Well the good news is I think I have my sled dialed in finally,after 2 years of timkering my 03 is doing everything I could hope for, Monday a friend and I spent 8 hrs cruising THE county in Northern Maine. We did railroad beds, big winding trails and some tight and twisty. One RR bed had a lot of use over the weekend and was loaded with bumps, I had just come off of the trail ahead of it which had been groomed and did not expect the chewed up trail and was well into the bumps with the sled over 80, it never became uncomfortable or erattic, it just behaved like magic. I would have thought the trail to have been much better then it was.
My buddy couldn't believe it , it just went straight and sucked up that trail. He thought I couldn't be having to much fun with a sled that behaved so well, he thought it took the challenge away.
On another subject I just changed the scondary helix and it really worked great a very smooth and fast upshift and a lightning fast backshift. Dano I remember you asking what it was and how I liked it. It is a 47/43 you can get on at Woody's in Topsham or from Bruce at pioneer Performance. stock is 51/43. My weights are stock and I have a green white green primary, the secondary spring is stock and on this Helix set at 6 and 1.my other mods are maximum front springs pioneer 12mm sway bar, and the longer links from Yamaha plus 136 9834 1.25 track on full rails with Ohlin's shock on both ends of the skid, also put on rx1 MTn handlebars, they are 2 inches taller and 1 inch narrower the the stock shorty handlebars. And before I forget it corners on rails with the stock skis, can now keep up with my son on his Rev for as long as I want.( which isn't that long)Also got to use my new tank bag , it was a great addition, very handy. I am very happy.
