Sledhead Chat Thread

Yeah I gotta thank Rob Duckering for putting me onto it. Belonged to his pal, one owner bone stock sled and you could tell immediately he took care of his stuff. I feel like both parties were pleased with the deal (plus he shared his Coors Banquet, hell of a guy.)

As for learning to ride the "new chassis" I've been on an XM a handful of times and I already know it'll be an embarrassing couple of first rides haha.

Pray to Ullr for snow!

Brought my two 2014 summits home from storage. Started both....2 stroke smoke is awesome.
A little work to be done and then I’m ready to ride.

I can't stand the smell of my XM,.. it must be the BRP oil. It burns everyone's eyes like a mofo and the smell is not that great.

Company here sponsoring the AST1 is doing the same thing for the class. Maybe I can get refunded twice?

I ran AMSOIL in my REV and that **** burnt the eyes and nostrils. Especially after I did the bottom end in it and upped the oil pump a little.
Could hardly stand in the trailer warming it up in the morning.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Mine always have some smoke but so much better than the older 2003-2008 rev's

I burn Yamalube in the cats and it smells delicious.

That’s not your oil it’s the cooker that smells good.

And just like that, I'm back in the saddle.
Man not having a (mountain) sled last season sucked so much I just couldn't stand another winter without. Ran up to Edmonton tonight and nabbed this '13.
Haven't been on S&M for the better part of a year, what'd I miss?

A whole bunch of whoring is all you missed........you will like the '13. They were awesome. When those were coming out, my wife and I got invited for a demo ride in Eagles and after the ride there was no way I was only buying one!! She loved it and the handling was great. You will enjoy I am sure.

The 2017 G4 165 got delivered to Alberta today to a very deserving rider.

 

[ferniesnow]

Even got lucky and found a great snow blower on sale at Lowes. It was a good trip.

Here's hoping we have a real good season in store!

I'm already contemplating installing the "t-motion delete" bushings in the skid however haha.

Ride it first and see how you like the way it handles.
