    Trailer Wheel Bearing Shot - NEED MECHANIC ASAP

    Hey all, we just arrived in Golden coming back from Revy. Did a walk around on the truck and trailer and it looks like a wheel bearing is shot. It was very hot and grease is poring out of it. Anyone open today that would be able to replace it. Please call my cell 780-910-6438.

    Blown Top End in 2014 Pro- What to do next and options?

    This may be a stupid question, but something I've always been curious about. Would running a can contribute to melting a piston? I'd assume that any exhaust mod would cause it to run a bit leaner and hotter, but not sure if it would actually be enough to contribute to catastrophic failure.

    Finally bought another sled!

    Well, it's been about four years since I've owned a sled and an on and off discussion as to whether I'd have one for this season since about February. As of last Saturday, I now own a 2013 800 Summit X 163" with about 2,500 km's on it. It's all stock, came with the jerry can, and has electric...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    Why wouldn’t you ever own a Sidewinder?

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    Every time I watch a video of a Sidewinder, I’m convinced it is the sled I want lol. That power just looks like so much fun and it effortlessly climbs. I watched a video of a 174” Axys in Revy and the Axys is right to the bar struggling to make this climb through powder. The Sidewinder climbs it...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    I’d love to come check it out, thank-you for the offer :), but I think I gone the last week of March. Will have to confirm dates, but pretty sure I’m away that week. Maybe riverside will let me rip one around the parking lot lol.

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    Well, I'd love to give one a try, but I can't seem to find anywhere that is renting them and I missed the Power Tour for anywhere close by. So, unless a dealer is going to let me test ride one, feeling it in the showroom is about how much of an experience I'll be able to get prior to buying lol...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    I plan to go in to Riverside on Saturday and check out the Sidewinder. I haven't even seen one in person yet, so going to do that and see how it feels on the showroom floor. I'll see if Ryan is there when I'm there. :)

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    That's just what I've seen online so far. Haven't actually gone to any dealers yet. Planning on doing that this weekend. The prices I listed out there are just the lowest I've seen dealers advertising on Kijiji for each of those sleds. $16,500 out the door seems like a pretty good deal on...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    I'd very much like to be able to test ride all of them, but I think that may be difficult. I could rent an Axys or an M8000, but I as far as I know, nowhere is renting Sidewinders. I'm leaning towards the Cat making the most sense. At $8,500, even if I bought it and hated it, I could probably...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    From a quick google search, it looks like the '16 Cats are 34.5" to 38.5" adjustable ski stance and I believe it's set from the factory at 36". I'm somewhat on a budget, but more so just want good value out of the sled I buy and just want to know that I'll enjoy it. I know I'll enjoy the 850...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    Well, was hoping this post would make the decision on what to get easier, but if anything, I think it has complicated it further lol. I've gone from just trying to choose between a Sidewinder and an 850 to now I'm taking another look at pretty much every mountain sled. I looked up some pricing...

    2017 Summit 850 165" vs 2017 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162"

    Okay, so this is going to be a fairly long post here. Apologies in advance. It has been quite a while since I posted on here and has also been a bit since I've owned a sled, but I'm looking at getting back into it. I believe 2014 was the last time I owned a sled. I ended up selling it because...

    2005 Arctic Cat M7 Thoughts and Opinions?

    Is that to say it doesn't work well with aftermarket haha? Because in the ad, the guy said that he has a tune, pipe, and can.

    2005 Arctic Cat M7 Thoughts and Opinions?

    That's good to hear!.....my friend will be carrying a 10L jerry can on his Pro RMK, so if for whatever reason the M7 does start to run low, at least we can put a bit more in it. I think this is a decent sled for the price. I sent the guy an e-mail, will maybe call him tomorrow. nice m7 must go |...

    2005 Arctic Cat M7 Thoughts and Opinions?

    So, my dad is looking at getting back into sledding, and I found a decent deal on an '05 M7. I've been doing some reading on them and overall they seem decent. However, I've read that the fuel economy was brutal. It doesn't need to get good fuel economy, just good enough that it isn't going to...

    Here's where we parked. Just at about the 2km mark on Bell. The snow sucked going up until about the 5km mark, but with the ice scratchers down, we were fine. Here's how you have to turn around if you pull up the 5km mark at Lucille. This guy only had a 23 ft trailer, ours is a 28 ft trailer...

    I was up at Lucille yesterday and at Bell today. Bell was way better, more snow, less rocks, less people. Originally we were going to do Lucille Saturday, Bell Sunday, and Lucille Monday.....we'll be doing Bell again tomorrow.

    Rode Lucille today. Wasn't too bad. Little rocky, but overall it was decent. One of the guys I ride with bent an A-Arm, but overall it was good. Spin Drift Powersports in McBride hooked us up with a new A-Arm and got it installed. Also gave us some good info about he A-Arm's on Pro RMK's...
