    Sell 17 Sidewinder LTX SE and buy newer or keep it?

    I don't think I will sell my Attak. It just runs so well and has been drop dead reliable, still looks great. The addition of the Seat Concepts seat makes it feel way more comfortable and it's even more rider forward now. Not to mention it's not worth much anymore. If I find the right sled and...

    Sell 17 Sidewinder LTX SE and buy newer or keep it?

    That I don't doubt. I have been seeing 2025 SRX's with no miles popping up for more than they were retail. To be honest, I have a retired Yamaha employee friend that has a brand new 2025 SRX. It has never been driven, he offered to sell it to me this past winter. All he said is,I will never ride...

    Where did you find a 2025 in that model? I haven't seen one for sale anywhere in my area.

    End of season review of the ZR9000RR I bought as a new left over

    That has been my issue on the clutches. I saw so many people post on exploded TCat clutches this last winter it’s down right crazy. Looks like Cat has a steel spider next season. Is that their conclusion that the spider is starting the destruction? How about the weak cover? Was that addressed...

    End of season review of the ZR9000RR I bought as a new left over

    I recently missed out on a 2024 ZR9000RR a few weeks ago. A dealer in Minnesota sold their dealer demo with 1600 miles on it for $11,900. I saw it on FB Marketplace and the ad was just put up. I looked the dealer up and called them immediately. Oh, we have a guy coming to get it now. It was...

    First ride of the season...

    One of my co-workers is from the Marquette area, Republic I believe. His dad and sister still live up there. He was filling me in this week. He said an old high school buddy was trapped in his house. All the doors and windows were buried with snow. I see they had to rescue a sledder who was lost...

    Stryke - Snowtracker carbide?

    In early February when I rode at my buddies cabin in northern Wisconsin he had ordered a set of Snowtracker semi aggressives that showed up. I helped him install them on his 2021 SRX with the stock Stryke skis. We took Knapp's advise to make sure there was no heel pressure. Fortunately there was...

    2027 Thundercats

    True, I guess the old Thundercat triple triple had a long run too. This sled may be a hair longer. Talking bone stock.

    2027 Thundercats

    I don't think I can remember a muscle sled that has been the king of the lake for this many years. Yamaha was right when this was released, "it's going to take a long time for the competition to beat this one". I am starting to think no one ever will, it will probably just go away.

    First ride of the season...

    It's been a few years since I rode those trails and had a beer and burger at the Pub and Grub. My friend Jeff has a cabin up there (SledHead 24/7 guy) and another buddy has a beautiful A Frame cabin off of Hwy #2 past Iron River,Wi. I have stayed there and one of the fire roads starts right by...

    2027 Thundercats

    I see for spring check only you can get a white out color option but reading it through, which is sort of vague, my assumption is that it’s only for the new chassis? UPDATE: upon further research, it is only on the catalyst machines. It would have been interesting to see one for the TCat. Like...

    2027 Thundercats

    That's my biggest gripe, the Cat's primary hasn't been holding up on the tuned sleds from what I have seen. I even saw a guy a week ago post that his secondary exploded. Makes you wonder if they switched to a different foundry that casts them? That Tapp primary looks like a work of art, but they...

    Garmin G8 changing background color?

    https://qcc3d.myshopify.com/products/arctic-cats-garmin-powered-g8-premium-model?variant=43989895512124 A guy on the Facebook Sidewinder pages has been posting this link, apparently he sells them. Name is Don Miller.

    Sell 17 Sidewinder LTX SE and buy newer or keep it?

    Any SE I would consider upgrading the shocks to QS3, QS3r or something like the Exit's, Hygear or ohlins. There's a big difference in ride quality from an SE to an LE Winder. That's just me because of the areas I ride.

    Internet BS or real deal?

    https://www.arcticcat.com/snowmobile/trail/thundercat-9000 Well ,the Catalyst version was internet BS it looks. Oh well, the 998T still lives. I like the looks of them, especially the black/red one.

    Internet BS or real deal?

    I am crossing my fingers the 998T stays alive. I could care less if someone else thinks they are too heavy. I don't do off trail stuff, so fast and reliable is all I care. My only hope is the old Cat trust is back and from my understanding they had a good relationship for the most part with...

    Stryke or aftermarket skis?

    My buddy has a 2021 SRX Winder with the stock Stryke skis. He put a set of Snowtrackers on while I was up at his northern Wisconsin cabin the first full weekend of February. We both couldn't believe how it transformed his sled. Steers easier like power steering and absolutely no darting. I could...

    First ride of the season...

    Seems when the east coast has good snow we get shutout in the midwest.
