Maybe they could throw some dogs out on the track to slow those Poo's down

Interesting. Esso (corporate) told me early last year they had stopped making non ethanol gas as per the government. I must of spoken with someone that had no clue. I'm in the Fenelon Falls, Ontario area. Looks like this would only be available in Northern Ontario. Way to far for me to go. I'm more concerned about the ethanol for my outboard than I am for the sled.

Yes there is. I can't get any unless I drive 2 hours.

None around me. After Ultramar stopped making it I went to Shell who then stopped, then on to Esso and they stopped. Can you tell me which company and what town you find this at.

I have searched like crazy and can't figure out what to do. I don't really want to run out and buy a new silencer if I don't have to.

A week ago I cleaned my chain case and noticed a rattle in my silencer. This was loose and is now not in the silencer. The springs holding the silencer to muffler aren't under much tension, and there is definitely a gap around the pipe where it goes in. Where this gap is a ton of exhaust comes through, in particular at lower RPM's. This of course makes riding really painful as I chew exhaust. So bad that after a ride I left my pants/jacket in my truck and you can hardly sit in my truck. Definitely not healthy. It also seems louder than usual which I don't like.

Any ideas on what I can do?

That fully explains many of your moronic posts. That coupled with the washer fluid consumption. Wonder how much help you will get with all the friends you have made here

That kind of sucks that you have to use ethanol fuel.  It's worse fuel that doesn't store as well and most places I go the 91 is non oxygenated.

In Ontario there is no longer non ethanol fuel. Until then that is all I used in my toys and yard equipment. In any case I would never burn less than 91 anyways. So from an ethanol perspective it is not even a decision anymore.

Doesn't matter, the Cat is built for the average rider where 99% ride as is. Not everyone wants to exceed 50 mph

My, my, my… just look at the total ownage here on this list of stupid fucking people: @HSR @Tommcat @MnDean @Tripleflipper @krom @Deephaven @EvilBird @Crnr2Crnr @mnstang @Sled_Hed @Bontz @Not greg b

Congratulations, you dumb fucks are all too stupid to serve on any jury. 
Justice is served to the asshole Polaris “factory rider”. Polaris is also getting charged. 
 

Go keep defending the asshole who killed three dogs because he couldn’t ride for the conditions on a PUBLIC trail. I hope Erik Johnson gets fired over this and Polaris pays out the ass.

I don't have any issue with charges brought forward. Unlike the washer fluid guzzling fucking moron that you are I waited for the final results of the investigation. Charges by the way do not mean conviction. Now like normal folks I will await the verdict unless Poo pleads guilty. The fact that you continue to stalk us normal folks on this site regarding this story sure raises questions about your mental capacity. Ownage WTF is that

The other two had their crap 4" carbides on as well...

Doesn't suit his agenda

Interesting that these fellows didn't rate the Cat as You Know Who does. Guess having more than 6 miles on a unit gives you a better picture.

For the average trail rider suspension calibration would be the first thing then the clutching. You really don’t notice how bad the catalyst actually rides until you ride it back to with something else. My Polaris is way smoother than my catalyst at any speed or any sized bumps. I would assume the atac models are better than the info I have 

There's a fella on here who swears by the Catalyst. Says it's the best sled in the industry. Said it absolutely blows the Poo 650 models away. Looking forward to an excellent response from him on this subject. He should be able to provide real life info as I think he said he's up to 6 miles on his.

Can't wait to see 12 miles....

That's probably equivalent to 300 miles for you know who. Another couple of weeks of mild weather here. Got me 260 miles, did that in 3 days before the warm and rain took away most of the snow.

in 6 miles lol.

Maybe you exceeded the 50 mph limit that some on here have, no wonder their shit lasts

I'm wondering if AK is going to be put on suicide watch when the Polaris factory rider not only doesn't get criminally charged, but also doesn't lose his job.  The outrage will be real!!

Maybe AH will ambush him with his imaginary sled

The musher states in the article the guy and group that hit him were “hauling ass”. So, until you post something, anything from a source that was there that states otherwise ya just got owned.  

You are one stupid washer fluid guzzling waste of skin. Based on the original report that this post was based on there were no charges nor blame being laid. Like a normal person I wait for the results vs flying off the handler looking to lay blame. If this guy gets charged for doing something illegal after a full investigation, throw the book at him/her. But until the full investigation is complete it's just words. Now why don't you go Fuck Off or ride that imaginary sled of yours

Will that sled fit in an enclosed trailer with that Huge Windshield or do you have to take it off?

With a huge windshield like that he must have to hold that thing to the bar to get his 50mph

No snow so maybe 5 miles. 

And yet you say the Catass is the best thing on snow. 5 miles and 30 minutes of riding and you are an expert. LMFAO You wouldn't know a good riding sled if it bit you in the ass.

maybe carry a big ball of yarn just in case? 

Meant as sarcasm from the intro of the Poo 850 days, when some not to be named high tech guru went off the deep end, again more sarcasm

Not sure which is worse, the critter shown in the clip or polar bears.

How can this be???

If conditions there are anything like here, then very little snow is my guess. That being said, someone on here claimed they were sold out far before any snow had arrived.

I hadn't seen that video before, but I think it's footage from last spring.  I don't think our neighbors to the north have any more snow than we do right now.

On the OFSC website there are 2 short stretches of trails marked as yellow, that's generally borderline passable. One south of Kapuskasing and the other near Hearst in Ontario. Not worth the effort to go. This week end weather forecast should help. I'm personally located on Sturgeon Lake near Fenelon Falls, Ont. Lake just froze a week ago and there is a whopping 1" of ice. This could be the worst start to a year ever.

Mike isn't exactly a fan of those shocks...

But AC was retailing them for $99.95, before jumping the prices on them..  I'd venture a guess that they cost less than $15 to manufacture at that time given the number of times they got marked up (manufacture to ac, ac to dealer, dealer to customer)

years back one of the parts folks accidentally told me how little they paid for a 2 stroke 90 atv piston....  it was under $5

Worked for a large Japanese electronics company before I retired early. Ran the IT department, and in one of our pricing modules there was code that took the landed cost of parts and multiplied by a factor of 20 to come up with a retail price for our dealers. Nice mark up

He's in a competition with Jimwit. Jimwit was far out in the lead up till a couple of weeks ago. Now neck and neck for the Most Dumbass of The Year Award. Couple more gulps of washer fluid and he takes the lead
