Have a trip planned for March 5th-8th, wondering how its looking out there?

Thanks, I am considering trying that or going the route of trying the Cobra track. I am trying to find more real world experiences with the Cobra first. Haven't made up my mind, winter here in MN has been nothing short of terrible for snowmobiling, so I ma y just wait until next year to make a...

It's the high pitch that kills me, my ears ring all night after riding and my wife tells me to stop talking so loud.....going deaf from this thing.

I really might try this, I would make them shorter than the lug, to avoid the need for tunnel protectors and I ride trails that prohibit studs. Do you have any pictures of that? The other option is the cobra, after track trade in it would be $300 and then install unless I attempt it.

To be fair he didn't say it wouldn't quiet it down, he said some complained of vibration on hard pack. He suggested the cobra as the best option available to reduce noise and not possibly add vibration .

I am going to take a look at it later today and see. Does anyone run a fully clipped track? I don't think mine is, I believe its every other, which could be adding to the noise as there is a dip in the track between clips.

I wonder if its possible to stagger the idler wheels on this machine, I wonder if that would change the harmonics and maybe not be so piercing? Anyone know if they can be mounted in different spots on the rail?

I asked them about the Quiet track when I first called and he said it is not recommended as it can cause vibration on hard pack. I pressed him on whether it actually makes a noticeable difference and he stated that other customers have reported the problem going from unacceptable to manageable...

I have a 2011 Venture GT that has a brutal track howl, so much that even with ear plugs my ears are ringing after a long trip. I have the track tension loose and the sled only has 600 miles on it. I spoke to someone at tracks USA and they are saying the Cobra 1.352 track has a much softer lug...

Ok, so I put the new trackers on and adjusted the front skid spring to slightly loose while in the air and did the same to the front shock springs while in the air. Front clickers are at 6/6, rear clicker at 3 above full soft. Adjusted the front strap to the last whole on the strap and put the...

What are extrovert drivers and what benefit do they add? so 3 fingers, is that about 2 inches or...?

Yeah that's pretty high, I know I got an extremely good deal, partly because it was my neighbors and he is fairly well off. Have seen others for sale in the mid to high 7's with 3-5k miles.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. The trackers will be here soon and now I just need a little more snow to get out there and ride. Any opinion or real world experience with what a good track tension setup would be on this sled? I have heard that the stock settings are a little tight, is...

Alright, so I did some research and I think I will go with the aggressive snow trackers. I adjusted that front spring tension in the skid, quick question, should I be able to wiggle that spring much when I pull on it? Seems like it would maybe vibrate or move around a little being so loose? Or...

Wow, a little stiff then.... I will certainly do that. As far as the snowtrackers, is there a certain length to purchase or are they all one length on those?

Hi Gentlemen, I just bought a used 2011 Venture GT and am looking for a few tips and or advice on suspension setup. I am 190 pounds and mainly ride single up unless the wife wants to ride with. I ride mostly state trails and some ditches and ride somewhat aggressive at times. 6inch dual...

Yep, called him this morning and said I would take it. If you or anyone else have advice on an ideal setup for a 190 pound guy, let me know. I would sure appreciate it. I mostly trail ride, but many state trails in MN consist of a fair amount of ditches as well. I will be trying to keep up to a...

Thanks, yeah I think I am going to buy it, I looked around and there really isn't much for sale that compares. I hope it works out, its a beautiful sled. Anyone know if they are still pretty quick despite their size? Will they do 100mph? I ride single up most of the time, so hopefully with a...

Ok, I spoke to him tonight, got him to $6700. Seems like a good price to me. Can anyone weight in if they have an idea, I just don't know what these things are worth. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I just finally parted with my SRX 700 and moving to the old man Venture GT touring:) so that my wife and kids can ride with etc.... I have a line on one ( my neighbor ) with about 4oo miles on it, pretty much perfect shape. What should one like that sell for or what would be the highest...
