shitty, we've been in lockdown for over to months now. We are allowed to ride, but all the warm up shacks are boarded shut. don't want people gathering in the shacks. Major fine if you get caught. enjoy! it ain't fun at all, but our numbers have certainly come down. you can thank all the selfish bastards in TO and surrounding area.

my beloved costco 91 non ethanol is now up to 10% ethanol. Happened last week she said. Of all the places that i would have thought would buck the trend it would have been costco.

that section used to be immensely popular. probably one of the busiest provincial sections in that grouping.

you be dat Doug, lol

there are only a few contributors there now. too slow, Lid2, Switchbckr, Doug maybe.

no, Manitoba. Mandated that all stations must have 91 with ethanol by end of January.

our province has mandated that all 91 fuels now contain anywhere up to 10% ethanol. In the past 91 premium fuel was always non ethanol here in Canada. I run a performance head so 91 is minimum that i can use and i've always had the resistor on non eth. Can you safely run 91 eth fuel on the 91 non eth resistor? i also add octane booster so i'm running around 93.

Rode with a guy on new year's day that had a mach1000. it was gorgeous. he only pulls it out every once and a while to ride. this thing was beyond mint. almost like he pulled it off the showroom floor. was a dog in the trails as he was always last to catch up, but on the lakes you couldn't touch it.

update to the mod now that i put on about 200 miles New Years Day. Average temp was 114 with hitting temporary temps of 131 if there was little snow. Trails weren't perfect by any means, but even in the low snow conditions, this was impressive.

for me it's more piece of mind. i run forged pistons and to have the sled run cooler is most important to me. The temperature fluctuation with the original thermo was immense. i'd be 125 all the way up to 165 with the sled pulling timing at the higher temps. And these temps were in good to pretty good trail conditions. I was sick and tired of constantly worrying about temps. The stock polaris thermo circulates 11 litres per minute whereas the doo stat circulates 26 litres per minute. that almost 2 1/2 times more circulation. I was skeptical at first, but this has really impressed me o

no need to run scratchers. i've been consistent 109-111 on most types of terrain. If i do get high, i hit some snow on the side and it drops within seconds.

that is my cooling system for my 800

so you're running under 120F now?

no, there was a bit of cutting of the original hose and splicing new hose in as well as some connectors that were required. The thermostat is now a Doo, the polaris one is gutted just for flow. The amount of coolant that is pushed through the system now is almost double per litre. The circulation is much much better.

did the scratchers and it didn't help at all. This was the ticket to keeping it cool
