High prices and interest rates are definitely factors, but the complete lack of snow anywhere east of the mountains is really crushing demand. First time in 25 years that we’ll probably take the quads to the cabin for Christmas. If I were selling, I’d take any reasonable offer anywhere...

Better have a diplomatic and calm face to face with the owner and foreman to start over. Each of you had their reasons, but starting off a project like this on the wrong foot is a recipe for disaster.

These have got to be some of the highest mileage sxs out there.

Excellent question snopro. Here's what I found after some digging. Once an agreement is made that the seller will sell "item" to the buyer for $, it is a legal contract. Buyers do tend to have more rights or favouritism from the legal system in case of dispute. In this case, the seller...

Cancel the cheque and walk away. Nothing has changed hands at this point and with the seller changing their mind, your not going to get anywhere. The larger nh3 tanks aren't common to see listed, but there will be more tanks that come on the market. The seller likely received information on...

A simple way of testing the master cylinder is to clamp a vise grip about halfway between the master cylinder and where the brake lines enter the body near the handlebars. Since the flow is blocked, applying the brake will result in a solid feel if the cylinder is good. More than likely...

What position is your front skid in? Look where your ankles are. The top hole is for less transfer and where the pro rmk comes with. Drop it down to the bottom hole for more weight transfer.

It really depends on your trails on how useful or entertaining the twin cylinder really is. When I had my 1000, most of my trails were either too rough or narrow to really open it up. Unless your trails are road like, its more just blipping the throttle and spinning the tires. You'll always...

I'm not so sure that the market will crash and burn in the next 6 months like many are speculating. The main reason used snowmobiles have been depressed price wise is that there has always been a fairly good selection of new, non current models bridging the gap between new and used. We also...

Yes, Qtrade charges 8.75 per trade irregardless of the amount traded. So its a good idea to purchase or sell in amounts that minimize this cost (+/-$500). Also, there is a quarterly fee of $25, but it is waived if you have more than $25,000, add $50-$100 each month by electronic transfer, or...

I’ve had a couple different enclosed trailers. For hauling a variety of items such as sleds, quads, or moving items, the 8.5 wide is definitely a better choice. It just works better unless all your hauling are sleds with narrow ski stance. My first trailer was also shorter and it only took a...

Trail riding: There's a few clubs that have started grooming, but be aware that trails that are groomed are only average condition and would still have some early season dangers. I'm almost thinking clubs were looking harder at the calendar to get some trails in for funding/christmas traffic as...

In the north east, open fields are pillowy smooth. Found probably the best powder I've seen in years. At minimum waist deep snow and really had to watch where you stopped otherwise you were stuck, even with the >146'" tracks.

Don't forget the new 36-38" react front end.

I was riding down the trail on my assault and jumped off a small 2' drop, the rear track shock wouldn't rebound and stayed fully compressed. Lifted the rear end and kicked the skid to release it. It was rather cold (-35) and i initially blamed that. Worked fine the rest of the day. Next day...
