My thoughts on my sidewinder ltx se. First 2 rides

Well, keeping fingers crossed, but I asked Excell to check the sled out after 434 mile service today changing the oil, chaincase, etc....clean bill of health...bolts, clamps, hoses, clutch adjusted (I did a minor one early on..has their slick adjuster) everything..track susp., wheels, etc....everything excellent. Showed me how to reassemble the actuator..so simple when a pro shows you....very pleased. Awesome dealer. Also said dealers should have gone over all the service bulletins from last year before letting a sled out the door. Great guys, imo. Wish I had more money...I'd buy a bike, 4 wheeler, etc from them.....but not a Polaris...lol!

I cross so often, as I have homes in both country's, and live 20 mins from Border in summer. I got NEXUS pass many many yrs ago, no lines, no waiting, definitely no searching, just a quick hi and bye! The ultimate sledders tool! And it also gets you in the fast lane(TSA PRE) at the airports....shoes remain on and away you go.

2017 ltx se. 192 1.450 gold diggers with all double angled backers, 9" duece bars. Transfer blocks out and just the shaft in the rear, j&t 4th wheel kit and a clutch kit from TP.
First ride resulted in 0 miles, started it up, backed it out of the trailer and as i got on my helmet noticed puddle on the ground from a coolant leak. Back in the trailer it went and I rode the old stand by nytro for the day, disappointing, but at least it was at the trailer, nit 50 miles away, it went back to the dealer the next day. Not a big issue, was just some loose clamps on the hose that is accessible between the clutches.
Ride number 2 was yesterday,
118 miles and had a ball, the 6,000 rpm was hard the first 100, after 100 i would occasionally slowly roll on the throttle to 8,000ish for a second or 2. Wow, i cant imagine what this thing will do when it has more miles on it. Good handling, good ride and alot of fun, definitely glad i bought this thing

Kind of embarrassing especially in front of boys on Skiroul's.
It's kinda like a puppy dog.....it needs to make a few pee pee mistakes on the paper first.
Once it's house trained it will be ok...

As of now it looks lime the dealer found the issue, 1 of the wire connectors going to an oil switch/sensor was broken, which 1 im not positive as i believe there are 3, ill find out more when i go pick it up tomorrow. They are talking a chance of snow here on sat-sun so hopefully i can get it on the lake and see how it works

Had my 2018 Sidewinder out this last weekend and after 180 miles it started to overheat. Had to baby it back to the hotel and brought it right back to the dealer when I got home. Found out the thermostat melted the plastic housing.
