Wife is going for a race camp at Silverstar end of Jan start of Feb, I am going along and will be skiing a few days but going to bring th sled and try to get out on the weekend to avoid the lines on the hill. Any hints on where to sled and anyone I could hookup with?

Reading some of the comments from Arctic Cat in one article sounds like they are really trying to set expectations on where you should’ve be riding if you want one of these sleds. IE don’t buy it if you mostly ride packed trails or low snow conditions. Get it if you like tight trees, technical...

Found a few articles about sledding near Creston, sounds like Salmo Creston Pass is the most likely to have good snow. Going to be in the area for a week from the 10th on visiting parents and bringing the sled so want to get out. Anyone in the area that would be willing to let me tag along? Can...

Just got an email from Ralph’s, looks like the wait is over. https://www.ralphsmotorsports.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=4643208&p=1&make=arctic+cat&s=Price&d=D&vt=snowmobile&fr=xAllInventory

Have to change it but not sure how much I’ll need.

I thought I saw a thread on this, but I can’t find it. I picked up some cheap scales and I want to try setting up my sleds suspension using them, but I can’t find any recommendations on how much weight should be distributed where. I know left to right ideally would be 50/50 but what would you...

Did some searching and found anywhere from bolted to the frame to mounted inside the cab. Recommendation on the compressor is that it be kept from heavy exposure to wet and dirt so frame seems out, thinking inside the engine compartment might be ok, maybe then to much heat? Wondering where the...

Need to know the height from ground to the pivot on the steering post where the riser attaches. My winter parking this year is only 79” clearance. Thinking if I replace my adjustable post with the fixed one, and lay the bars down I will have plenty of clearance. Thanks in advance.

I know, should have bought a spring order, but finances didn’t warrant it back then. Never bought a new sled, just used from guys, or demo from dealer. If you are going to go in and try to buy this years model, at this time of year do you have any bargaining power at all? Or am I SOL and...

I have no skin in this, I currently own a AC but my next sled might be from any of the manufacturers. So the rules are, if you own an 850 post, if you own more than one, indicate how many. if you personally have had a broken bulkhead on your sled(s) include that info, if you want to, tell...

2014 M8000. I did a bunch of work on the sled this summer which involved removing the hood. Put it all back together and fired it up and am getting this warning about the air temperature sensor. So I pulled it and tested the resistance and it seems to be in spec, what else should I be...

If anyone read the articles in snowest where they updated a 2015 '8000 to the new 2016 rear skid, they mentioned that you need a new rear idler arm. This is not true, I am doing this update using the Yamaha parts as they are a bit cheaper and I ordered the pull rod and idler arm. When I...

If you are riding an M800/8000 check wth your Yamaha dealer if you are looking for parts that are shared with the Vipers. Seems that most of them are cheaper than buying from Cat.

If anyone out there has a 153/162 2015 Viper MTX they have easy access to, can you post the length of the front shock on the rear suspension? Just trying to figure out if Yamaha used the updated rail and suspension setup a year before Arctic Cat did. Thanks

Seem to recall reading somewhere that Yamaha used the new rail shape on the viper a year before AC did on the M8000. Can anyone confirm/deny that?

Thinking I would like to get an enclosed trailer, only needs to hold two sleds and have some room for gear. Would get an aluminum model to keep weight down. The Toyota is the TRD model with the trailer towing package, supposed to be rated for 7000 lbs and I used to easily haul a steel car...

Riding a 2014 Arctic Cat M8000 Sno Pro. I am doing the 36" front end upgrade and replacing the running boards. I have another grand in the budget for upgrades so what would you do next? I need to send the shocks away to get the spacer put in them so I could get the evol upgrade done at the...

Got a big plastic bin, one of those Home Depot ones that needs shipping, weighs over 100lbs so a greyhound won't take it, what is another cheap method? I will go pick it up from a depot and the shipper is willing to drop off so thinking truck freight, but hard to tell from some of their web...

Edit: alright the general consensus is "you screwed up, get over it and fix your mistake". So accepting that, and that I am going to have to rebuild the motor, probably from the crank up since the bottom end is probably damaged, give me some idea of what that might cost. And what I should be...

Going to be heading back to Calgary at the end of this month from Whistler. I want to do some upgrades to my sled over the summer, 2014 Arctic Cat M8000. Looking to do the narrow front end, new running boards and possibly clutches. Never found Ralph's to have much in the way of deals on parts...
