Hmmm. I hadnt checked but i suppose its possible. I dont have a stand so it'll be tough to check but i will figure something out. I just dont remember it revving that much last year. I know last season i had it up to 119 km/h and it didnt feel like it was revving as high as it was at 70km/h...

Also, just because ..hope you all are doing well. Its been a rough couple of months so it got me thinking about 'life' in general and putting good stuff out there. So i hope everyone is doing well, are all safe, n all that jazz

Greetings folks, So after a series of unfortunate health issues, finally got out on the sled today. Was a long time coming. But alas, didnt feel like smooth sailing. Back when i posted the issues above, i got the sled started (was actually way easier than i thought it would be) but then the...

Huh. I so do not remember there being that much play there last season. Its only once the cover was off that i noticed it. So weird. Gonna try getting her started today. I noticed that one of the lines from onr of the pumps to the rail has a kink in it so gonna go get some replacement hose and...

Yeahhh that's not good. Shame. It's tough to get people to volunteer. When people step up, especially after responding to a request ... get back to them folks. Ah well :)

Okie dokie. Did some more digging. Understood on the plug boot/coil. MAN, those are long (that's what she said). So before I go yanking on those, I'd like to see if I can get the carb bowls full. Rob-X: thank you for the exploded view pic. It's likely just me but Im not 100% if I am seeing the...

What's interesting is that last year, i saw an advert asking for volunteers, for region 1. I sent them an email, no response. Called them and left a vm, no response. Seems kind of ridiculous to ask for volunteers, then dont call them back when they reach out.

Heya folks. Well, it's that time of year again. Figured Id try to get the sled started .. and I'm having some issues. Due to a LOT of family stuff over the last 6 months, I hadn't been able to start it since end of April :( To add, my usual mechanic (my uncle) is having some health issues so...

@maim: yeah that's pretty much what I did. Even still .. lifting that arse end is a monster effort haha But, I'm glad my plan of attack was the same as others. Great minds n all that ;) @Mooseman: yamaton haha That's hilarious. I hadn't heard that one before. As for the wear, I will...

It was a great day, if not a bit cold for the little fella :) We are still navigating how best to keep his hands and toes warm. Hand warmers on the sled, heat pad thingies in his gloves, good quality gloves all haven't done the trick yet. Same with toes. But, we will get there. PS. Oops. Sorry...

From a month or so back. First ride of the season on our 'new to us' sled :)

G'day folks, Bit of a long post so buckle up. So, some background: as a young lad, was around snowmobiles, all 2 strokes and mostly single cylinder, for as far back as I can remember. Never really had to work on em since the adults did that .. just got to enjoy. I'm paying for that now :P...

I thought as much but, given Im still a bit green to this area, I wasnt really sure. Awesome, ty. I'll definitely get a bigger trailer but when I bought the sled, the length didnt make the connection to the trailer. It's in the budget for next year now :)

Heya all, Got a weird question. I have a 4.5' x 8' trailer. Previously, I had a '96 MXZ which fit perfectly. I have no obtained an '07 Venture, which is, significantly longer... in the tune of just under 11'. My question is ... exactly how much overhang on the front and back is, for lack of a...

@ateick wow, thats awesome. Definitely affordable. Its nice that its scalable so if my wife wants to go with us and we have two sleds, I can just add a receiver. Thanks a bunch man. @maim ooooo thats fantastic. Seems super simple. Definitely gonna reach out to rockmeister. I'll admit to not...

Ohhhh I know all about it. My wife was convincing me to sell the Doo. But Im all "yeah, but, if you wanna gooooo" and "if my dad wants to come with" and "it's old and it's not costing much so why not just keeep iiiiiit?" haha On top of THAT, besides the GPS thing, I'm looking at: - getting a...

So long post coming. Grew up on sleds as a kid. Grandpa always had 3 or 4 old beaters. Once he got a bit older we stopped. I was around 18. Last year, i biught a used 96 Doo 583, after not having been on a sled in 25 years. I still got it but its olllllld iron. Anywho, i mostly did rides...

This is true. But how do you keep your phone warm enough? Im ok with a gps .. $150 gps that i got 6 years ago. But a $1000 cellphone? Eeesh.

Oh, and, thank you :)

Heya Ateick. Awesome. I figured as much but, ya know, horses mouth n all that :p I just acquired a 2007 Venture GT. Picking it up in a few days. Cant wait to ride it. Gotta figure out where and how to hook up said GPS but i suspect it will be pretty obvious haha
