Plenty of winter left here so no surprise we were one of the last to get it. Only one machine brought up to dealer, it was a LTX SE. Before I even sat on it I was laughing at the guys who were picking apart the fit finish stuff on these machines. The front of the seat came off during the ride...
Little jump I built in the yard. River ride tomorrow. :Rockon:
Hopefully about 2 more weeks left. A month or more in the mountains that are about 4 hrs drive. :Rockon:
Did a ride on and off the Iron Dog trail today (Tanana river and surrounding hills). Was a bit cold and some of the terrain was a bit chewed up from some recent winds but it was good to get out and play. N-joy.
Did a run on the Iron Dog trail (Tanana river). Conditions were not the greatest (a bit rough as the wind has been blowing a bit) but it was good to get out and sun was shinning. More pics in Photo section. N-joy.
Noticed some vibration on my last ride and after looking over my jackshaft bearing found the bearing locknut has come off. Well of course from bouncing around the threads are all buggered up and won't thread back on!! :o| I read up on the fix for the bearing and I really want to avoid getting...
All I can say is wow!! Sorry guys the Cat motor is stupid fun and the turbo blow off is like something out of Fast and Furious. But I still think I am going with an Apex. Anyone who has not thrown a leg over a 11'-13' Ape with power steering is really missing out. I don't even think I can get...
Decent day on our local rivers (section of the Alaska Iron Dog race runs through here). Definately need more snow as you can see by the large jumble ice in the second photo and there's still a bit of open water. All in all not a bad early season ride put on about 80 miles and pulled 118 on dremo...
My RTX was sputtering and was cranking forever with the old fuel left in the tank. Dumped in some seafoam and fresh fuel now runs like a champ. Did a quick oil and filter change (can do it in an hour now :Rockon: ), grease and cleaning she was ready to ride.
Carbides are toast so I did a...
Ok got my exhaust back together and did a quick rag test to make sure all is sealed tight. Passed as machine quit but now I cannot get it to re start. I did make the mistake of doing this before it was fully warmed so am wondering if I fouled the plugs. When I tried to re start it ran for a bit...
Y-pipes seem Ok. I will pull apart and inspect just in case. Donuts were checked at beginning of season and should still be fine. Almost seems like a vibration resonance thing that cracked it as it broke on top. Weird.
Sled gets run pretty hard off some jumps but not really through big...
Well this year is done looks like a victory for Ski-Doo. Credit where credit is due Mckenna/Vanmeter ran a flawless race.

I didn't get to the finish line but instead went out on the Tanana to get some action shots. Well my camera had other...
Just was out today and had soft snow with lots of loose tracked up conditions. Some darting and wandering. Do I need a little more toe out? It is set at 1/4 I know manual calls for 1/2 but I also have read on some of the more agressive bars you want less toe. Also I have the Apex mountain skis...
Foot of fresh but -40 today. :o| I knew this was coming so was able to get out earlier in the week but man I hate these weekends when I can't get my fix. Oh well good excuse to catch up on some projects.
Hmm interesting look pretty stout but holy $$$$. For $120.00 I can buy a lifetime supply of the regular. My graphites with no extra wheels and a tight track are going strong at 2000mi.
