    Primary Rollers

    This may have been covered before but I can't find it. Primary rollers, is that a cage the needle bearings are in that rotates with the bearings??? The reason I ask is that 2 of mine do not rotate, and with information from a "mechanic " they should be replaced. I bought one, it doesn't...

    Extended Warranty

    Did a search on here about extended warranties but not much info. I know allot of readers don't believe in them but then allot of those folk get a new sled every 2-3 years so don't worry about it. I'm of course a Doo guy but is anyone aware of any private companies that sell extended and are...

    Lazy, Not To Bright, Combo of Both????

    So, I'm sure just about everyone has seen this while out hunting, sledding or whatever, on a trail or on a road. Some trees have fallen across the road, blocking it entirely. Whats a person to do, especially when you have a chain saw along. I know, lets just cut the trees back 2" wider than...

    Don't Forget to Blow Yourself!

    I was doing the usual pre-season checklist for sled stuff and came to my avy bag. I check it every Fall, and yes, blow the air bag off. Checked it this time and guess what, no air in it!! Well, looked like about 400lbs on the gauge but not even enough to pop the cork. So, for all you avy bag...

    4700km XM Clutch Update

    Well my season has been done for a bit now but, before putting the sled to bed I figured some clutch maintenance was in order. My first debockle occurred trying to get the primary off with my removal tool from my Rev . That's right, the Rev tool fits the newer XM's, or at least it did for 3...

    509 Warranty

    Just a quick kudos to 509 and their products and especially their warranty and customer service! I recently had one of my lenses separate so contacted 509 via email, explained to them what the problem was, that I didn't have my receipt anymore but that I'd only bought the lense less than a year...

    Are Your Balls Loose???

    I was doing a little front end maintenance today, taking the ski's off and greasing up the bushings. I know allot of guys can't be bothered but if you had the bushings out from new, you'd see that BRP use's Mazola Oil or unsalted butter to grease these things, and its no wonder they'd dry out...

    Gas Hosing

    So, a drive by the local gas stations this AM in Sicahole and fuel is a buck seven. Fuel in Kamloops today? 90 fricking cents!!!!!!! If you have the PC Card for Super Store take another 7 cents off the 90, why do we continually get screwed in this town! I don't get it, our thought our local...

    BCA Link Radio's

    So I'm stealing a little bit of Big Nasty's thunder here but I think he'll forgive me, the pics attached are from him. He sent them to me a couple days ago, yup, that's him, caught up in one of those nasty tree wells. To make it worse his one foot was pinned on top of the running board and the...

    2015 Summit Clutch Maintenance

    Just more an observation than anything else for those of you who picked up a '15 last year. I was reading the other post on the floating secondary and a comment was made about the "fingers" sticking with very few kms on the sled. I wasn't going to take mine apart as it only had 1200 km on it...

    Plate Mounting for B.C.ers

    I know, this has nothing to do with performance etc. etc. but for sledders and ATVer's here in BC it is now mandatory to have your ORV registered with the Province, and this means displaying either a plate or a decal on the ORV. I know there's lot of guys who will continue "hiding" them in...

    2015 XM "Stuff"

    Just some general observation "stuff" on the X, after nearly 1000 km on it: Front ski bushings - some guys were complaining that they were junk. I had a look at them at 200 km and the bushings/bolts were dry as a bone, premature wear starting to show up, rusted, crappy factory grease I'm...

    Grooming 101 for Whiners

    So, I'll try and keep this short but bear with me at times as I rant. There have been some complainers on certain sites, whining about the condition of the groomed trails up to Owlshead and Blue Lake. For those not in the loop, they're looked after by the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club in...

    Nothing But Problems With New XM

    Well, I did the maiden voyage with the new sled today, and it was fraught with problems right from the getgo. When taking it off the truck, one of the chains on the ramp broke and the starboard side ski got stuck in between the rungs of the ramp. I had to lift the sled up to get it unstuck...
