Now you want me to defend past sled purchases? Here's the short version, it had nothing to do with twin rail or alpha rail. Any other questions from your arm chair in the peanut gallery?

They need to gang pile all the time to feel good inside. That's all this this forum is unfortunately.

More examples of you not knowing what you're talking about. I did buy an alpha. I've never bought a high country from t.s.s. Being opinionated on things you know nothing about is just ignorance.

What do you mean?

Funny how opinionated you are about things you've never rode.

Oh crazy. I think I remember seeing those three sleds when they were introduced but totally forgot about that one till now. I'd rather go with the catalyst

Hcr? There's that hill race at Giants Ridge coming up

AC5 shocks and g8 gauge. Both also lower coolant temp.

What does the host of the podcast ride again? Nevermind carry on with the TDS as per usual.

Lot more snow in Minnesnowta

Maybe his sled ran 25 degrees cooler, maybe it didn't. If it did, maybe it had something to do with the flares and maybe it didn't. I wasn't there. I am not really commenting on that claim I am commenting on weak arguments against it that don't hold water. I'm fine if you want to be skeptical, I'm usually skeptical of claims especially if they come from the media, politicians, or Polaris.

Since they're sponsored by skidoo and Polaris, I'd assume one of them. Since not much new with Polaris I'd guess a skidoo, maybe the meth turbo, is that new?

I'm not back reading your dribble. If you have factual evidence that shows none of the snow that they deflect can possibly end up back in the track or tunnel area, I will certainly listen to it. As far as your other questions.. again, be better. Skidoo not offering tunnel flares for skidoo snowmobiles which may or may not have cooling issues or snow spray issues means absolutely zero to me and is not even close to proving anything about an issue with an Arctic Cat brand snowmobile. You're getting worse with every post, just stop. Again, not putting crap on my snowmobile because there's nothing wrong with my snowmobile. And because I don't actually care. I just want you to be better. If you can't actually disprove a claim then you're better off not making proclamations of fact that you can't back up.

Right, so "in theory" since tunnel flares are also designed to deflect snow.. Snow conditions vary by the hour, certainly in different states as well with different amounts of snow, traffic, different grooming, and different snow itself. Your one day of testing only proves they didn't make a difference for you on that day on that machine on those trails at that time with your riding style. That's it. You haven't presented any other facts in this case to disprove his claims. Name calling and sarcasm doesn't win debates. Here is more people experimenting with tunnel flares to help with cooling. It's interesting the productive discussion that can happen when people don't act like rabid dog packs. https://www.arcticchat.com/threads/tunnel-flares.480537/

I will not and don't have a dog in the fight. I just like poking holes in arguments.

Oooohhhh.. so you think deflecting snow with a snowflap helps with cooling? Interesting.

I'm not making the claim but I'm also not claiming they don't work for that. I can see a way how it's possible but I haven't tested it nor care to. But if someone did test it and had those results I'd have no reason to not believe it, I don't think he has anything to gain by fabricating this story out of thin air. You're just being tribal and you'll never grow being like that. If it was one of your friends in your internet clique group saying it you'd go right along with it. And your analogy fails. Whether the claim is true or not, the person making it has first hand experience. That's not lore that's one person's first hand experience. Again, you're trying to twist a situation to fit your desired outcome.

Yes I am capable of reading an intended purpose. Are you capable of understanding an unintentional result/side effect? Or an alternative use for a product? Never heard of such concepts? Baseball bats can be used as home defense. Multi tools. Ivermectin. Ignorant if you're going with an argument of it's not the intended purpose therefore it can't possibly have a secondary affect. I will not stand for your low IQ arguments, be better.

I'm guessing it's because the zrt got it first in 04. Didn't it come on the firecat for 05? I've heard rumors some of the 05+ zrs came threaded, but my 05 did not. I actually didn't have a problem with mine but updated it anyway as preventative. When I went to replace it the set screws rounded out and I had to drill them out, good riddance. It was a pretty dumb design. I'm sure a lot of the failures were also from owners not locking it down tight all the way too.

I don't even know what you idiots are arguing but it's funny that your types will discredit what cat says when it's convenient for you to do that, but then stick to what they say as if it's the TDS bible when it suits you in other ways. I have an 05 I bought new. It gets a good trail ride only 1&2 times a year nowadays but I keep it maintained and it's so fun to ride. Jags for the tighter twisty stuff and the 900 for the higher speed twisties. An unbeatable duo.

You can still update it, parts are through BDX like they always were. Yes the original lock collar design was less than ideal. As was the clutch calibration. Which is hard to believe because these were made in the heart of "OLD GUARD" timeline when apparently everything was always perfect according to TDS folks and the thief river was actually flowing with the squirt of all the engineers wives because the engineers were just that ungodly good. The DD zrs were way better to ride.

Funny how Internet lore becomes reality for some people. Any time someone on FB asks about zr900's, all the experts who know nothing come on and say to only get an 03 because of the chain case vs diamond drive. But they're just repeating what they've heard from people repeating what they've heard. Lore becomes reality.
