Z the Sargent Schultz of HCS. I see nothing, I see nothing.

We were at the Elvoy last Friday good times and trails we better than I expected. Going to Houghton tomorrow. Couple of my riding buddies got a Lynx to ride past couple days. All said it's more of a crossover sled and strictly trails liked their own sled better between Renegades and XRS's

I'm undecided right now between a VR1 850 137 or XCR 850 136. Either way will be red with black tunnel and red rails with 7S ride command and 1.35 Cobra track

Come on MADCATTER'S where is the enthusiasm here. 60th year anniversary, BNG and a rebirth of Yamaha's power steering. Ranstad need to pay a visit that there is nothing more needed and that power steering is just over the top.

I'm debating between the VR1 or XCR or just ride mine for another your. Probably going to get my wife a 650 VR1 cause she likes the blue and white and that's only available in a VR1. Happy wife I get to snowmobile every weekend during the season 👍

So you going to get back into the game?

I see Trickey Rickie is going tilt again in the Assault 1150 mile report over there.

There goes the entertainment.

It's nice to feel DIrty once and awhile or were you thinking Yamaha

Lol you may be called into service the way that thread is going. 🤣

You also need to delete HCS out of your cookies first

Old New graphics and power steering. Let's give Yamaha its credit.

My 2019 had 3900 miles on when I traded it. Regular customer to my dealer purchased it and its still going. Still has warranty on it so he's not concerned.

This one has 4600 miles and no issues and my 2021 has over 2500 no issue

The hottest trend in Snowmobiling for next year. Power steering

Went to our place up Nth to check things out since we haven't been up there since December ride if the trails looked good. Was plenty surprised how good the trails looked on Friday so rode Wisconsin and into Michigan. By time we got back you could see trails were getting soft and starting to burn off in Wisconsin. Rode Saturday from Wisconsin to Iron River Michigan, Sidnaw, Ishpeming, Republic, Amasa and back. Still good snow in Michigan but towns and trail crossing were getting burn off. At this point I wouldn't drive out of our place but trailer up to Michigan. They're call for 2-5 inches of snow but then temps of 40 all week. 502 miles for Friday and Saturday's ride 2800 miles so far for the year

Stock and also change the rod bearing as long as its apart.

The power steering until looks rather large

Hey Z there's a cleanup in the Matryx forum on HCS. Guy posted sled went down 700 miles with a puddle of oil unearth it. Polaris sucks, my seasons over etc, etc. Ends up it was the oil cap so he would like the thread deleted.

That figures I was always reporting you for your bully mod tactics. Didn't know you were reviewing the reports and just deleting them. Maybe I should have gone right to the top and had Creepy Joe open up an "Investigation" 😂

Feel bad for you Don hopefully your getting some riding it

They tried hiding the General forum so you had to be a member to see it and now brand specific forums are turning into the General forum.

Rode my wife's sled (2020 XC 137) all last weekend because of the taller windshield and below zero temp. It's my old sled so I set the suspension up close to what I had it at. Ride wise they handle similar but the Matryx does handle the rougher trails better. I could have turned the suspension up on the XC but didn't want to deal with it in the cold. I did put hi/lo adjustments on the shocks of the Matryx and the XC also has hi/lo shocks on. The new gauge on the Matryx makes the PIDD look old and the ease of reading the new gauge at speed is nice. Paging through the different screens with the hand controls was easy. The handle bar warmers on the Matryx is a big hit for me. Even with the taller windshield on the XC I had to put the gauntlets on where I've ridden the Matryx in 5 below and didn't need them. I have trouble keeping my hand warm. What I did like more on the XC is my knees were not hitting the cowling as bad as they do on the Matryx.

He missed a culvert that was well marked. We haven't been to our place up Nth since December. May as well ride around home and wait until it melts then start going up Nth. We'll have all our trails groomed by Thursday and I don't work Fridays in the winter so time to ride.
