Rw06GT Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Couple points since I seem to be the only one running a sidewinder besides Moe. The tank is 8.9 but will take ten if you burp it. I'm averaging 13-15 mpg running trails after the first couple tanks were around 10. Only around 650-700 miles so far. That is with an Evo tune running about 250 HP. No blown belts but a couple rollers have flat spots so new ones going in next time I head north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock FTW in thousand of miles of quebec riding i have seen them running radar once in a common spot, otherwise everyone just rides at their own pace and in lots of areas on the rail beds and power lines 70 is slow. I will say in 240 miles saturday in QC we got reg checked twice, the clubs were looking to make some bank if you didn't have a pass with the trailside buy penalty. i really have no issues with that been stopped twice in Jackman this year for the reg check as well for the first time in probably 15k miles of riding up in maine 18 hours ago, Mainecat said: 70 is dam fast even in Quebec where the speed limit is lower and in most places and enforced. r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U don't take there shit with there shit floor plan terms u are no longer a dealer . they really screwed a lot of small guys over the last 10 yrs . just saw the cat story on local news. weird part they show picks of atv fine then start talking snowmobile and only show the snowbike ridding no sleds. they bought them cheep hope they don't fuck them up like the golf stuff they screwed in recent past He's not talking tough, after a few years of getting stuck with stuff that didn't sell he said fuck it my order is my order, his advantage is he has a world class store in big snow country that has a great service department. Location, location and not being afraid to litigate is huge. 1 hour ago, Rw06GT said: Couple points since I seem to be the only one running a sidewinder besides Moe.

BTW, LMAO at these guys who won't trailer, if you love adventure and riding the journey to get where you're going is all part of the fun. West Yellowstone was my longest trailer at 1500 miles and Baie Comeau was second at 1300 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
