smokin george Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I did some shuffling around today. I put the tin boat behind the house and a friends sxs at the back then my boat and now the sled trailer is leading lol. The next move will be the sled and sxs to go in the garage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted October 2, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Bought this trailer last spring...11’ tilt Triton..came with the slush guard and the ski and track guides plus tie down bars. The tongue jack is messed up but I bought a new one...pretty good deal for 900 bucks.👍🏼 Edited October 2, 2020 by Jimmy Snacks 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USI's bend the mount and break the loops too easy for anything other then ice racing. A decent set-up, many stock skis are good enough for trail riding, even fairly aggressively.

Paid $950 for it barely used, sold it for $1100 (after I put a $200 salt shield on it) and used like like 4 times in 4 or 5 years. Reputable trailer brands hold their value, period.

Ian does some nice work. I had him revalve a couple sets of stockers over the years, and used his spring recommendations. Always happy with the results. The stockers on my Adrenaline are actually pretty decent, but I only have 500 miles on them. We'll see how well they stand up this season.

Our buddy Perm through some (I think they were anyways) Exits he bought off another buddy of ours and put them on his Backcountry like mine, but never did get them dialed in. So if they don't feel right, make sure you let Ian know. Where those things should shine is on all that late day choppy shit. My base model shocks will be probably chattering my teeth, while yours should be like buttah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said, once I get them dialed in. They are a bit of overkill for me riding mostly trails these days but if it helps my back and neck when they do get rough it'll be well worth it. I do need to get back with Ian and see if the fat boy springs I put on back for the grass drags should stay on or put the stock torsion springs back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Does anyone have the specs for a 2007 arctic cat 600 exhaust valve cable adjustment? On a side note. What a bunch of dick heads at arctic cat. They ran the exhaust valve cables between the cylinders but under the head. Which would have been fine if they had made enough room to remove them without either cutting the cables or pulling the head. Some people need to be shot with balls of their own shit lol.

Don't want that thing canabalizing at 75 loaded with precious cargo. Don't ask me how I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 So I got my shocks back from a refresh and installed them in the rear skids today. When I was done, I noticed the limiter straps on the crossfire were taunt and the straps for my switchback back were loose. My switchback back has had two previous owners and a fair amount of kms on it and the Arctic cat was barely used before I bought it so I figured someone messed around the switchback and the crossfire was still a factory setting. So I adjusted the polaris to be just taunt at full shock extension. Did I make a mistake and they were supposed to be loose? This is with both rear skids out of the sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
