The Apache case is designed to accept a lock!

Yeah I think it’s unbeatable for under $50! Waterproof and crush proof. It’s darn big in size. Not easy on easy off like the linq accessories, but it’s not like somebody is going to try to unbolt the thing, just take your essentials out of it and inside with you at the end of the day. She loves...

Just waiting on my dad! She didn’t get much ride time on it this year unfortunately to even find out how much she likes it.

Apache case from harbor freight (pelican knockoff) on my mom 14 900 ace renegade. Was on sale for like $30-40 and spent $10-15 on mounting hardware. Previous owner took the linq mounts off, and I drilled thru the case to line up with the linq holes, and the case is raised off the tunnel to clear...

He loves it!! First thing he wanted to do when we woke up was go ride it again, but all the streets are a slushy mess already, and the railroad grade a few miles west of here that is open for snowmobile traffic despite trails being open or closed, closes to snowmobile traffic on March 31 so...

A foot in Greenville (10 miles northwest of Appleton). We had an extra 3-4 hrs of snow yesterday while it was raining in Appleton.

Solid foot here on the north side of Greenville. We went out for a spin when it started snowing hard yesterday afternoon, came down the hardest between 3-9pm yesterday

Nothing but rain so far on the northeast side of Appleton (by the 41/441 interchange). At home on the north side of Greenville it’s been solid snow for 2+ hrs. 12 mile difference… crazy!!!

Well, my 850 is better on gas by 1-2mpg, and I use 3 times the amount of oil in the 850 as I do the 600. Have not calculated oil ratio closely enough.

Sounds like common practice to grease the pto bearing around 5-7000 miles. I’m honestly not that concerned about it with the woman’s 19, I’m more concerned about the insanely low oil usage! Blows my mind a 2 stroke can operate on that but it’s our first 600 etec and everyone says they sip oil.

The storm tomorrow showed rain for the past week on the forecast models… now out of nowhere today it’s turned to snow. Just listened to Steve Beylon say Green Bay could see a foot or more on the local news and I was dumbfounded as I did not see this coming. He said all the forecast models...

I rode my cousins 650 for a few miles. Hard to give it a fair shake as I had just gotten off my 850. Definitely doesn’t have 850 torque but it is very fast revving, faster revving than a 600 etec imo, but no more torque/top end. I feel like the 19 newer 600r etec is pretty much on par with the...

Agreed, I’d be ecstatic with a 140hp power plant. I’m still young and like a little more than what a 600 has to offer, 850 is overkill though.

Agreed. It’s crazy how well the design holds up for the most part in the 600 platform (unlike the 800s) but I’d love to see them revamp a new motor similar to the 850s. 650-680, 140 horsepower, I’d be the first one at the dealers door to snowcheck the next day LOL
