Ok so I chickened out and Paid Lakeside Motorsports to change the clutch weights and wire the 2-up seat for two reasons:

-The other dealer in MN that I bought the sled from sent me a $500 refund to use for labor and to reimburse me for my time taken the sled in

_I don’t have a heated workshop otherwise I would have!

So 10-58’s we’re in it…..They asked me about springs but I have no idea if those were changed and no one at the other dealer mentioned anything about springs so who knows….

Picked up a 2022 Renegade XRS with Smart Shox but the bad news is the controller is not in…..They are telling me it is set to the medium setting but I’m 260lbs and when I sat on it, it didn’t move much lol….

Any idea what I should expect now that the 10-68’s are in?  I did put 90 miles on 2 weeks ago with the high-alt weights…..

Thanks again guys for chiming in I appreciate it!

Thanks for chiming in as i was about to lol……hand tighten ok?  I dont think I have a torque wrench but I do have an impact lol…..

BTW I’m picking up a Renegade XRS with Smart Shox on Monday so I’m going to solve the “which rides better the Matryx or the G4 with smart shox” mystery myself over the next few weeks lol….

For the LP and UP of Mi and Wisconsin, swap/sell those stock 10-66 weights and run 10-68 weights. Out west no idea.

Hey thanks for chiming in…

I run strictly trails, mostly 40-60 mph.  Can you elaborate on running the 10-68’s instead?

Also, should i thread-lock the clutch bolts when finished?

thx

Personally I like the wooded twisties’…..I do not like riding ice at all, and frankly don’t like the ex-rail beds (too straight and I get bored).

Scenic woods…..that’s my ticket!

Mountains to me would be too much time/work getting unstuck…..and I don’t like going off-trail as I never know what lies beneath…though from time-time I’ll hit some 2-tracks now that I have GPS/won’t get lost

Yup, picked mine up last week. It’s so fucking ugly, almost embarrassed to post a pic of it. Glad I still have my ‘19. 

I hope your kidding……but wait until your first ride on a beat-up trail….you’ll be loving it then.

I drove 12 hours each way to pick up a VR1….then was lucky enough to drive through a blizzard on my way back, which allowed me to take a 30 mile back to back ride on the VR1 137” and a 2019 SB Pro-S……I made the mistake of riding the VR1 first……then I put the SB on marketplace as soon as I got home.  Ride quality, ergo’s and that 7S screen (PIDD on the 2019) is the BOMB…..but I do agree it depends on the color scheme

I don’t think you’re that far from me. I’m working some stupid hours right now but if you get too worried about it, you could bring it up and I could do it in your trailer. No big deal to swap them. 

Thanks Saya!  Maybe I’ll attempt it but look to you if I screw something up lol…….

Thanks Bontz!  And Yes, they did throw in the stock weights……and some mirrors, and the 2-up seat foot-rests….and a second set of keys LOL….NOT to mention I got a VR1 (since there is NONE available anywhere else….I wasn’t going to walk away lol….)

Ok guys I did it……I drove 12 hrs each way to pick up a used 2021 VR1 650 137” (sled has 2500 miles at a dealer in Duluth MN).

I’ve been kicking myself since April for not snowchecking, and I really wanted to ride a Matryx this season.

So apparently this dealer got a few 2021 VR1’s with 2-up seats via a rental program out west.

Obviously its too far for me to go look, so we work everything out over the phone. I ask “do you guys go through these sleds to check for damage, and make sure everything is ready to go”……”Yes” is his answer.

I get there Saturday morning, and apparently I was dealing with the GM and he is not there that day, so no one knows anything except the finance guy.  All is good on the paperwork, sign and then go to load the sled:

Sled wont start (they put in a new battery)

came with a 2-up seat, but none of the handwarmer/heated visor wires are hooked up (they fiddle around then determine they don’t have the right wire harness in stock so they will have to order it).

So probably almost an hour going through the above.

Then the sled is loaded in my trailer.  As I am about to leave, one of the guys comes up and hands me clutch weights “you might want to check these as the sled might still be set up for high altitude riding”

I must say this was one of the WORST experiences I have been through, and I spent 24 hrs driving on top of it.  The sled looks fine overall, and I did opt to go with a 4-year Polaris warranty just in case….but WOW…..I never expected to drop $$$ (yes even used it wasn’t cheap) and then now I have to wire the 2-up seat and also change the clutch weights…..in a COLD GARAGE lol………

So this is part rant, and part question about how hard is it to change the weights?  I watched a couple of YouTube videos (AXYS sleds), and one person takes the belt off and then takes the front clutch cover off, and another video they just stick something into the spring to compress it I guess??

BTW, any of you waiting on Matryx sleds…..coming back through the UP (driving through a blizzard) i woke up to 8-10 inches near where I was staying so took the sled out for about 30 miles………and frankly the sled is SWEET!!!!

