    We were spoiled

    You summed it up for me. That’s why I don’t watch the local weather report and hear about how great the warmth and lack of snow is.

    I need to get one of these for my 2015 MXZ. Is the same tool used for all years with Ski Doo?

    We were spoiled

    I was thinking this same thing with us getting into the season. I’d look forward to his forecast and him giving us hope with the 5 and 10 day forecasts. It was nice to have a weather man who was on our side.

    Chaincase cover leaking

    I also have a leaky chain case with my 2005 Ski Doo Renegade. I’ve done the research and it sounds like a bad seal? I see there’s an upper seal and lower seal. Can anyone tell me if it’s as simple as removing the cover and popping a new rubber seal in? Also I’m not finding the part available on...

    I & M Canal Trail

    Can someone give a snow/trail report for this area? It looks like a good amount of snow was falling across this area and might head there this weekend to ride. I've never been there.

    Rapid River, MI conditions

    Can someone give me an idea on the trail conditions around Rapid River? I'm guessing they aren't good now but snow coming this weekend. I'm heading up there end of next week. Will the three inches forecasted make a big difference? Thanks.

    Looking for sled rentals near Rapid River

    Carbide question

    I need to replace the carbides on my 05 Renegade and noticed that they don't stick through the top of the ski and bolt on from the top. They are tucked into the side of the ski on the bottom. So I'm wondering if the previous owner put after market skis on. I'm not locating this type of carbide...

    Carburetor Installation

    I am reinstalling my carburetor after having it cleaned out of my 2005 Renegade and am having a heck of a time getting the fuel line reconnected. It has to plug into that black fitting that swivels forward and back and is too tight to get on. Any recommendations?

    Torn carburetor boot

    Would a torn boot cause idling problems? The sled wouldn't idle last season and I thought it was a carburetor problem but discovered a torn boot.

    Place to run a grass drag sled

    My friends and I are looking for a place in N. Illinois to try out our grass drag sled for the first time. Anyone have a patch of land we can use? We are looking to start hitting some races next month so we'd like to get a feel for it before then. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ski Doo Exhaust Valve Question

    My 05 Renegade has some oil leaking out through one of the exhaust valves. I took it off and the gasket looks ok, not torn. I'm wondering what the cause of this could be.
