All I can say about this is that I can't believe how 31 pounds (15 liter) stackable gas container can change the entire driving characteristics of a sled.

I have a 17 Sidewinder LTX SE with the Up North Technologies dual Linq rack, that I love but last weekend was the first time out for a 375km run into the Quebec wilderness (no gas for 168kms) and as such I brought the can...

Lesson number one make sure the suspension blocks are set at the highest, I was constantly touching on minor dips and then realized I had not changed the setting.

Anyways I just had the can no extra bag and was so upset trying to get into the twisty trails then it dawned on me, anyways on our way back I though ok lets drain the can and put the blocks on #2 setting.....wow what a difference.

At the end of the day don't expect to race around and corner on rails with 31 pounds on your #*$&@.

Just my two cents
