Not sure why it's gone suddenly. I'll have to re-upload it. Damn technology.

 

[Yellowknife]

Should work now. Go back to link in my original episode ten post.

What's with all those Quads and sleds at the mine? Are those abandoned and if so what's stopping people from getting free toys? haha

(note, I am not talking about stealing from the mine, if they're abandoned I don't think that counts)

Keep them coming and be safe.

Looks like a mining camp, I don't think they are easy to get out of where they are during the winter. probably without ECM as well as key+batt so to remove them would take some serious effort. They cant be driven out I would bet even if they ran.

They aren't abandoned at the moment but they may not see use again. Most folks don't go near this place, it's too far out of the way. If someone wanted to, they could steal them.

Well apologies for the delay as I was in Ontario for two weeks watching their snow disappear and go straight from sleding to summer.

Here is the next episode:

Yellowknife, I remember in one of your VIDS you talk about using a hammer to change the belt. I was going to make a VID to show you how easy it is to change a belt on a Yamaha but I found that someone else has already done one.

I wish my secondary spread that easily...

I use a wrench on one of the helix bolts. It makes a great lever and takes the pain out of belt changes. I keep the wrench that fits, in the storage area on the sled.

 

[VectorLTX2012]

I use a tool I purchased from someone on this site that I bolted on to the secondary and it makes changing the belt a span.
