I think 1/2 of those guys are gonna bitch when their sled doesn’t run on the first ride because it is loaded up from doing 25 heat cycles. Then they will bitch even more because they have to remove a hood to get at the spark plugs and then are irritated when they find out a br9es plug from their greasy triple isn’t correct 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you tried to date a straight man by calling him that. How did that work out? Guessing you are still peddling the streets for a dick to suck. Gross, but totally you.

This is the one that got me a warning and less than an hour later some other nerd posted about the same thing on there in a non satirical way.

Remember when the procross would pour oil out the front of the airbox if you did that in break in? I’m assuming the upright airbox on the catalyst has moisture drain holes and that’s where it’s dripping from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they realize between the dealer’s intaitial run up, them driving the sled into their garage and loading it up for the first trip is more than enough “heat cycles” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure look good but anywhere that makes contact with another part is going to chip off like that. My Polaris Sportsman is the same way around where the front rack closes and touches the plastic. Cat should have a molded plastic insert that snaps in there and takes the pull rope handle abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First it’s a snowmobile, second you can see it for a grand total of 5 seconds a day if you stop alot and are looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody ever mixed break in tanks at that ratio. We bring extra oil for the first rides with new sleds. It's crazy how much they use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts a good amount of load on the engine, and driveline, while giving it all the cooling you could ever need. If you are feeling froggy, it also can be used as a dyno. weight the primary to run the rpm you want, then make changes to the tune, pipe, or whatever else you are testing, and run it again, if the rpm goes up, you are making more hp Edited December 20, 2023 by krom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
