Well this year just plain sucks. The snow was late ad is only rideable in a few places and everyone is there! 2nd weekend in the gateway to the UP and by Saturday night the trails were junk and weather says close to 40 by the end of tis week.
In 3 days of riding I only have 375 miles on the 15 but she is coming along nicely. So far from 0 miles I can feel it has way more power at 7#'s of boost than the 14 did at 9 or 12#'s. The new gearing is fantastic without even running hard 105 mph is almost instant add still only running 8450 rpms at 114 mph. It is clutched for 10.5#'s of boost so can't wait till she is pulling 9000 rpms. When I hit the 500 mile mark and change the oil I will hit the switch and see how 10.5#'s treats me.

Nice to hear your enjoying the flash! I'll probably end up going this route next season! We still have 0 snow around myself currently so no riding yet this season....
Yup just turn the key whether hot motor or cold and barely cranks 2 turns and vroom. before I had to bump the throttle and it took 3 or 4 tries with at least 1 kickback.

Geez that's no good! Knock on wood I've only had one kickback in the 1950km I have on my 15..
Well I did find out that the battery was also bad 2nd viper that the battery did not make it 1 yr. I bought the 15 last March and rode it 40 miles then parked it cause the 14 was way more fun. disconnected it and trickle charged it over the summer every other week or so. before Ulmer finished the sled he charged it and it did not finish the 1st day. cranking amps were 200.
