    Riding impressions of "power steering."

    In Mercer now. Cold and not enough snow. Not even enough snow to make the trails rough. People wearing out new carbides in 100 miles... or less...

    Lighted Heated Seat Rocker Switch

    I thought my seat wasn't heating, then I got into some stretches of trails where I could get some RPMs. Wow, it gets warm then. Make sure you get some RPMs before assuming it isn't working.

    Winder cuts out

    My 137 LTX-LE did the same thing when new in similar conditions. Cured itself and have not seen it since in 3,500 miles...

    Clock stays at 12:00AM

    I have set the time on my clock several times and it always resets to 12:00AM at some point and it also never changes to reflect minutes going by. I rode for 15 hours and it stayed at 12:00AM. And, no, the battery has not been disconnected at any point which I would expect to cause such a...

    Sidewinder Operating Temp

    I see 168 to 186 regularly... Over the past 2 days in Northern Wisconsin, I went into limp mode 7 times (over 210) and had to shut her down a few times when I couldn't find snow to kick up.

    Riding impressions of "power steering."

    If anyone is on the fence over whether to buy the Barn of Parts power steering kit... BUY IT! After nearly 300 miles of twisty curvies in Northern Wisconsin, I can tell you I no longer miss my Apex's power steering. What a marvelous difference this kit makes!! Thanks for developing and...

    Adding a ride lite.

    Your comments are exactly why I bought one for this year and am giving ridelites as Christmas gifts to rider friends! Got mine from the Yamaheater dude. They are in production. Great price too!

    Belt Break-in

    i must be very lucky. i got on the sled brand new and rode it like i stole it. 3500 miles now on factory belt and no probs yet. thought it was more important to seat the rings than pop a belt.

    So, should I buy a sidewinder??

    Yeah, I alw Yeah, I always thought my 2012 Apex was "High Performance." Then, I grabbed a handful of throttle on the LTX-LE for the first time a year ago. I still remember that sensation very clearly. The farm field became very very short in very very short order. The sled was quiet as it...

    Staying warm at continuous high speed riding on coldest days

    That is a touring sledder's wet dream right there! That is perfect for a week to 10 days straight on the trails. Should be quite manageable at hotels for overnights too. Great job!

    Studs or not ?

    ride the souix to abitibi canyon to wawa to hearst to timmons to smooth rock to sudbury to foliet to halfway haven... kinda all over for me and 3500 miles without trouble and studless. p.s. not in that order above... just to get an idea of territory covered.

    Studs or not ?

    Riding lakes without studs is a scary thing. Even the lightest corners really get you feathering the flipper to prevent the #*$&@ end from coming around on you. But, I found riding on nicely snow covered trails, studs were not missed and I've always had studded tracks on my last 4 sleds. That...

    17 owners what maintenance this pre season

    I'm looking to retire this winter too. Love the Dubreville to Timmons corridor too. Also, will do close to 6k miles this year. At age 50, that work thing just gets too much in the way of sledding! So, work has to go... Maybe we'll meet on Trail 'A' if timing's right or I can make your ride...

    Trying to decide X-TX-LE, L-TX-LE or ST-X

    sounds reasonable to me.
