He wants a mountain sled and I want a flat land sled. And with the prices of m8's right now and with mine being such high mileage, it is hard to flip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Yes it will be my only sled. But unfortunately I won't be riding a whole lot. Alberta trails a really limited and I don't know anybody that trail rides. There is one poker run that some guys I know do other that that, everyone heads to the mountains. So for a weekend they take Friday off work, drive 6 hours West, sled half of friday, hotel, sled Saturday, Hotel, drive 6 hours home Sunday. It is a $400 weekend not including missed pay for Friday or if you break anything. I just cant do that at this stage of the game. I am looking for something to beat around in the fields and goat paths with the odd trail ride thrown in. Edited December 11, 2017 by Tomas.

I've ridden newer sleds from every brand, but I still prefer the RR. Here's what I've done: 1. Changed jetting to 410s. If I ride aggressively, I average 8 mpg. If I'm cruising steadily, I average 10 mpg. 2. Added a Mountain Addiction rack system with a 3-gallon spare fuel tank. Total capacity now = almost 12 gallons. (8.8 + 3) 3. Updated to a 2015 IQR front end. The sled absolutely rails now. With this set-up, my RR is equally at home on my buddy's sno-x practice track and on the trails. BTW, I have an extra RR pipe, but I do not have an extra muffler. Edited December 12, 2017 by CaddisFly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
