5th Annual McCall Ride

[Mountaintech]

The second box of SC parts showed up yesterday. I'll be working on the install this weekend. They don't have the pulleys in stock to turn down the boost so I may not ride it yet. Not really wanting to run 14 pounds yet.

If you're running a BOV just set it to release @ 10 lbs until you get the other pullies. Or is that not do-able (sorry I'm ignorant about the BOVs since I still haven't installed one )

Not do able. BOVs work off a vacuum signal. You are describing the function of a PRV (pressure relief valve)

That's great. I was hoping you guys would make it.

Cool!!
How are those new sleds work'in out?

 

[spray25]

Even more snow yesterday and last night. Brundage claims 27" in last 72 hours. 80% chance of snow today and at least 30% chance everday for the next week.

The new sleds are great!!! Mrs. Spray has only riden hers once, but I have had three trips out. The last one was the first with the SC. It is absolute night and day from the RX-1. The Nytro is so light and agile in comparison. I have not had the best snow on my rides, but it carves so much easier and is so much more managable in the trees. My last ride was a fair amount in the trees, and I wasn't totally beat when the day was over. What a nice change. My clutching is still way off, but the SC is doing well so far. I can't wait till I have it dialed in. Oh, and I just finished the 162 last night.

There are a few negatives that I have found to the Nytro though.

1) There is very little wind protection. There are bigger windshields available, but I am going to try handguards first.
2) The gas tank is too small, especially with boost. Looks like a trail tank in my future.
3) The front end, in and around the skid plate, retains way to much snow. Even after you let it melt off you can lift the rear of the sled up and water comes out.
4) The stock track is pretty soft. I like the camo extreme better.

All in all I LOVE the sled though. It is a blast to ride.

Thats good to hear Ray! I almost bought one. But decided to wait and try to save up some more cash before I get a MTX.
I was wondering about the fuel tank size. I hope they come out with a larger tank on the 09s.

Hope to see you there Spray!!!! :rules

 

[spray25]

Been getting lots of snow again and there is supposed to be a big storm rolling in today. The riding is getting good!!

 

[spray25]

Since we are getting closer I figured I would take a roll call. Please let me know if you are coming.

We will have a kick off breakfast at my place on Saturday so we need to have an idea of how many will be here. If you need a map/directions please get me your email address.

Ray
There will 3 in our group, although Franz dosn't eat breakfast (just coffee). I keep telling him, he is some sort of freak!
We plan on riding Sat through Tuesday, with heading home Wed.

You guys still at the same place?

Bill

 

[spray25]

Great I have you down for 3. Yes, we are stil in the same place.

I'm planning on attending at least one day with my Dad. Would love to see how my Apex compares to some that are truly setup right.

 

[spray25]

I bet your setup is better than you claim

I added an attendees list to the first post in this thread so we know who is coming.
