Rode Allan and Clemina on the weekend, snow was hard as a rock, I wouldn't recommend riding the trail up to Clemina (Allan is still good) but we had a great time, took some newer riders out and had sun the whole trip, nice way to end the season.
I agree, if its a four stroke lol. Cant swing a dead cat around the parking lot without hitting a broken down two stroke now a days! I grabbed a 2023 G5 turbo and added a year warranty, makes sense to me but when thats up then what? Sell for cheap or roll the dice and hope it makes it another...
I was in Lahaina a couple days ago, pretty crazy how much of that town burnt down, was talking to some locals there and they think at least 10 years to rebuild the town. I looks like nothing has even happened yet but they are clearing some residential lots.
Ya just spent a week on my Gen 5 turbo expert, I feel like it needs shocks but there was that hard layer under the snow so I am sure that made it worse than it really is. Might be able to live with the rear skid shocks but I think I need something beefier for the fronts
I just bought a used 2023 doo, I was on the fence between it and the boost. I could have got a brand new boost OTD for cheaper than I got the used skidoo for. Pretty crazy how many 2023 polaris sleds are sitting at dealers. They are dumping them for cheap
Anything else I should be grabbing for this sled? All updates and recalls are done, it has a tki driveshaft retainer in it. Anyone put a lightweight can on one? Some weight savings to be had there for sure. Might throw a shorter riser on it.
I am picking up a G5 turbo doo on Friday and heading straight to the hills, anyone have a rough idea on what tools a guy needs to pack on these sleds? I have almost everything I would ever need on my sidewinder and like to be prepared if needed. Thanks.
Well in the sidewinder the belt drive was a big upgrade, there’s a reason the other two manufacturers went to a belt drive as well. Polaris has had one since 2013 it’s not just a fad. I’m trying to figure out what sled I want next but in the meantime I’ll work on trying to ride my Yamaha harder 😉
The first thing I would do if I bought a G5 is put a belt drive on it, you need to make sure your belt tension is correct and they should never blow. Im on my third season with the belt drive in my sidewinder and the belt looks new,. I noticed a difference as soon as I installed it. Might not...
