    Tri Moto help - Need suggestions

    I have 1983 Tri Moto 200EK (Shaft drive). It was a little hard to start and kicked back sometimes when starting with the recoil. I broke down and replaced the starter clutch so I could start it easier. It hasn't helped. Here is what is happening and hope someone has some ideas: 1. It tries...

    Final Consensus on jackshaft and bearing

    I have 2400 miles on my 14 Viper and plan on changing the wobble bearing and bushing this year. I would prefer to install a final solution that prevents needing to do this so often. So which makes more sense to install? Order the 2017 Jackshaft and bearing (eliminating the Wobble Bearing) or...

    Shout out

    Wanted to say thanks to Cannondale27. Revalued my skid shocks. Just spent a week in the UP riding and ltx se soaked up the bumps. Huge improvement. Maybe QS3’s for the front next year. Totally worth it.

    Quick suspension question

    Took it all apart for a rebuild and shock revalve and simply forgot the orientation of the pivot arm the rear most shock connects to. See pics. Rear of skid is to the right in both pics.

    What are folks using for a sled stand?

    Off season suspension upgrades

    I am going to send in my rear shocks for a re-valve to Cannondale. However I am wondering if I should also put a dual rate spring on the front skid shock and the Cat softer torsion springs on at the same time? 2014 ltx SE with 1800 miles and I am 235 dressed out. Thanks. Want the best ride...

    Anybody else notice?t

    Recently I noticed Port Yamaha advertising very strongly for Arctic Cat. Bleeding green slogans etc. I take them to be a very well known and large mover of Yamaha sleds (I bought there). Could they know something we don’t about the future of Yamaha and are proactively taking steps to shift to...

    Everything I had heard was true about the Viper

    Live in Texas, get one week a year to ride in the UP. Trip was 3rd week of Feb on a new Viper. Basically everything I heard about this sled was true: The Good Handled great compared to my Apex LTX SE - too much rebound in rear skid but not too bad (shock re-valve needed - Hello Canondale)...

    Opinions on chain case first oil change after break in.

    I have a new leftover LTX SE. I only get to sled fort one week a year as I live in Texas. Sleds stays at my place in the UP. So, my plan is to break it in the first 2-3 days then do an engine oil change. Do I need to do chain case at that time? I normally would want to do it but it is time...

    Be careful out there

    Just saw this posted on Maters Stop-n-go’s Facebook page. Alger County in the UP. Apparently one dead and one in serious condition. “Hearing reports of the first snowmobile fatality of this season, very sad to hear this, how about we make sure this is the only one this season, please, please...

    Carbide question for new sled

    I have always studded my sleds but am going to leave this LTX stock. It is a 14 so has the Cat ski. Going with the double down carbides (like the slim Jim). So no studds and 137 track and trail riding. Is 4inch enough? 6" too much?

    Lt-X in Texas heat Shock question

    I have a new (leftover) 14 ltx with zero miles I picked up in April and hauled back here to Texas so I could go over it before next season. It has been sitting in my garage the entire time. I just recently notice the rear suspension is completely collapsed just sitting there. I can lift it up...

    Thunder Products Secondary spring question

    I have a new leftover 14 LTX SE with zero miles. I don't want to fully clutch until it is broken in because I want to set it once and leave it alone (Live in Texas, sled in UP for a week a year and no time waste adjusting during that week). Can I buy the midnight blue secondary spring, shim...

    Will my Dual Tuners I put on 06 Apex fit my 14 Viper LTX SE?

    I can't check myself as I live in Texas and the sleds are in the UP. Was going to order carbides and need to know if I can pop the Dual Tuners on the Viper. Thanks

    Would you guys go for this deal?

    Knowing what you know about the Viper would you buy a leftover 14 ltx for $7500? I know there are a lot of issues I would need the dealer to take care of before pickup but I can't ride the old Attak any longer, even though it gave me 11,800 flawless miles and the motor still makes me moist...
