f7ben Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 This sled was pretty clean overall .....now you could about eat off it. Very nice shape. Diamond Drive was full of fluid.....just a tiny bit of milky fluid on top. I will pull it apart after this season is over and have a look. The fill plug is partially stripped on the DD which as I recall is common. It tightens up good by hand ....maybe I will helicoil it this summer.

f7ben Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 This is the best way I have figured to align skis. Snap two lines the width of the track extending forward past the skis.....then measure each carbide front and rear to the line and figure out what you have. This sled was set up very close to neutral .....maybe 1/16th of toe out. I will give the left ski a half turn out and call it good. It was very close. On snow improper ski alignment can certainly scrub 1-2 mph off top speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that happened with the stock 800 motor.....there is not enough power there to push it through snow at stock ride height no matter how efficient it was. Also I guarantee he wasnt at stock XRS ride height......that is the least efficient shock setup on snow There are plenty of sleds with 250+ hp that cant achieve 130+ on snow.

I hardly get up over 80 anymore. Fucking deer ran between two of us couple weeks ago at about ludicrous speed dicing back to camp. I nearly needed a diaper change after that. Catbox was about 6 feet behind me. The afternoon before another one ran right out and I panic stopped about 4 feet from him and he just looked at me and hopped off the trail. The days of running 115 down a railbed on my Apex or SRX are done. Seen to much carnage at that speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deer hit is probably one of my worst fears....my bud hit one right in front of me on the river at 80+ ......the fucker ran right into his a-arms. Mark never saw it. There was blood and shit and hair all over his sled but no damage. If that deer was one step further ahead my buddy of 33 years would be gone no questions asked.

I believe its fast and I believe he knows what he's doing.....but 130 on snow for a stockish XP chassis sled is unobtanium ....fuck there are plenty of fast sleds that cant get 130 on ice slammed let alone stock ride height and on snow.
