As with all new designs, someone puts it out there and someone else makes a better copy of it. The Rev helped push the sport. I think you will see cat push the rider even further forward with the next chassis. What era M series? I know nothing about the mountain segment.

Heading to liskeard weekend after new years if it's not good enough at the cabin. Big northern loop in February starting a Dunlop lake for 6 days too. Then hopefully it's good in March for a rap tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, we surprised some people pretty good. There’s a reason we aren’t worried about hand signals. Funny thing is though, the ones we surprise always seem to be in a wrestling match with their sleds and honestly, I think the sled is winning. More than a few groups of poo riders too. Passed a couple with ease. They were probably still in break in mode though, so.... ”Muh...Ate-Fiddy!!!!!!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down here watching the little snow we have melt away. Put a 0.5 gram set screw in my weights to bring the rpm down just a bit. Will recheck rpm next weekend.

Yuh....I can sure understand the need to max out miles if I had to drive. I absolutely detest windshield time. We have a small trail system close by, but it's rarely enough snow on it to ride. When they have had snow since it's been done, I've either been North riding or was sledless for those few years. We got dumped on in mid November up there but it didn't last unfortunately. I don't mind the drive. It's actually fun. Listen to some Jerky Boys, Adam Sandler, or so good tunes and you're there before you know it. I can make it to the bridge in 3.5 hours. That's not bad at all. Another 1.5hr and I'm to really good snow 11 minutes ago, Zambroski said: Thanks. Yeah, ran pig rich today because I goofed up then premix like a newbie though...drat!!!

Makes me realize how lucky I am. i couldn’t remember if I put 16 or 20 oz in my 5 gal tanks. Fuck! So, rather than run lean I decided to run rich. Added another 4 oz per. Nice and warm today too.

Baaawwwwwwwp......bawwwwwp. It's all a lot of us know . Like I said, the ride up is fun as well. what a dummy Better rich than lean for sure I had a pretty sweet little set up on my '04 I kept a couple of 5&6 gallon cans in the truck to top off before we left for the day. Then I'd carry a couple of quarts of Amsoil in my back pack. Then one in the Power Madd oil caddy by the chaincase. And one in the Doo oil caddy on the clutch cover. I bought a water bottle holder for a mountain bike and mounted it to the R side foot well behind the side panel. Held a Maxima pre mix bottle perfectly. I always had the proper oil mix. I took the tank bra off so I was always able to see how much fuel I needed. I'd measure my oil I estimated I need and dumped it in before adding fuel. If it was more fuel than I I thought, I'd add a little splash of oil. If it was less fuel than I thought, it wouldn't be by much. I ran it at 40-45:1 Never had any issues Edited December 22, 2019 by SVT MXZ XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cheap sport. But try having a boat, or an airplane, or even a camp in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
