    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...

    800 etec oiling - using lots

He has about 3000km. Do they automatically increase the oiling rate when they get high km? Kinda like...

    Replacing stator on 800 etec

    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...

    Heads up display goggles

    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...

    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?

    Soft top trailer enclosure

    Anyone running one of these? Looking for thoughts/reviews/opinions as I am looking to purchase one for my 2 place tilt deck.

    Skidoo floating secondary

    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.

    skidoo primary clutch maintenance kit question

    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?

    apv valves question ... rant

    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...
