SVT MXZ XRS Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Good find Tomas Package from MainWay Solutions finally showed up today. Was supposed to be here on the 13th , but just got delivered today. Was afraid it got lost/mixed up in customs (just a small 4"x4"x4" box). Wasn't in a hurry to get it here but I've been ordering stuff early to get everything here so I don't run into any delays come winter. Nice little mounting hardware kit they sell.

Did you buy the required aftermarket bracing kit the ski doos require? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do the bushings too? Edited September 19, 2019 by awful knawful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well I started to do some research and now I don't know if I should be swapped the Ryde FX 2.0 front shocks for the fox float 2"s. Does anyone know what is the better option? The Ryde FX has the Schrader valves installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crappie Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 11 hours ago, Tomas. said: Well I picked up a 2008 Polaris RMK 700 last night. I am going to swap a bunch of parts off it and then as long as the deal holds I have a buyer for everything at the same price I paid for it. Buddy I bought it off of has never rode it as the guy he got it off of had a ring meet exhaust port issue. Judging by the track which I think is stock, this thing has no miles on it. Track looks brand new. Wow, that's really in good shape! Nice score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. @AKIQPilot are you able to help solve this dilemma? Lol The sled will be mainly a ditch banger/hopefully some trails with the rare possibility of seeing some steep and deep.

Tomas. Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 So the RMK I bought is just full of surprises. It has an SLP can. So I pulled that off. I hear something rattling around inside. Parts of the ring that hit the exhaust port lol. As well as what appears to be some baffling. There is more in there but I can't get it out. I want to run it over my can as the one currently on my sled is a super loud asshole can and I am not a fan. The slp is much quieter. But I am worried about running a can with loose items inside. Looking for input. Also it has hid head lights! Ballasts and everything. So now I am contemplating liberating those. Anyone have any experience running hid's? Or am I better off with the halogens because of vibrations? I also plugged the gauge into my sled to see the milage. 3400 miles. It looks really good for that kind not kms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Sled maintenance done, minor issues fixed, loaded up and ready to head up north. I’m ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The Float 2's are better shocks than the RideFX Air 2.0's. Should be a straight across shock I would guess. Depends on if the front ends are different widths. I would run the slp can and not worry about the rattling inside. I don't know which headlight is better.

Tomas. Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Awesome thank you. Everything fits. I will give the hids a go. Can't go wrong with free lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blizzard will be the backup soon, if not gone. Sticking with the cat in backup duty for now. I’ll see what is coming new for 2021 in the spring and decide then if I want to snow check or pickup a leftover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the muffler side y-pipe bolts coming loose last season (cheap fix - nord lock washers ) the sled’s been great. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Got the turbo ace buttoned up this week after some tweaks to make it better in deeper snow. 1.75” x 16” track, Pilot 6.9s with 6” center and 4” on outside keel, one tooth lower gearing on top, adjustable riser and grab handle, heavier torsions and a few other goodies. Looking for a deal on some skid shocks, the stocker gets overwhelmed pretty easy. Cant wait to ride this winter! Got a couple Quebec trips on the itinerary this season.

Why not just revalve the center? What is that on your floor or, why is your sled in the living room? Either way...I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
