    No freeze relay

    I have not reached out to Travis on this. From the little bit of research I did on this it looks like the ones BOP sells come from Rocks but I could be wrong.

    No freeze relay

    -32C this morning in Cochrane and sled wouldn’t start and threw code 43. Thanks to this site I knew what to do. Pulled the main and fuel pump relay, warmed them up, swapped their positions and sled fired right up. Both of these relays were the BOP no freeze relays that I installed when sled...

    Getting rid of the roll over valve

    Here is the hose that I used/researched that seems to be a good option. Was in stock at local NAPA store. Highly resistant to oil, low temps etc. Gates Plant Master XTreme 325 Braid https://www.motioncanada.ca/products/sku/00340980?fromSisterSite=true

    Thunder Clutch Kit

    Installed the big viper clutch kit in the primary today as well as orange spring and hole shot helix for the secondary. Easy install. Looking to wake up the bottom end and seems like this setup comes pretty well recommended.

    Sidewinder refined anymore for 24?

    On my 22 LTX GT….. - no issues with ROV or oil tank leaks and sled spent many cold nights outside. - installed BOP driveshaft saver at 80 miles. - replaced top gear with Hurricane needle bearing gear assembly after first season. My top gear was the weak sintered gear but never caused me any...

    2023 Top Gear is Powdered Metal Junk

    Here is what I experienced/learned today when installing new Hurricane top gear - posting the details as it may help someone else.…and I’ll probably forget the details so it will help me as well for next time I get into the chaincase. - watched all the videos and read the articles related to...

    2023 Top Gear is Powdered Metal Junk

    Thanks. That’s the clarity I was looking for. Couldn’t seem to get the reverse gear to fully engage the small teeth on the top gear but will go back at it tomorrow.

    2023 Top Gear is Powdered Metal Junk

    Thanks. Am I correct in that the reverse gear doesn't slide all of the way back onto those smaller teeth on the top gear during pre-assembly?

    2023 Top Gear is Powdered Metal Junk

    Got into the chaincase this weekend and the top gear in my ‘22 LTX GT is not the machined gear. It is definitely the cheap powdered metal gear. No chipped teeth (thankfully) but definitely there is play between the gear/bushing and the shaft. I just slid the new Hurricane 21T gear on to the...

    Updated Driveshaft 8JP-G7511-10-00---metallurgy testing

    I have a few questions on this topic. I installed the BOP shaft saver within the first 50 miles - so I am expecting the shaft to look good when I disassemble and check it next month. The questions are: 1) While I have the caliper and disk off - should I replace the stock OEM bearing with the...

    Anyone trail riding with slydog command skis?

    Great info. I just ordered a set of the Command skis based on all the positive feedback. There seems to be a good amount of technology and engineering in the design of these skis to support the favourable results guys are reporting. Question - anyone have any thoughts or experience with using...

    Coolant dump

    Thanks to all that offered helpful advice. Unfortunately this reply wasn‘t particularly helpful. Really bad analogy to compare whatever it is you are talking about to sitting on the side of the trail - 3 minutes into a long anticipated trip - with the sled at the end of a tow rope and 4 litres...

    Coolant dump

    I checked all the clamps. Sudbury dealer checked all clamps. Refilled coolant. All good it would seem after the trailside coolant dump that no one can explain. No problems after 100 mile ride. But when I got home and checked things out - zero coolant in the overflow bottle and zero coolant...

    Coolant dump

    Took the 2022 LTX GT out for a ride this morning before the warm up. 2 miles from trailer - sled is overheating - goes into limp mode and lots of steam coming from left side. Shut it off - took off left side panel and coolant was everywhere. Confused at first because overflow bottle level was...

    New Sidewinder owner - First Impressions/Accessories/Problems/Questions

    Have to try something different. The 7.5 shim in the back (vs the 5) reduced darting a little but not much. I don’t think I can get where I want to be by tweaking the suspension. The Deuce runners didn’t arrive in time for this week’s trip. I’ll install them Saturday and that will be the...

    New Sidewinder owner - First Impressions/Accessories/Problems/Questions

    Thanks for the feedback. I checked my toe out and it was just under 1/4” so right where it should be. I just removed the 5.0 shim from the rear position and replaced with the 7.5 and reinstalled the shapers. I will see how that works over the next 2 days and then move on to the centre shock.

    Yes - the manual says 1.5 turns out however I've read lots of posts on here where guys are saying 1 turn is enough

    Yes. I have the tunnel braces but haven’t installed yet…..only carrying gas occasionally - I’ll wait til the off-season to install those.

    Back of carbides were shimmed down and they are running flat so not sure what else to do there. I don’t want to reduce ski pressure as the sled is already demonstrating a slight push. I suppose I should check ski alignment tomorrow
