    First snow in Northern Illinois. Definitely gives one hope for a great season. Anyone else getting snow?

    I thought I took responsibility for fixing my own motor the minute I tuned it?

    So the only two changes I've made this year is the gap innovations Ram Air & a primary spring change. If you decide to do this mod take your time with the Dremel and clean some things up, for a better fit. So I'll be switching the tune 250/275/290 to verify my findings. Is the extra boost worth...

    Wow... So many misconceptions in the use of the extended mileage filter for short use, low mileage oil changes.

    Hey guys, the writing has been on the wall for a while now. Yamaha jumped ship years ago and just waited to pull the trigger. Did they eliminate any other sectors of Motorsports, the answer is no. While our complete economy is mostly in chaos it's not a shock to me that the snowmobile industry...

    The two biggest contributors are generation Z don't want to work and can't afford the $40k to entertain this sport. $40k is being generous. Two brand new sleds (to help move brand new units. Buying used sleds doesn't help) trailer and a tow rig. Unfavorable weather patterns. I can't afford a...

    It really, really, really is all in good fun. At least for me. I like going over on Polaris & Skidoo groups and see what's going on with them. Mostly Amazingly honest people in most of the groups. However, you are correct.. marketing runs rampant, as to what's real & what's blown out of...

    100% on all that. I was just implying the aftermarket has made some strides from a piggyback $3,500 tune and 210hp to a blue tooth receiver & 250hp. I'm not for "team" skidoo. Lol. Always enjoy & welcome the competition raising the bar for their customers.

    Well, I suppose I'll keep this topic alive for 2025. Did some poking around on YouTube. Found Map-tune & precision EFI have collaborated on a Bluetooth device to override the factory computer on the 900r. Now you can click your way up to 250hp. I'd say that's a pretty good jump over last year...

    Good info, TY. I put the 51365xp on order. Funny....the 57040xp is available at all my local parts houses, and the 51365xp is not. So I'll put them both in my notes in the event I get into a bind or something.

    Uh-oh....I bought a 51356XP. Turboflash, is your number off or did I purchase the wrong filter?

    Big pump mpg

    My early findings & very short term use of "big pump" I averaged 11.8mpg on a sled that's been operating at 15mpg (stock) I believe every time you squeeze the throttle hard, even for just a moment, you're consuming fuel at a higher rate then when stock. I suppose and I'm hoping I'll be able to...

    Secondary question

    Tim, when you say static do you mean pull the spring out and drop the belt into the secondary in order to verify the distance from movable to bearing holder? Thank you...

    Secondary question

    Had my secondary cut down a couple years ago. Then read a discussion about, cutting too much off. I have a guestimate of .020 of gap between washer & sec movable during full shift out. Will this be enough room given thermal expansion?