Anybody know anything about this? Is it small, or what?

'I just want something to goof around the farm, or maybe some nearby trails or ice-fishin'.  

Its a full-sized chassis with a lower seat, lower suspension and a governor to 50mph i believe

Welcome to the land of the free......home of the brave!!!!!!!!!

For those of you still at HCS watch out for Mod steve5215.  Were not sure about this guy, but what we do know is he has his nose up VS's ass.  From my inside connection there he's deleting a lot of your posts and cleaning things up.

Yeah i had my one and only run in there with stevie5215.......when i objected to his actions i got the 7th grade Pansy  “oh well” responses.........

16 million who will now have pre existing conditions because of Covid.  Imagine the fun insurance companies will have denying coverage and claims in the future.
 
The cases are going to keep climbing. It took about a month to go from 50,000 cases per day to 200,000 daily cases. If the stupidity continues, that could be 1 million cases per day by Inauguration Day. In deaths you are killing more people per day than 9/11. Sure they are mostly “the greatest generation”. Most have pre existing conditions too. Grand Parents are over rated anyway. 

Any plans on when you will decide it’s important and Joe Biden should have acted sooner? Will Fox News wait until the end of January to demand Sleepy Joe do something about this serious issue.  
 

 

Haha don’t you live in Canada???  The border is closed......how about you worry about your Prime Minister training CCP Military.......Are you guys that hard up for money?????

Things so bad up there that you need to prostitute yourselves and train the people we may be fighting at one point in the future????  So you agree to train them, at the same time they are threatening your country for apprehending the Huewai executive?????

Repugs are a mess 

Apparently CNN wont share with you that TOTAL deaths are about an average year......

People Die pussy.......wear your pink hat with pride and just accept it.....

1/4-1/2 of those people were going to die anyway-days, weeks or months later than they did.....another 1/4 are probably glad they did as they couldn’t  remember what color the wall is that they stare at each day.....ever visit a nursing home?????

I keep telling you its less than 20,000 deaths for those of us living normal lives.....but you can keep up your stupid argument.....and by the way, comparing “perfectly healthy dead babies killed out of convenience” to cancer patients, “dead minds” of dementia prisoners, and other sick and miserable people dying shows just how much of a twisted pussy you are......

Who said I'm scared?

Your the one denying the virus almost 300000 dead in the usa would disagree you

How can they disagree with me if they are dead?????

Can you not comprehend????

55 and younger with average health= No real risk of death

75+ and numerous health issues= moderate risk of death...

Sorry to inform you.....covid is a virus, and a virus cannot be a plague:

Stay scared & stay in your house..........

If? We got it

??????

You think a virus that has killed less than 20,000 people under the age of 55.....in 10 months......of a country of 360 Million is a plague????

This is a purge of our social security and Medicare roles.....over 200,000 of these deaths have lived the last few years staring at a wall....

If your a healthy human being, you’d have to be pretty unlucky to die from this.  I know of a few people in their 70’s and 80’s that got it and are fine.

Because Jerry 976 is truly an ASSHOLE and Verticalscope wants to continue to let every member or guest to their site know Jerry 976 is and will always be an ASSHOLE...... 

No Jerry......I just made it my lifelong battle to get that thread deleted even if it kills me

BTW,  How does one become an “Advanced Member” with only 93 posts

I didn't ban anyone.  Who did ?  I have no idea. Probably the VS administrator.

I'll be in Minny next year.  I'd like to meet up with you.   I'm not in this for the fighting.  I'm here because some said it was a fun site to be on.   Is it ?  

Why can’t you just delete Jerry’s asshole thread???

Why does there have to be games.....just delete it and move on.....

I honestly don't understand why some of you are just purposely trying to get banned over there (or any other forum or site).  Why?  Sure seems like a lot of effort to me. 

If you don't want to continue the work...just ask me to ban you.  I don't want to but...if that's what you really want....I guess I can help you out.  But, c'mon.  Be sensible here.

I find if funny that they are deleting threads over there for forum rules violation & terms of use but they left the Hey Jerry976 asshole  thread open.

I also feel Joe Pishgar is Not a Man of his word, he told me via message after I asked several times to have my account deleted that he would have my request processed yesterday morning, all they did was deactivate my account by changing my user name and deleting my email address. I guess Joe does not know what the word DELETE means... and he's top dog overseeing VS's sites............ 

Jerry,

I posted this on the HCS thread:

“Hi Administrator,

Can you please delete Jerry976 like you agreed to (instead of just deactivating his account)??

Could you please include deleting the “asshole Jerry” thread??

Maybe you parted ways on bad terms, but he did put a lot of effort into this site over the years,,,,,,,.

Thank you.”

So maybe he will, or maybe I’ll get banned
