    Buying a snowmobile that fell through the ice?

    I was looking at buying a newer snowmobile and I found one for a pretty good deal, only problem is that it fell through the ice last winter. Is there anything I should be worried about when looking at this sled later this week? The owner said it runs and drives great still. It is a 2015 and has...

    Selling Snowmobile Without Registering?

    Hoping someone can help me here. I bought a snowmobile from WI (Has Iowa Registration) and the guy gave me all the correct paperwork (Bill of Sale and Registration). I am wanting to sell the machine now to buy a house, but I never registered it under my name because I only rode it on private...

    Trail Riding a 153"

    I just bought a 2012 Proclimb 800 153" and I am wondering if there is anybody that trail rides these? I got a deal I couldn't pass up on. We do a lot of trail riding in the U.P and do the occasional boondocking. I installed scratchers on it the other day and now I am looking for different skis...

    Klim Stealth

    I was wondering if anyone has tried the Klim Stealth Jacket and/or Bibs. I found a set of basically new ones for a great price and just want to know what other people think before buying them. I know if you buy them brand new, they cost an arm and a leg! Thanks!

    Recent Snow Fall

    I just looked at the Almost Live Cam and John's dogs were missing. I wish I could've stayed up there for an extra week, the snow conditions are phenomenal. I know my parents said they got new snow last night (In the Laurium area), but didn't realize how much they got until they sent me these...

    What insurance provider do you use for snowmobiling?

    I need to insure my snowmobile for the year and only ride it for about a week the whole season. What is a good cheap insurance that I can use? I wouldn't need total coverage or anything, just liability.

    Firecat Voltage Regulator

    When I was riding last week all my headlights blew out and i noticed that my handlebar warmers were extremely hot, even on the lowest setting. So I came to the conclusion that i might be in the market for a new voltage regulator. Does anyone else agree? I also had a question about the Exhaust...

    03 F5 Exhaust/Power Valve Problems

    I have had nothing but problems with these dang power valves from the start. They shut off and kick in whenever they want it seems like. Sometimes at full throttle I am only doing 70 mph without any boost from the power valves. Off trail riding is when they are the worst because they don't kick...

    F5 Not Getting Much Power

    I have a '03 F5 and it doesn't seem to not be getting the power it should. I cleaned the power-valves over the summer and that seemed to help it a little bit but it still only gets around 8100 RPM at full throttle and that around 75ish MPH, is this normal? Does anyone have any information that...
