slow speeds. Very happy with it. I know it's good to let the...

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    No, we were on the B103/B104 north of Fenelon Falls and up towards Haliburton. Does this mean there was another S-TX out there? :)

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    Yup, frustrating for sure. I could be wrong, but I haven't heard anyone on the site from Canada say they have recieved their LT-X GT. On the trails, I have seen a bunch of '22 SRXs, but no LT-X GTs. I'm opting for converting to a '23 order, but will get a backup sled. Right now if my wife or...

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    March 10th. Yamaha called me in late summer to verify my orders, told me late Dec / early Jan for both sleds. Got my ST-X early Jan, crickets on the LT-X until the cancel notice.

    Stryke ski on 2019?

    I just had the stock yamaha carbides, which for 2022 (at least on mine) are an offset dual runner. Used those for the first 2500km or so, switched to the qualipieces yesterday.

    Stryke ski on 2019?

    I picked up a set of Qualipieces Mission Offset 6" carbides. Much less darting, but not zero. About the same amount of push as stock, so seems like a good option so far (limited to 3 outings). I will probably try the slimjims as well given the above experience :).

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    Crimp male spade-type connectors (1 smaller than the other) onto the supplied bare-wires on the harness supplied with the mount. These will connect to the wires from the sled that you disconnect from the 12v accessory plug on the dash. The mount harness has new connectors with ends on them that...

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    I looked at the NS1 as well. How do you find the brightness on bright days? I like the tracking feature as well. The Tread also has the group ride, and if someone doesn't have a GPS, they can install the Tread app and join the riding group as well. For the zoom, I just turned off the auto-zoom...

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    It's already come in handy a couple of times. Was way away from home on new-to-me trails, and definitely would have gotten lost with the poor signage. The GPS was great to keep me on the right trail. The other unexpected benefit is the track history. It came in handy when coming home back...

    Tread GPS Installed On Sidewinder

    I installed the Garmin Tread GPS using the Arctic Cat Trail mount kit over the weekend. Besides the ridiculous wiring instructions (they suggest cutting the ends off of the wires going into the accessory outlet and then splice with butt connectors - really hard to do given the short lengths...

    Stryke ski on 2019?

    What was it that you didn't like? Or rather what did the slim jims do better?

    Stryke ski on 2019?

    Thanks for the info, good to know. So you had no darting with a pair of woodys doolys and a custim shim. That's good info for me, as darting is my main complaint with the stock carbides on the stryke skis. So now I'm really curious if you like the snowtracker setup more or less than the doolys :).

    Stryke ski on 2019?

    Any thoughts on the stryke skis with semi-aggressive snowtrackers? Thinking about getting the snowtrackers as well but interested to hear how people like this combo (or not :)).

    2022 Preorder build dates/delivery dates

    Looks like I am not getting my LT-X GT EPS :(. Dealer said today he has been told they are not getting any more of those for the rest of the season, so my options are to cancel outright or convert to 2023 order. I have lots of questions about how exactly that works, as others have said. I...

    Jump starting a Winder

    I've got the same setup, which has been great. I have a charger on the wall, use the noco adapter for trickle charging when sled is not being used.

    Coolant temps in good snow 2022 sleds.

    My 22 ST-X with 1000kms runs at around 75c/167f without scratchers, and around 67c/153f with scratchers down (wire/spring style).
