My God, man, the whole point of a Polaris is that it’s skinny. If we wanted something as wide as a horse, we’d all ride Ski Doos and just give up on life.
And, Linq mounts aren’t the end-all-be-all of human existence either. I’d much rather have had the lock and ride system when I had a Ski Doo...
2200 ft-lbs would snap off a semi stud like it wasn’t even there. It would be like reefing on a nut with a breaker bar that’s over 20’ long. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I think it would be nice to go off a capacitor, wired into the key so it’s on when the key is on. And if you forgot it on overnight, it wouldn’t matter, it would discharge the capacitor and shut off. Come to think of it, there are already capacitors on the sled, i.e. fuel pump. Could it be set...
Um- over the bars snow is the whole point of mountain sledding. Anything less is a bit of a disappointment. If you want easy, stay home and ride around a field with six inches of snow. Super easy, and you'll never get stuck.
It seems there's no consensus on what a proper amount of risk is.
When I took an AST 1 course a few years ago, the instructor urged the class to evaluate the level of risk we were comfortable with: a) not be anywhere near avy activity, b) be in an avy but not buried, c) be buried but not...
Rode Saturday and Sunday- great snow, deep, really fun tree riding for us. It was warm on Sunday though and wrecked some of the snow on sun-exposed slopes. We lost a Motorfist glove somewhere on the road out between the parking lot and Invermere. If found please call (780) 220-5627. Thanks!
I spent some quality time on the phone about the Jaws pipe with Kelsey from RK Tek. He said that Greg from Jaws had pipe dimensions figured out and tested on the old Pro that made awesome power, but he couldn't get it to work in the confines of the chassis. Every time he got it bent into a...
You can get the SLP pipe without the can, $700 from Cycle Works. My buddy did it that way. Im getting the Jaws though. After doing my homework, I believe it is making more peak power, and more power over a broader range than the SLP or Bikeman. The other contender for me would be the Dyno Port...
SSI titanium can. Stock is 19.5 lbs, SSI is 2.7. Stock goggle compartment behind windshield works great for me. Just fold em in half and stick them in there- it will work, closes up nicely and doesn't hurt the goggles whatsoever. None of my buddies would believe me till I showed them. I am...
If you ride with others that have the 3", it becomes a necessity pretty quick.
3" 163 for me. 2 year warranty, no gauge- taking the $ off instead. The gauge looks cool, but it's on everything now- RZRs, etc. For the $664 they take off the price, I'll wait to buy one off a wrecked machine...
Yes. $16. A bunch of guys reported higher oil consumption with it; some had to turn their pumps down. There are enough horror stories about the tank getting sucked in from a vacuum, bubbles in the oil line, a hiss when opening the cap, etc. to convince me. Look at the flow tests that guys...
Yamaha believed that it was an impossibility to build a reliable twin with a displacement as large as 800. They wouldn't even build a 700 twin. In fact, they didn't even like having a 600 twin and replaced it with a 600 triple. And everyone knows yamaha's standard for reliability is different...
Did you measure the TPS voltage with the throttle bodies fully closed? It must be 0.700 volts in this state. Then you adjust idle until it is at 0.94 volts. Checking just the idle does no good because it is simply a reference from the fully closed position. Also, it's better to check voltage...
My pet peeve is people who "MUST SELL", but price is "FIRM". The two are mutually exclusive- you can't have both. The reality is that many people- around Edmonton, anyways, don't really know the meaning of "must sell". When you go shopping for a sled in the states, it's a whole different ball...
