I hear ya but therein lies the problem. On a Maytrx XCR it’s difficult to impossible to get a siphon down into the tank to suck all the gas out. Guys would then say the tank was never completely empty when 5 gals was put in. Definitely easier to just fill the tank all the way up.

5 gals seems reasonable but would be a pain in the ass in practice. It’s way more cut and dried if there are no fluids or full of fluids. Now that I’m thinking about it, wet weight is fine, if a guy really wants to get into it you can just subtract the weight of the gas by looking up the fuel tank capacity.

My bad, you’re right. I got you mixed up with Shitbird.

They talk about all of those factors in the video. That’s why dry weight is a lot more accurate of a standard to use to compare machines. Dirt bikes used to be listed this way as it prevented bikes with big gas tanks from being penalized. However wet weight is definitely the easiest way for the media and consumers to compare machines.

But… but @Bontz @krom @EvilBird all said climate change is fake. Yay! Another mud national event. Marketing loves photos of sleds sitting on a dirt starting line and videos of mud splattered machines and riders. It doesn’t remind customers at all about the garbage winter they currently have. Snowchecks orders will be stacking up to the ceilings on desks next week.

The real reason the Midwest and east coast has had a shit winter is because of HAARP. I hopped the fence at the HAARP facility and turned a few dials, pulled some levers and BAM! No snow for you. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/weird-science/conspiracy-theories-abound-u-s-military-closes-haarp-n112576

Maybe you should use something different than Dollar Store bathroom scales to weight sleds on.

He rode more than you did no snow boy.

Tell me asswipe, how do you prove to some dipshit on the internet the amount of miles you rode in a season?

Bwahahaha! I asked you where your snow was and instead of answer the question you start posting lists and deflecting. I’ll ask the question again, this time slowly and in caps so maybe you’ll understand… W H E R E D I D A L L Y O U R S N O W G O? @krom

And you still don’t have any snow! Your trails are closed

Great link! I think I remember reading that article a long long time ago and forgot the details. I got to ride a an SP 600 over a decade ago. I remember it handled great.

Interesting. I didn’t know that. From a production standpoint it does make more financial sense to have one chassis across the line up.

If the SP 500 was so wonderful why’d they quit making it?

Is that the list where Alaska was in the top 10 six times? @krom say “See I found this random list based that says my state gets more snow than Alaska. Wait… what’s that? Oh, well no, I don’t have any snow but this list…. You see there’s this list that says I should have snow”. Where’s your snow again Krom?

Swing and a miss. I’ve got a shit load of snow @krom . Where’d your make believe 300” of snow go?

Have you completely unscrewed your clickers yet? Your sled will ride even softer if you give them a really strong twist when they hit that false stop.

Whoa! You gays have trouble with controlling your emotions. How many cocks did you choke on before your community🌈 gave you that user name?

You gotta dig deep to support the industry. If you don’t snowcheck a ‘25 you’re not a true snowmobiler. The least you could do is buy a leftover ‘23 or ‘24. If you don’t the OEM’s won’t build hardly any 25’s, factories will shut down, assembly workers will be laid off. The entire sled industry will come to a shuddering halt and then cease to exist.

You doing your part to prop up the industry? I called my dealer this morning and said I want to buy 3 leftover ‘24 Boosts. But because I want to do my part I insisted they charge me full MSRP on all three. I don’t want any late season discounts as that hurts the industry. Weird thing is I could’ve gotten a 4th sled like an SP for free with how much the Boosts were marked down so I’m not sure if I fucked myself? 🤔

Even Stevie Wonder could’ve seen the sled industry crash coming. The bicycle industry is in the same condition. Fuck’em both. Those companies were all too happy to quickly jack their prices during COVID and screw over their loyal customers. They seem to have forgotten that they sell luxury goods for a recreational market and very, very few people actually need a snowmobile or a bicycle. The only reason the auto industry isn’t in as bad of shape is because you pretty much need an automobile to live a normal life in most areas of the country.

Interesting, pretty certain this is a no bashing zone. @Doug

Sled dogs get killed in Alaska and everyone thinks it funny. Some Charlie Brown trees get run over and lower 48 people freak out. Huh… WTF?
