I do kinda wonder how many people born after 1985 have never taken a snowmobile safety course? Based upon what I see riding at times, my guess is not nearly enough.
Do you need Wisconsin Snowmobile education?
You need education if you were born after Jan. 1, 1985, and will be riding on public lands in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Requirements
Important! You'll need your WI DNR Customer Number to complete the course. If you do not have this number visit the DNR website, or visit a DNR service center.
You must be at least 16 years old to take this online course.
You do not have to be a resident of Wisconsin to take this online course.

For Christ sake, they best have put enough cooler in these things. I just did 200 miles on the F7. Several long road runs and dirt stretches with zero snow. Not as much as a blink. My ZR8 would have melted today.
is it potentially a not enough cooler issue, or just not enough snow getting on the coolers issue? my guess is the latter of the two.
we're leaving to go riding in a bit, hard trails right now but likely loose this afternoon.

I ran the wire all day yesterday too because with Michigan weather, and my work load these past two years, I can’t seem to get enough riding in so I take everything and adjust as much as I can, without being a bother to the group I’m riding with. I was riding with the wife yesterday so I was doing a little experimenting but the riding was good too so I wanted to just keep riding. If you stop too much, the wife gets bored and will just ask to go back to the house sometimes.
best video I've found on the Mission, going to run mine without the chin curtain on today as it's going to be a bit warm.

I think that would be outstanding to see Yamaha get a 4S version of the Catalyst. Seems like a big ask, though.
heck, I'd like to see them get a 600 version... we have a good Yamaha dealer nearby. no close Cat dealers any longer. would also be fun to see Yamaha back in SX too.

Variation isn't the cause of supply issues. While planning isn't easy, they have no issues with it. When their vendors can't deliver however it means they can't either. One could have easily argue that the more variation the better as the reliance on a single vendor goes away. Either way, all of the late sleds this year were solely due to a lack of parts.
and... parts made in China.
people seem to have forgotten all this shit isn't made here

In Wisconsin, has to go through snowmobile safety first... which I'm fairly certain is much older than three. When I had to do it in the early eighties you had to be twelve

The trail was a freshly groomed in that area and we had been idling during a stop. I was not using scratchers and should have been. A minute or two in the power next to the trail cured it and it didn't reoccur again (the trails got really rough after that). You can actually see me running on the edge of the trail to kick up some powder - I didn't intentionally include that footage, it just worked out that way.
This Riot had the 1.75 track on it. I think air temps were in the low teens, which was 15-20 degrees cooler than the day before.
My Riot would've probably done the same thing. It's weird - the colder it is, the more likely mine will run warm.
I didn't think to report that incident to the mechanics, because I figured it was "normal", compared to my Riot. In hindsight, I probably should have. We were trying to report any anomalies to them, since these were the first Catalysts off the line.
Yeah, the concern about the big bore crossed my mind, too. If they don't increase cooling capacity, that could be a problem.
yes, I saw you dipping off the side of the groom and from my own experience cold and hard conditions are more likely to cause liquid cooled sleds to overheat. fan cooled, the complete opposite. interestingly (to me) on both the RXC and Polaris XC race sleds they are allowed to add additional ventilation (holes) to the plastic body panels to aid in cooling. on my toy sled after burning it down I added and took every measure to aid in reducing under hood temps and deliver as much additional snow/ice to the coolers as possible. pdp vents, and yes... I hated drilling holes in the panels but as stated, all measures were taken.

@ZR6000RR is a moron, who doesn't even understand the word "all".
If it wasn't for nepotism, he would never have gotten a job holding a stop sign.
I'm pretty sure he is such a fucking moron, he doesn't realize that his salary, and plenty of other data is public. Places like the county website and https://govsalaries.com publish that info for every employee
that's the funny thing, I could care less what he or anyone here does for a living, what they make, how they dress or what they drive or ride. character, more importantly is easily judged by ones commentary, actions and words. the vast majority of what the character we're discussing is primarily insulting, foul and derogatory towards nearly everyone on the site. my grandfather used to frequently say... judge a man by the quality of his character first and foremost because everything beyond that is just superficial bullshit.
So anyway, we going to see a blue Catalyst next week?

@p51mstg... about the overheating of the Riot on your ride. what were the trail conditions and temps when you were riding it and it overheated? did the techs make any adjustments to the sled while or after it occurred? was it the 1.6 Cobra or 1.75 track? of the overheated and ones with engine issues I recall from ACTR a while back most were 8000 Riots ridden in hard/cold conditions and likely without scratchers. So, my question/concern would be that if this happened to you on (pre-production) 600's... what's going to happen when there's a big bore in them during imperfect conditions and the user isn't scratching and getting snow on the coolers?
edit: while rewatching the video again just now, I notice quite a bit of snow blowing out under the flap on the rider in front of you. this was the same thing I found recently on my brothers RXC when his was running warm. turning the torsions down to setting '1' kept more snow from blowing out underneath. this was a temporary solution in his case, not where the springs should be set for his or my weight or riding style.

I am very good at my job. I just dont care after work with dip shits like you. From part time till now, 40 years of service to highway construction. From Gravel roads (your roads) to paved highways (you have no clue) to Bridge construction, and safety inspection. You? Bubble gum wrapper is my guess.

What? I think you answered the true question. While is shallow. Gambling? My brother? Tax payers money? I don't gamble, my brother got a great deal and I do my job 150%! Are you high? I know already that you have zero brain function. Just fuck off already. Lots of likes on all forums as well. You can look. Not brain surgery.
as I asked you previously, would you talk the way you do to me or others in the manner you do in person?
I highly doubt it...

Obviously not as many a you. 2010 sleds outdated. Parts scarce. Can't afford new? Nothing wrong with that. Just being stupid? That's just wrong.
says the guy who considers investing 'gambling'... and relies upon taxpayer dollar teet suckling to pay his entire way through life? when he's not screwing over his own brother...
I can and do get parts all the time, but probably not from your dealer.
you epitomize the phrase stupid... but we've been down this path over and over.
you're a moron and no one here, on AI, ArcticChat or HCS likes you, and you're not intelligent enough to realize why... are you?

yes... @fortune46x might be able to provide more info but from what we see of the Ctak vlog he comes off as well liked, humble and funny. especially enjoy his interactions and encouragement for the young racers. I'll root for guys like that all day long no matter what they're riding or finishing.
games are about to begin, they're doing rider introductions...
