  1. Does anyone have access to a skidoo buds system or know the mobile buds repair guy"s phone number. I just rebuilt an etec and need to have the computer switched in to break in mode, valves synced, and the oil pump purged all electronically, don't have the time to drop off the sled and leave it for a week.

  2. Hey,

    I have a 2010 Polaris rush 600. motor is blown and I have traced the fuel injector wires on the PTO side upper injector.  The 2 wires have been rejoined with a wire connector. It looks like the belt blew up and ripped the wires, the previous owner reattached the wires but I guess he didn't do a good job because the pto side over heated, my guess is the injector did not get the proper amount of current from the patched wires. I don't want to rebuild the top end only to have it blow up on me.  Can you swap out the harness and injectors with the motor in the sled? 

    does any one have any ideas on what to do, ? you can't just buy 1 injector harness, need to buy all 4  ideas? comments?

    my injectors are good, just have patched wires

  3. Michelin x ice 2

    yokohoma ice guard 51

    Hankook I pike rw11

     

    in that order. I hear the blizzaks are the best but wear out fast... tinker evidently did not like them...Tinker can you comment on the snow and ice grip?

    this will be the last year on the Hankook, then I will be looking for Michelin's next year. I drive a f150 and around 40000km per year. 

  4. OMG the price of used seadoos, sellers want huge money for piles of shit. People want almost full price for skis with engine damage or major issues.  I guess sleds aren't any different come fall. I guess it is good in one way as I sold my jet boat for way more money than I was expecting

     

    WATCH OUT if you are on your phones while driving. The cops are driving a full size white chevy van with ladder racks on the roof, also driving a black chevy truck 1500 crew with a cap on it... guess who is driving in uniform with undercover flashing lights on the front and back

  5. I went in the winter to baview wildwood a few years back and yes the train was obvious.

    It is the wife(girlfriend) that doesn't want to cook, she want a real vacation...

    Well, I'd like to see the abolishment of the free weekend. At the very least, make it so that a sled will qualify one year then have to wait 2 years to qualify again. The whole idea was to let people try the trails and buy a permit the following year. Not for people plan their trail riding around one free weekend.

    It should cost a minimum of $100 to be on the trails. What the hell does $70 do for the system once the permit processing is done, much less $35.

    I'd like to see the season pass be $250 on early buy and $350 for late purchase. But we need to be able to enforce it or we will just create more freeloaders.

    The pass has been too cheap for too long.

    Did you not read that we put this thread back on track?

    if everything is done electronically, cost are kept down for passes. I have to trail pass 4 sled for 1 day as I don't have a cottage and I want to get out with my family. forget all the other costs which are considerable. for the 2 times a year I can get away with my family it really add to my daily bill 4x$70 for a day pass. $35 would make it more reasonable for a day trip. otherwise I will wait till simcoe freezes and just go and ride the lake and canals for a few hours(not as fun as trail riding) I like to use the free weekend to go away and get 2 days of riding in. my kids love it. now tell me you don't or have never used a loop hole in your favor...

    you are on the opposite side of the coin as me, but if you push out some of the marginal riders, along with aging riders, loosing trails, all in costs and bad weather, short season... you will slowly kill this sport and everyone will switch to atv's. Quebec saw the light and made a decision to look ahead and  to strengthen their trail system where they could. 

    I see the dilemma in business, you have a contractor who charges very high money and does less jobs, he is successful,(keeps costs down, less jobs)  but there is also the contractor who charges less and does more jobs, probably higher costs but is also successful. in good times,  good economy floats all  boats, in slower times some boats sink, yes you can drop your prices to adapt. but home repairs are a need, not a want. in sledding lowering the costs in bad times will not work because  you will have drove marginal riders out and demographics are not in ofsc favor

  7. back on topic

    I would like to see a 1 day pass at @$35, instead of having to buy a $70 pass

    bring back free family day passes

    I was driving in Quebec the last week end in feb. lots of trails run beside the highway from montreal up to Quebec city. sleds wiping by 100 kph, ATV trails run right beside the sled trails. I saw more groups of atv and SxS on the trails than sleds. the same was evident driving all through the province. that should be an option for the ofsc also. I feel that an atv is not the same rush as driving a sled... you are still getting out and having fun with friends or family

  8. Does anyone have a few used old, dead or ripped tracks for the inside of a trailer for sale?

    what about an old truck bed liner?

    close to the GTA

    I need to do the inside of a new trailer

    Don't cheep out Aaron. Drive a few extra hours to lac st Ann Qc, club Meekos just north of Mount Laurier.  Great place for family and old lady. Close To Ski hills Including MT tremblant.  

    I have been to Quebec twice this year buying sleds. 6 people and a dog on short notice was to much. I got through to hali forest and got a cabin (dog friendly) for a weekend including trail passes. which is great because I didn't buy ofsc passes.

    Does your friend ride?

    The drive from Newmarket to Orillia shouldn't be too bad, might be something you can look at too!

    he use to, but I will buy him a beater sled in exchange or keeping 2 trailers there

    Did you move or buy a chalet? 

    A friend bought a place close to the Toyota dealership and I will be leaving my trailer there. so it might be a great place to leave from

  13. when my kids were that age I got them a indy trail - 488 fanner. great sled. any of the 90-2000 indy trail - fan - 440- 340 are good solid machines, lots of used parts available. cheaply. don't buy something expensive because trees jump out at the kids and accidents happen. early 90 phazers are also light and seem to last forever
