    My good pair of gloves I tore the palm out of on Friday, so I was down to using my spare pair. Found a decent pair of rubberized insulated work gloves at the gas station that did the job.

    Nose down on XM

    I have been thinking about putting the heavier springs on my 154 XmX. I have rode with the stock springs set at #5. I am 6'2" and 275 lbs before all my gear. Just kinda thinking with the heavier springs could go back down to setting 1 or 2 but not sure it will make much of a difference in how it...

    LinQ Tunnel Bag Falling apart

    I usually only have my lunch, water, extra layers, stove, some non life essential emerg supplies in the bag. Don't ride the whoops fast, at my size that poor suspention gets enought of a workout. To fly on whoops would just make it worse. I try to take good care of everything and to not beat...

    Nose down on XM

    I found that I had to adjust my riding style a little bit so that I wasn't trying to force the XM to do what I was wanting. Once I made some minor adjustment, it is like the sled is reading my mind. Point and go. And it will climb up just about anything.

I think that may have been to problem with the first belt, got hyped with the fresh powder I forgot to change...

    Extra venting on the xm?

    Hmm we'll that does sound like there could be some real benifits to the extra venting then if some are making that much heat under the hood. Very interesting. I will have to put my digital temperature probe under the hood and run it hard. Just to see what the temperature is like under there. I...

    Extra venting on the xm?

    Good to know I have over 600 Km on my current belt. I think that my first belt could have gone longer but I didn't keep it tensioned enough so I got a little slippage and glassed the belt at around the 700km mark. Lesson learned and I am paying closer attention to this one. I won't waste any...
