Who out there is running the Gates Carbon c12 with Boost? How are they working for you? I have a couple ordered up as get pretty good pricing through work. Getting short life with the stock belt (500km) with recommended boost-it clutching on my non intercooled kit. This is the same trend on this...
Noticed this year I am burning about double the oil as my buddy. Close to half the reservoir per tank. We have similar riding styles and burn similar amount of fuel. It's a 2013 with 5600 km. He has about 3000km. Do they automatically increase the oiling rate when they get high km? Kinda like...
Who is out there that has bypassed the front heat exchanger on the xm and are using it for cooling water for intercooler. Any issues with overheating engine on long hard climbs, how about on trail? Thinking about adding power freaks thermostat to help compensate for loss in cooling volume/area...
For those that have personally replaced their stator on their 800 etec. The manual says you need to lift the motor. Is this for real? I think it was to access the port where wires come through. Seems a little over the top to replace the stator. Don't have the sled home yet to confirm for myself...
Had check engine light come on couple times last weekend so I had the codes checked today. It actually shutdown couple times and was bogging at times. Anyone know how the hours work in the list. Is the highest hour number the last alarm? To put it another way the number of hours on machine when...
Why doesn't someone make something useful for us sledders. Heads up display of crucial information in the goggles. I can never see my gauges. I want to see rpm, speed, temps. I could really care less who is texting me when I am sledding. Who is with me? Who do I need to talk to so I make this...
So went to start the sled Thursday am ... it was very cold, we drove through minus 36 that morning. Pulled the sled over and it started but only on one cylinder. Was thinking is was probably fuel icing up problem, so I put some fuel line deicer in. Waited awhile, tried again. Same thing. Messed...
Hi folks, I need to replace the bushing in a QRS dalton helix. Any tips or tricks from guys that have done it before to save a bit of time an agony. There isn't much of a lip on the backside to push it out. Is there locktite holding it in place?
Anyone running one of these? Looking for thoughts/reviews/opinions as I am looking to purchase one for my 2 place tilt deck. The cost to buy a traditional hard top cover (eg triton etc) for my trailer is beyond what I am willing to spend for one. Like twice the price of what i paid for my Triton...
Anyone out there running the skidoo version of the floating secondary? If so, how much does it float? Would you do it again. In their documentation that I have read they don't seem to be selling the float part and belt life as much as it is just for easier tuning. I'm am curious if it floats as...
Hey folks,
I am going to remove and clean/insepct my primary clutch on my xm. I am sure I read somewhere that the clutch is indexed to the crank. Is this true or bs? Never heard of that before. Is there match marks on the crank? Or am I just missing something? I Always just removed, rebuilt and...
Why does the primary clutch maintenace kit sold by skidoo include the spring cup? I wouldn't think the cup is a wear item that would need replacement. Why not just the bushing inside? There must be a reason. Is the bushing ID size finished after installation in the cup?
Have a 08m1000 with all updates and slp pipeset. With my computer hooked up to pcv on sled and the software opened up, how do know if the map switch is working? When I flip the switch the map position does not change on the screen of my computer. I can see the 2 maps loaded on the pcv. Does the...
Anyone running a 08-m1000 with 09 flash with racinstation map for a slp pipe set and pcv controller? I've heard of lots of guys with 09's and they are very happy with it. If so how's it working for you. Safe? What are you getting for egt readings on long wot?
Thanks
So I put the 2.5 camo extreme on my 08 stock m1000 - 162. Out this past weekend in the deep pow of Mcbride. Figure I have gone from 45 to 40 mph in terms of track speed. Is this a result of the super deep and relatively wet snow for those parts .... or the track? How do I get it back .... slp...
What am I missing with the complexity that the manufacturers are incorporating into these things? I rode skidoo for years with the old school rave valves and never had issues with bogs. Then comes the new generation with the cheezy cables and cheap servo actuators ... more things to break...
After wrecking a few belts I discovered I need to replace a couple motor mounts on my m1000. The upper mag side is in bad shape and one of the PTO mounts is ripping a bit. Any tips or tricks to make things go eaiser when I tackle this? Also, what's the deal with 1.507 (vs1.655) offset...
