    Earth X battery

    I've been told pre warming happens when you put some load on it, like turning the key and letting the display light on, roll over valve element (on newer sidewinders) etc. is this enough?

    Snowmobile wraps longevity

    I recommend Deviant Ink, I've used them twice now. Clean everything with rubbing alcohol, it dries very fast, and removes residue really well. Just use a heat gun to heat up those "pebbled" surfaces and the stuff sticks really well. The decals are top notch, original is just wet paper compared...

    Bought a 2016 Viper

    Oh and on the turbo check that compressor wheel for play. Check hoses for cracks.

    Bought a 2016 Viper

    Maintenance is about a lot more than changing fluids, here are some examples: be sure to check for worn out components (bearings, bushings, gaskets etc.) check and clean clutches, check skis and track for wear and allign them and make sure everything is tight, check for exhaust leaks, pop in...

    Bought a 2016 Viper

    Congrats! There are lots of things you could check out, or do to prevent issues. Here's a lot of them: https://ty4stroke.com/threads/viper-frequently-asked-questions.120191/

    Sidewinder mountain track poll

    Thanks for the feedback! I've used the X3 on a 162" Viper (and loved it) but unfortunately they don't make those for 153", that's why it's not included in this poll. I'm interested in the X3.2, but not sure if the clearance is good enough for getting snow outta the tunnel.

    Sidewinder mountain track poll

    2023 MTX 153” with 270 kit. After 1200 brutal kms my 3" Powerclaw is ready to be swapped out. I'm posting this poll, but also hoping for lots of feedback on different tracks. Do the paddles flex, does the track trench, is it sturdy, how is the grip, half or full clipped, how much does weight...

    Track and Drivers?

    Would recommend the Challenger 3X. Less prone to flexing/tearing than the Powerclaw, and you get more grip on harder snow, especially with the sawtooth one.

    New wrap

    Installed this just after the season ended. Used the same template as I had on my previous Viper, but went blue this time. Deviant Ink, high quality stuff!

    Viper Turbo high exhaust temps

    Most 270 kits don't come with headers, but use the original manifold which tends to crack at the welds over time. With the original exhaust setup you shouldn't have afr issues. I recommend MCX steel exhaust side vent. I used plastic vents which melted.

    Viper Turbo high exhaust temps

    Extractor exhaust?

    Viper Turbo high exhaust temps

    My tank melted likely because the header shield had a crack. Got that welded together. I didn't get to try a turbo wrap before I sold it. I think it's better with a shield over it to let the turbo heat transfer. As long as you have an uncracked header shield you should be good. Sidewinder is...

    Viper Turbo high exhaust temps

    Never got that afr gauge I ordered from MCX. Ended up grabbing my grinder and cutting a big hole in the aftermarket sidevent. My new Sidewinder has a heat shield over the turbo and a heat wrap hanging below that next to the exhaust can, works like a charm. Dealer told me the orange color is...

    DIY headlight delete

    Did a quick test drive. The light is clearly brighter, but has less spread. The light image is sort of flat, but I do see the terrain better. I'm pretty comfortable using only this in the dark.

    DIY headlight delete

    Bolted directly to the "windshield". Can barely even see it! Had to grind some cheap spade connectors to fit the original connector. I will test and post results later when it gets dark.

    2018 SnoScoot clutch bolt

    On bigger sleds I usually lock the brake, then jam a key with adequate length between top of primary and center/bottom of secondary. Take care not to place it on sharp/weak parts. Not sure how the smaller ones look.

    Getting rid of the roll over valve

    Left side would be a tight fit because of the secondary and guard. Right side has higher temps, I think the slush would drain out easier there.

    Getting rid of the roll over valve

    I meant to say oil hose, not fuel hose! I installed a gas hose that withstands high temps and is made from a substance that works well for oil. I'm thinking the original ROV won't fail. Btw it took a lot of force to turn the hose connector towards exhaust but definitely possible.

    Getting rid of the roll over valve

    Tired of getting oil in the intake, so I'm definitely bypassing it. But I will keep my heated ROV, since I'm actively throwing it around as a 2-stroke. If the hose before ROV freezes, then I'm deleting the ROV and installing a better oil tank seal. Turned the pipe towards exhaust side...

    Sidewinder or something different.

    You don't see a lot of youtubers in the US/Canada on 4-stroke MTX's. It's way more popular here in Scandinavia. We don't get as much snow as you do, but on this side of the lake we would be happy to get stuck. I think most would pick a 2-stroke over an XTX for off-trail. But personally I...
