Anyone have performance plans for their sled this summer? After one season I have the boost bug. Currently using Hurricane's Hindle exhaust and Super Tuner weights which worked well but plan on a 240R re-flash for next season as well as a JT 4th wheel kit.
 
Going to the new 1" SRX track with 144 1.5 Studboy lake racers and 22-37 gearing for next year.
 
Some of these are already completed but summer plans are as follows for my ltx le
1.) Storm 150 track
2.) Woodys gold digger studs
3.) 24/50 gearing from 21/41
4.) TD gap flasher with max 16 for stock muffler and powertrail for aftermarket muffler. Maybe another tune or 2 in the mix
5.) Blue front nose cone (modified to fit the barn of parts intercooler guard
6.) Skinz shorty adjustable brake lever
7.) Painting front bumper white (srx color ques)
8.) Mess free oil drain hose
9.) Right lower side panel rivnut install for easy removal
10.) Routine maintenance and inspection
 
Every year I tell myself that enough is enough and the sled is set up just the way I like it, and then someone posts a thread like this one:)

I've tried, but every year I end up looking just like this guy....

My summer mod plans? To sell atleast one of the two that I have. Don’t matter which one, but I suspect the 18 RTX 50th that my wife drove last winter will sell the easiest. Both sleds are on their original belts and the only issue I experienced with either was the oil reservoir seal failing on the 18 RTX. We got 6 feet of snow up here this winter and it was too much for these heavy 4 strokes. I’ve Spring Ordered a 19 Assault 850. The Yamaha dealer and Yamaha Canada pissed me off too much to forgive and forget. Oh ya, I also just bought a new 18 Honda Pioneer LE side by side. I used to own two Yamaha Grizzly ATVs. “Karmas a Bitch, isn’t it".....

See ya! I’m tired of listening to you whine like a little girl.
 
My summer list includes a oil change and replacing a few worn out steering bushings and a handwarm my dealer warranted for me. Plus a damaged aluminum belly pan that somehow got ripped trail riding? Send out my shocks for Cannondale to refresh and thats it. I love my current set up no mods needed this year. I'm looking forward to riding with all the TY friends and family next season.
 
Ordered my hurricane tune bundle and trail kit :jump: . I am going to gear up to 21/41 so if anyone has a good used B/W chain gear set I am interested. Going to try to fabricate a CAI like Rockerdan. Speedwerx vent kit along with my own venting. Changing my drivers and track to a 1.5 ripsaw 1 -2.52 pitch, every 3rd window clipped, a rear 4 wheel kit, with vespel siders. I love my sled so hoping to make it even better.

If your going to change tracks, get it fully clipped.
