If I find one great, if not, added some nice mods and the sledz only got 500 miles on it, so the stock shocks will do if they have to. I need some quality down time after this shit show of a year.

I use about a gallon a trip out west. The jt4 full synthetic is definitely cheaper for you guys. I am a little worried that this will be the last year to get sea and snow as where I bought those 20l from (Canadian Tire) are having an chain wide in store clearance. Almost sounds like they are just looking to get rid of it. And nobody else that I found up here sells it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that OEM $50/gallon oil All I have used for 10 years. Its just as good as any other oil. btw just saw its on sale again today in the flyer. Sea and snow is actually 16.99 gal. Didn't see what JT4 was, but its usually on sale same time as S&S. Plus $8 rebate, makes for some damn cheap oil.

Nice ride, dude! Needs a bath. Freshened the engine up last year with new pistons and rings and spaced the cylinders up. New track and studs as well. Got a chain case...used sealant was instead of a gasket as they aren't available from Yamaha anymore. Bought some gasket material and will cut my own.

We were out riding in Togwotee around 2013 or 14. Staying at Lava Mountain Lodge. I was riding a POS IQ 700. Wrist pin clip came out and chewed up the piston. I didn't have a back up sled along. Pulled it apart in the shop at the lodge. Smoothed off the piston with a grinding pad, and put in new wrist pin clip. Pin didn't come out and hit cylinder wall. So wall was just a little scratched up. Went to put shit back together but fucked up base gasket. So we cut up a Leinenkugels beer case and covered it in RTV gasket maker. Put it on the crankcase and finished putting it together. Fucking thing ran good. It was probably down 20%-40% hp on that cylinder but the shitbox made it the rest of the week. That was the last time I went out west without 2 sleds. Edited September 17, 2020 by Legend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
