What Did You Do To Your Sled Today???

I put on a set of ProTaper handle bars with a twist/thumb throttle. The throttle is great for long rides, when you start to get a thumb cramp just push the button and it unlocks the twist grip and you have a twist throttle.

Is your "twist/thumb throttle" heated and do you think the twist section might freeze-up?

Post a picture for all to see, please.
 
Started the day by putting together my new shop press, pressed drivers on my new driveshaft, pressed in new bearings in the chaincase, and finally went to my buddies bodyshop to see how the paint came out on my body panels.

Good luck getting your sled started in -25c on that battery :tg:
It wont even try to turn over..
have you tried this battery?

I have a ballistic battery in my sled. Same technology. No good in lower temps.
You will have to try many times to get her started once it gets colder than -5c.

Low weight, but it comes at a price.

Lithium batteries do not work for crap in cold weather. You'll have trouble. It's been we'll documented.
 
Changed the oil- full syn yamalube 0w40, chain case, new OEM battery, greased jack shaft/speedo bearings, filled the air bag in the M20, adjusted the newly Hygear rebuilt/revalved fox floats. Just need to change the clutch springs and she's ready to go.....can't wait. :jump:
