What kind of dyno does he use that will give you a good starting point. Have you ever had a sled on a dyno Steve?? That rent free is showing, way to easy.

The last 3 sets of pipes we tried from him made no more power than stock, with one making less than stock.

I think Larry Rugland about the same age is still building competitive engines despite have a stroke 3-4 years ago. Larry either liked you or he didn't. Still have a set of Ultra pipe from him that ran well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to sell xlt's with Pro 5 pipes installed and honour the warranty. 2 guys I know had them and they ran flawlessly,well for about as long as any xlt engine.

The kicker is Olav used household wiring to wire up some of the stuff on my sled that I had to redo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Bought some roller sleds from Burt Bassett at Pro-5. Last one was a 1999 Edge XCR that I put a 700 twin in. The 1994 XCR 600 I have originally came from Pro-5. Guy I bought it from rode it one weekend and hated the low seat so he bought an XLT with Pro-5 pipes. The XCR only has a little over 300 miles on.

I see my old 1994 xcr 600 up for sale here. I never should have sold it. I believe it has a regular xlt motor in it now. That sled was awesome especially when my buds all got 95’s and I’d walk them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the DT write up on it.IIRC it just make the 100hp mark where as the 95's made 95/96hp.I cleaned the windshield off of it with the 600 decals so after that guys always thought it was a 440.

Had a few guys wondering I've rode mine once on the lake after I got it running. Strange sorry the guy I bought it from forgot he had it and it was stored covered up on a rack in his warehouse for about 5-6 years He use to buy a couple sleds a year and I can see that happing to him. I asked what ever happened to the sled and said I might still have it. The sled is mint but I still pulled the motor aparts to check the crank and bearings out.

That’s awesome Back then my dealer was Chuck Arpin. You may have heard of his son Steve. Former world champion oval sledder. I remember going in the special racing bay they had just for him. Super cool sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the article he said someday we would be doing some clutch testing but we never got around to it was just not in the cards, when there was snow I was out riding. Stock clutch setup with two-stage Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
