Plus there are no dealers so by the time I have a case shipped to me it ends up costing 50 bucks a gallon...Dominator it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's what Indy Dan recommends. I just open my wallet for the ctec2 stuff from Cat. Think I'm buying two cases next year at Haydays. Hoping 6 gallons covers me for this year but it's going to be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company was either bought out or they sold it to Legend who say they changed one ingredient in it to make it even better (I call B.S.) then they doubled/tripled the price of it.

In a few years you'll realize you're old and buy something more sensible Given the choice, I'd never have another oil injected sled. So pouring things into a gas tank is tough for you? When I start looking at "sensible" purchases, I'm too old to sled...or live. 6 hours ago, racinfarmer said: Could be worse. He could be trying to trail ride the old open mod sleds. I've seen a couple guys attempting to do it over the years. Yeah, I've seen a couple too. There's a reason you can find a $20k sled for $3500 bucks. Hopelessly unconvertable. But still, be fun to run it until it burned down on the trail. Fun: trying to turn your sled around in a tight space when the clutch engages at 6400 rpm.

I snapped a clutch spring on my pro r in Maine the end of last yr. Ended up at a small privateer working out of his barn. He put the only spring in he had. Sold it this yr to a dude who said he will be riding goatpaths. As he was ready to drive away I mentioned " hey , ya may want to change that clutch spring" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I looked mildly retarded trying to ease the clutch into engagement as it grabbed and lurched forward three of four times before I could make the turn. Almost took out my own fucking mail box!!! Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty disappointed when I found out it could no longer be purchased but then elated to hear Legend was basically the old Produmax, until I seen they doubled the price of it!
