Project Farm just did a video on comparisons of different additives to help lower coolant temps. Although he didn't test the additive, he did test the coolant with Water Wetter, which has been recommended in this forum for years. I know I've been using Water Wetter for years and it does help...

@MrSled Happy belated birthday Tom from your birthday brother! Hope your day was as good as mine. I hit the big 60. I think you're the same? It's just a number anyway. Just can't eat too much cake anymore o_O

It doesn't look good again for the upcoming season unless you're in northern Ontario or Manitoba. Sources: https://www.powder.com/news/old-farmers-almanac-canada-winter-2025 https://www.powder.com/news/old-farmers-almanac-full-winter-forecast I'm looking at mild and dry in my area (Ottawa)...

Although this is for BRP, could be one of the reasons Yamaha are getting out while they can. The writing is on the walls. https://www.castanet.net/news/Business/479295/Mild-winter-wreaks-havoc-on-BRP-snowmobile-sales-as-Ski-Doo-maker-cuts-production

As per the title. Need the main as well as the two smaller fairings. The metal bracket would also be considered depending on price. Please pm

Thinking of getting a later model RS Venture GT or TF with power steering for my wife. She likes the ride of my '10 GT but ever since her dislocated shoulder has a hard time steering. And I'd also like it. The plan is that I keep the '10 as a secondary sled and when my wife rides the "new"...

@MrSled From your twin brother in another country, Happy 57th birthday! Hope you do like me and go for a ride with the family.

Just installed the Schmidt Brothers Comfort and Quiet clutch kit. Did a comparison video and although it doesn't sound like it changed much, I think the frequency of the noise has changed and the covers do a better job at muffling them. And my roller bolts had so much slop I had to use the...

Anybody else have this problem? No matter which jacket I wear, it rides up my back and my back gets cold. Every so often, I have to stop, stand up and do the "Picard tug". Even though I wear a full bib, my back gets cold. I'm a big guy, 320 lbs, 6'2" and the new FXR jacket I'm currently...

It was bound to happen and understandably so. https://mailchi.mp/ofsc/urgent-update-for-ontario-snowmobilers-and-club-volunteers?e=9d1e8335fe

Looking to trade mine in for a 2020 RS Venture TF but don't want to pay full price (who does?) and thinking of trying to find a leftover. When do discounts typically start? Also don't know how it works if there are no local dealers if they will transport it to my dealer or I have to travel to...

My season is going from bad to worse. In an attempt to remove the tunnel protectors because they're rubbing on my 1.5" non-studded track, while drilling out a rivet from the bottom, the drill caught and went into the gas tank. Can the tank be fixed by using a soldering gun and melting some...

Related to RS Venture GT takes forever to warm up, now I find myself losing coolant. To recap, it had low coolant with no obvious leak, replaced the thermostat, refilled and it idles fine and gets up to temp and pressure. I also installed a temp gauge and bled the system of air (had it...

Well, it had to happen, sold my MP today after 11 years and 16k km of faithful service. Yeah, it wasn't perfect and had its quirks but I still loved that sled. She's going to pasture of sorts, going from high KM trail riding to being a sugar bush workhorse. Goodbye old friend. You will be...

On my '10 RS Venture GT, just put the chaincase back together for a track change. With the rotor on, I've got about 2-3mm of side play of the rotor on the shaft. I've got just one washer or shim between the circlip and rotor. The repair manual shows one shim and washer and the parts fiche...

On a 2010 fuel injected, this morning, started it to get it out of the trailer and park it in the yard, it took almost 20 minutes for the warmup temp light to go out. Take it out and within a couple of minutes, the hot engine light comes on. Rode it around the yard a bit to get some snow in...

Not the first time we've seen this. https://www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/news/news/Kamloops/Police_looking_to_identify_driver_who_transported_a_snowmobile_on_the_roof_of_their_car/ Funny thing is it looks like an old police car!

Anybody know if there is any aftermarket outer tie rod for these sleds? Looked at Kimpex, nada.

Saw this while YT surfing and thought it's a good design that would be difficult to defeat. Just watch for the quality of the puck locks as some (like Masterlock) are junk. Welding skills required.

OK, 40 km range doesn't sound like much but for their use, it works well. Cool that the tech is starting to get there.
