Mone is trouble free after 500 mile. Love this sled. Rollers are good also.

Putting new rollers on before I leave. I have 145 miles with the TD Ecotrail / TD TurboForce / TD Clutching and it's wild without studs. I have 192 Stingers in now and heading to Northern Wisconsin on Thursday night.

Without studs, can't fathom being able to take advantage of your performance upgrades. Stock power makes the rear end awfully squirrely. Just did 225 miles in Mercer/Hurley.

I've had issues with the exhaust bolts, my turbo bolts fell out and my rollers are flat spotted but ya know what I love this sidewinder. Smooth crazy power, smooth ride, 4 stroke reliability, what more is their to say. 400 miles so far and can't wait till my next ride.

830 miles trouble free all stock. I increased the front track shock many turns but still steers a little heavy so I need to work on that! The sled is a STX-DX 137 and I welcome any suspension set-up suggestions. Smooth fast power, better gas mileage than 06 apex er, 15 AC 1100 turbo. I would like it to corner better but not terrible.

Good to hear Saber! I am gonna look at getting one shortly if I can sell my 1100turbo. After running this weekend with one, it really is a great sled and just that much better than my 1100 in teh engine department. I won't say it is better handler and ride compliance but is it close as I have ohlins and QS3 setup exit shocks on the front of my 1100 and mine is softer ride but cost way more to get that way. Cheers

400 kms on mine with zero issues, and I will admit I already love this sled, I have my 2015 Apex xtx as backup, but I dought I'll ever drive it again, that's a big statement right there! Only thing I'm having trouble adjusting to is its quiet like very very quiet

450 miles. No problems except frozen crotch. Need ski's & windshield for next run. Will change rollers, but no flatspots. I will go through sled this weekend to re-check & tighten.

400 miles & Zero issue's! Averaging right at 15-16mpg, 1st tank was lower.
Actually I have had one persistent issue, a sore neck! This sled pulls so hard I think a neck brace might be a good idea!
Sidewinder B-TX SE has been the ultimate sled for me so far! Loving it!

Its the skis..no one can seem to make them work. See the threads relating to skis. It's my next move.

Thanks Pigeon for the reply!
I looked through the most if not all of the ski and runner posts and I can't decide what my next move is going be. I am going to stud the track this week and plan on following the woody pattern 144 and use woody stud#

GDP6-1575-L
I have the 1.6" cobra track
Long stud 1.825 " but that is what woody specs per woody's website.
Thoughts and concerns welcome please!
What Ski and runners do you recommend?

i haven't trail ridden mine yet, and only went up 2 turns on center before riding after checking preload with sled in air, but i was surprised i don't see that heaviness yet, 117 miles. i can agree transfer not the greatest but worry with the middle studded about removing blocks.
