Found the missing wrench that was clipped to my belt guard under the pipe, the same wrench that i thought i should move months ago... Every bump on the trail, ching ching ching, at least it never hit the clutch...

Installed Raptor shocks all around month ago, they work great.. Took some time to dial them in for my weight and riding style - just about found the sweet spot now.. Doesn't seem to wheelie as much and really help out on a bumpy trail, faster you go the smoother it gets..

Dreaming of riding while pipelining at Cynthia, AB... Watching Boondockers9 in the Dodge waiting for a hoe to dig some ditch... sigh*

Certainly not BC Mountains, but it was alright. Today was a nice day for a walk too!

Ya im curious about the affects it may have on the T-motion....

Rode yesterday in a variety of condition from packed roads to deep fresh and I was really liking the scissor moved back!! Really helps to keep the nose down, but now so much you lose a desirable amount of transfer. Much easier to control, hold a line and allows it to be ridden more aggressively . I didn't think this was necessary or the chassis could be much better but I liked this a lot for my style of riding....I moved the rear scissor back .75". A couple other rode it for a short time and will be doing this to theirs, as their only complaint was the excessive ski lift which also leads to excessive trenching.

Do you have a pic of what you have done and is there any drilling involved?

No pics, just drilled new holes 3/4" back from where it is now common to the sliderail. Its easy, free and if a guy doesnt like it then just go back to stock holes.
Since this lessens transfer, you may want to experiment with the center shock to get the desired ski pressure and ride.

I rode her for the 63rd day. New belt finally. Running awesome......:)

What did you do to get 63 days on one belt? Leave it stock including the plastic shroud or did you add venting and clutching mods? How many Kms did you put on in that time?

Good luck with the Bumper... They're back ordered until July. I ordered a skinz bumper from Sled Solutions, it came relatively quick (About 1 week).

I have found that ordering from the BRP Online Store is soooo much faster than ordering from a dealer. The Online Store checks all the dealers "who subscribe" and have parts. Bingo, it can be had in days.

I don't know why BRP has it set up this way and why all the dealers do not "subscribe" but I like it! It isn't necessary dealer friendly as I may get something from Kelowna, Riverside, or wherever but I get it in a very reasonable time.
