I sent a set of shocks to Mike Carver for a revalve/upgrade and am making a list of shit I want/need on the shelf now for spares or otherwise, before winter rolls in and there's another parts shortage.  

Anyone actually get their new 2022 sled(s) yet?

 

 

No snow here

I've been resisting the urge.

Roasted a belt in about 80 miles. When it had about 20 miles on it, I held wide open on a rail grade the groomer packed. Will pull to the low 100s quickly. I wonder how much better it will run after brake it is done. the cobra track makes a huge difference in the fresh snow vs the shit saw the catalyst is using. The catalyst is similar to the Polaris after riding it a while. The catalyst steers a little bit better and has better wind protection but other than that there’s not a big difference between the two. I also like having a coupled skid again. Have 113 miles on it now. Supposed to get more snow on Wednesday so I will go out again then. Snow depths varied between 3 feet to 8 inches. Most of the miles were on unplowed fire roads. A lot of them were the first ones down.

The 9” Stud Boy Deuce I run are the same price at DK as they were last year. They did jump the year before about 20% from $90 to $109.

Yep! Not smart to go ripping around with only 3-8” of fresh snow and no base. Not a big surprise to see why the Catalyst fell apart from hitting stuff and abuse.

Apparently for some living in the Midwest, they have to ride immediately, no matter what, as the snow melts so fast.

No base whatsoever.

There’s fucking dirt turned up from the boot prints.

Dad got stuck on a log and tied a rope to my sled and said floor so it did. Probably need a bumper too.

I just fixed the bumper with a sledge hammer wrapped in a rag. Good for another 100,000

I was wondering the same and came to the same conclusion.

Another storm coming in tomorrow and into Thursday could see 15+ plus inches. But I probably shouldn’t ride because it might hurt my snowmobile. Lol why people cherish these piles of shit is beyond me. I bought one to ride not look at.

You mean to tell me I should be riding the ones I have and not letting them sit in a mezzanine?

Yes and make sure it is in dirt.

I just don’t get how this can be true in today’s world of a 3rd grader on this forum… that’s pretty much an insult to actual 3rd graders.

All I know is a 2000 dollar snowmobile will ride in snow like that vs a 20,000 snowmobile and wear out the same parts. If you got snow ride them.

Don't worry the only one talking shit is someone that will never own a sled in their lifetime.

The losers always talk about the "base" or if it's not that it's that you're riding a trail that is too freshly groomed. People take it way too seriously, if there's snow, ride on it! They're snowmobiles!

700 fogged the shop on its first startup, must have had alot of oil seep into the crankcase over the summer, cleaned up after a minute or two.

I look at pictures from back when I was a kid. We use to do laps all weekend long around the yard in 2 inches of snow lol. Snowing really hard right now so I will probably go riding again tomorrow after noon
