It is all about your own priorities and the terrain you ride. If you have got loads of vertical chutes and open space, the stock horsepower is nowhere near enough. On the other hand, if you are only doing technical riding between trees, the horsepower means nothing.

My best guess is that you are looking at remainings of assembly grease. The seals and the o-rings are lubricated with some kind of assembly grease before they are installed into the shock absorber. This grease might very well be red, and when being mixed with water or other washing detergents...

They can for sure build a single set, with exactly the same spec as the scandinavian model. If not, check with the swedish distributor Revelj Racing, Hedeviken, Sweden. He builds loads of those for Yamahas as well as others.

I was considering the Ascent or the Peak for this season, but couple of reported durability problems around my place made me think twice. I went for the Challenger Extreme instead, which is reported to be the better choice for fresh powder anyway. Also, the Ascent is a bloody expensive option...

Just to get one thing straight - Ohlins TTX shocks have separated compression and rebound bleed adjusters. One does not affect the other. The TTX shocks from the scandinavian market FX Nytro TTX model does not exist as aftermarket or accessory equipment. They were built in a limited number...

Got something to do with the new safety function they added for 2013...?

WTF...? I thought I was a shitty rider... ;)!

Now we are talking...! Seriously, I am very interested in how that 7075-T6 tunnel project turns out, from a professional as well as private point of view. You might not realize it, but you are breaking trail....! Talking about tunnels and choice of materials, does anybody know the exact...

That sounds like the normal reverse gear free play.

Oh no, you will miss the introduction of the new, supercharged 174" mountain sled...I heard they will re-use the Mountain Max name...

Type R is for sure patented by Honda...

My measurements are obviously for Ski-Doo extroverts, but the measurements to the center should work with any brand. If you have got a 2012, please also scroll down to the last two posts in that thread. There is obviously a length difference between the 2012 drive shaft and previous drive shafts.

How about a set of SLP Powder Pro...? Likely the most versatile ski in snowmobile history. Works on hardpack, soft trails as well as deep powder. Have them on the RTX SE 136". Clearly better steering response and pure "steering grip" than the stock junk. Clearly better flotation in powder as...

Hands down - you are never ever going to make the FX Nytro handle like the SRX on a flat and well groomed trail. And the same goes the other way around for a rough trail. The FX Nytro is a high center of gravity long suspension stroke cross country sled. The SRX is a low center of gravity short...

Also, Mothers Billet Polish will bring out a better finish than Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish. In my opinion, Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish as well as the Busch Super Shine stuff is a bit too aggressive as they dull the perfect mirror finish by leaving microscopic but still visible scratch marks.

I deal a lot with machined 7075-T6 at work. Seems like the entire world supply of thicker material (thicker than 2") has been a bit questionable during the last 18 months or so.The material seems to be less homogenous than before. Still impressive tensile strength in the billet direction, but...

Difficult to find anything tricker than 6082-T6 around here. How is the 7075-T6 to work with...? I was under the impression you should not be able to bend it like that...?

X2. Mothers PowerBall and Mothers Billet Polish.

The kit is made for the 2010-2013 MTX SE, 153" as well as 162". The kit is made by BDX and rumours say it is an identical copy of their AC Float CrMo Kit (I will compare it to a real AC skid at a later stage, just to know for sure). If this is true it should behave like an AC skid with Yamaha...

You need to do some reading about metals as well as carbon fibre. First, all commercially available metals does not necessarily have the same mechanical properties in all directions. Even high spec seven-series "aircraft aluminium" can have a tensile strength that differs by a factor three in...
