Popular Post f7ben Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Freedom Sledder DRIFT BASHERS !! Trip checklist for upcoming saddlebag 1. Have dealer change drive belt and adjust to factory spec. Assume there is a tool for this but could not find it on skidoo accessory webpage. 2. Have dealer verify and adjust ski alignment per factory manual. This is critical for the speeds we will be attaining in the park. The tour guide said to be prepared for bursts of up to 50mph 3. Check toolkit and make sure tools are appropriately sorted and cleaned. 4. *** CRITICAL - Borrow or purchase track tension tool and ensure track tension is adjusted per factory spec. The track operation will be at its quietest between 7.1-7.5 kg of resistance and the bison in the park do not like noise at all. Recommendations - 1. Run only skidoo XYZ Etec HS Pro Plus Premium DFI injection oil. The dealer said this is the lowest emissions oil available and the best option until the electric sleds hit the market. It is a bargain at $119 per gallon. I realize the powerful 600s are thirsty but this is the price to run with the big dogs. 2. Bring spare parts such as fuses. The guide said he would handle minor repairs such as this. 3. If you haven’t bought the recommended helmet communicator you will be out of touch and have to rely on hand signals. Please review the hand signal pamphlet that you were provided by Doug or Snowrider when you joined the club. Things happen fast at trail speed and we need to be ready to respond in an instant. Also the guide promised us at least 1 hour of hardcore off trail. You will need to have your boondocker club patch to participate in this portion of the trip. This is for experienced riders only. If you are interested in testing for your Boondocker patch please contact Carin2Carin. He has set up a very impressive obstacle course including a driveway jump and a deep pow area where he snow blows his sidewalks to try single ski carving exercises. As usual , let’s be safe …..wear our reflectors and god willing we will make it back to the lodge by dark and can all share our experiences and enjoy the complimentary glass of wine provided by club dues and the lodge each year!!

DriftBusta Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 My sled has had all its preseason maintenance, including belt deflection, track tension, motor and chain case oil and filters done, and nav maps updated. Aimed out the door. Still working on the trailer, but mostly just cosmetic bullshit. I feel like I need to spend $ on something, but honestly, everything is good, don't need anything this year. May look for another helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
