    Old guys on Winders

    I am 66 and still think I rock this Sidewinder. I ve sledded for a few years and never loved a machine this much. How long do I have left? How old are we out there?

    My experience with the Pilot 6.9s

    I wore out my Bergstrom triple carbides and finished the season with ski Doo carbides. Bergstroms definitely dart less with the ski savers in place. Going back to them next season. Also going back to 1/4 inch shim. Found 3/8 has slightly more steering effort with a bit more pressure on the rear...

    Re Chain Tensioner.

    I have the best Yamaha Dealer ever. McGregors in Bobcaygeon. Re the chain Tensioner bolts coming loose. Old school adjustments to re tension not the way to go. Stay with spec. Too much tension results in distortion of the hole thereby loosening the bolt. None the less, for peace of mind they...

    Time for this....

    I love my Sidewinder. Spent lots of money for it. Did lots of Barn o Parts stuff. 6000 miles of joy. Thanks to Rocker Dan. Listen to this man. Once dialled in. Nothing so smooth and predictable and fast

    New clutch update

    So yeah I bought it. But I love my clutching. Easy for cruising on the low end but fast when you squeeze it. tuned only to 225 and this is a ridiculously fun sled. Smooth. Stable. Long days are easier. Wonder what performance changes the update brings. Anyone tried it?

    Removing foam from under muffler

    I have the 225 hp tune form Hurricane. I just noticed they recommend removing the foam from under the muffler. I did not do this last season and noticed no problems. Anybody removed the foam and noticed any difference?

    Water Wetter and overheating

    Getting a bit tired of overheating in hard or low snow conditions. I will try Water Wetter. Does anyone know if this just mixes in with current glycol mix and is it effective that way? Or should I drain the whole system and just put in Water Wetter and water without glycol?

    Hurricane basic flash

    I just bought the basic Hurricane flash to 225hp. Anybody running this. Gives more boost over7000 rpm so good on the lakes to embarrass my buddy on his new 850. Lol. Just wondering what to expect so when I get out after this weather mess I can compare

    LED Headlights on during a break at night.

    I noticed that my headlights go into a low power mode with the engine off and provide good lighting for hanging about trailside at night. Just wondering how long before one can't start the engine. I've done fifteen minutes or so but too chicken to try longer. I know LED do not draw as much...

    Cleaning the matte white panels

    My belt has lasted 3200 miles but boy it throws a lot of belt dust onto my matte white panels. I have tried Lestoil and some other cleaners with little success. Spray Nine works to some degree and so does Aurora Boat Scrub. Just wondering if anyone has found the ultimate product to clean up...

    Clutch rattle

    Does anyone know of a solution to this clutch rattle? Do any of the aftermarket clutch kits quiet down these noisy clutches. Not so bad wearing my BRP Modulaire, but in my CKX Titan backcountry helmet style the noise is almost unbearably aggravating at trail speed. My buddy has a 2014 Viper...

    Reality check

    I love this board..learn a lot from great people. Just want to say...my Dealer is one of the highest volume in Ontario. They are pouring SWs out the door. No issues with ANY of their sleds so far. Just the heat shield recall. And some issues with ski alignment. But that's it. This sled is...

    Cross Over skis?

    I hada s single keel mountain ski set on my Apex LTX with Snowtrackers. Transformed the sled. Worried the Tuner 3s will gather snow underneath and push like the old BRP Precision skis did. Also worried I won't get the float on powdery lakes with these skinny #*$&@ Tuners. I would like to find...
