    Electric Power Steering

    Yes you are correct and I was aware of that. My point was if your older pro cross non-power steering sled is comparable to the newer EPS ( Light Steering ) effort at lower speeds with good carbide then your running or on your way to running a pretty good set up.. On the other hand if your...

    Electric Power Steering

    Tell you how you can tell if you got your sidewinder sled handling dialed in … Get on a newer sidewinder and if you don’t notice a big difference between them then your sled is set correctly. My 2017 is very comparable to my new 2024 Ltx with power steering as far as the effort it takes to...

    2024 LTX Suspension issue

    Just got done studding it and was adjusting track tension on a stand and the rattle was all I could hear. Checked my 17 and they were nice and tight and no movement.. So what changed and why is what I was wondering.. To temporary fix I installed O Rings top and bottom to take up space and it...

    2024 LTX Suspension issue

    New sled had one hell of a loud rattle as both flat steel support bars that are mounted on outside of rear shock on both sides had 1/4” of play and you could rattle the one side with your hand.. Has anyone else run into this issue?

    It won’t matter if the hyper crowd gets there itch scratched early with no base or ice under the new snow.. Its been like that every year.. Those of us that have been in the sport for 30, 40, 50 years with a half a brain has the patience to wait just a little while until there is somewhat of a...

    1" track/studs length brand

    Take your pile of 1.450 and sharpen on green wheel to a point like a lead pencil. And install them in your one inch track with plates you have.. They won’t hook on ice but will hook good on hard pack trail.. They last pretty good and you save a lot of cash.. Gold diggers typically wear similar...

    Hurricane turbo intake upgrade

    At 300 horsepower you will not feel 10 added horsepower so you have to go on trust and Dave seems to be a real stand up guy unlike some in this industry. Whats another buck twenty to the already out of control money pit that puts a smile on your face we all crave…

    My nearest dealer charges over $100 now for the Yamaha oil change kit that has four quarts of oil, oil filter, funnel and drain plug seal washer.. which if you look at with common sense they ( manufacturer and dealer) have it marked up a minimum of 100 percent… I believe this is the reason some...

    Articat shutting down

    Actually I see some positive to come out of this …First it will slow growth, trails have become more and more busy with new riders, this should curb demand for increase production which should decrease prices as the market on all powersports starts to slow down… Over stocked units will find a...

    We ( many on here ) have been saying all along that prices were crazy out of balance for the longest time… yet the powers to be kept saying how great everything was going, kept increasing the prices ( All manufacturers ) just pass it on …Hopefully this business correction will help them return...

    Racing snowmobiles is like Golf .. In golf everyone thinks they play faster than they really do.. In sled racing everyone thinks they are faster than they are… Lots of claims of the latest and greatest and sometimes they are true but most of the time they fall short of their claims.. If they...
