    Doo 600 vs Cat 600

    Anyone have both of these in a group? Just wondering how they compare for real world power, gas/oil usage. My guess is they're comparable when ridden about the same but interested to hear from people who have actually ridden them both for a decent amount of miles. Seems like both will last a...

    Rode with my 5 year olds for the 1st time this weekend

    We were up a bit north of Eagle River this weekend at a relative's house on a small lake up there. Rode with each of my kids - oldest is 8 and 5 year old twins. 5 year olds rode for the 1st time, with me and on a 120. Had an absolute blast - so much fun to see them enjoying it and figuring it...

    2017 Switchback SP - anyone ridden one?

    Like the title said, wondering if anyone has ridden one. Snowtech raves about the new rear suspension but they need to eat too. Is it that much better on trail? Are the shocks decent? I think the shocks are the main difference between the SP and the Assault. Does the 600 in the SP use enough...

    Fusion 600 headlight issue

    So on the last trip I took, the headlights were cutting in and out randomly. Not sure the cause - they would work for 10 miles, then cut out or vice versa. The sled has 4 bulbs - the inner two always stayed on but don't provide that much light. The outer two I think should always be on, whether...

    Power valve broken 06 fusion

    So I took the power valves out to clean them and one of them has a piece cracked off. Don't know what happened to the cracked piece - can't find it. Looking through the y pipe I can see a small scuff on the piston below the ring. Obviously I need new valves. Do I need to pull the head and try to...

    Motorfist glove sizing - true to size?

    Looking at Motorfist gloves, again on sale. Just wondering if they fit true to size as closeouts can't be returned. Currently have a pair of Klim Fusions XL that I bought right before leaving on a trip but ended up being a touch too small so they annoy me sometimes. Also have a pair of gore-tex...

    Motorfist stomper 2.0 boots - anyone tried them?

    Just ordered a pair cheap off their website- doorbuster they called it. About $80 shipped. Was ready for a new pair. Just wondering if anyone tried them.

    Opinions on Cat Crossfire

    Tossing around the idea of buying a Crossfire. See a few out there at what seem to be decent prices. Are there a lot of differences in the years? What to look for on them? Do they have the diamond drive? Is that a problem? In my group at least the Cat engines haven't had issues, even with high...

    2007 Poo CFI 600 - reliable or not?

    Saw a 2007 Poo CFI 600 for sale - low miles, looked like it hadn't been yanked around on an open trail. Did they have problems with these CFI's? I know it's going on 10 years old now - just curious.

    Trips planned yet?

    Looking forward to the season. Anyone have any trips planned yet? I'm still hoping to pick up a newer sled this Fall and get up North a few times this winter

    Need Youth hockey gear

    My 8 year old is trying out ice hockey this Fall. Figured people on this site have been through this. Where can I find decent priced gear? I don't know if he will stick with it, and if he does, he'll outgrow everything quickly anyway. We live in Indiana, so it will be indoors. I'll take a look...

    Sales taxes on used sled - MI or WI

    If you buy a used sled from a dealer in MI or WI, does the dealer collect the sales tax or is that the buyer's responsibility, similar to if you bought from a private party?

    Michigan permanent trail easements

    Thought this was interesting. http://www.msasnow.org/permanent-trails-where-are-we-now/ This issue is absolutely vital for the future of riding in MI. Seems like they've have a tough go of it with the MI govt.

    Cat 6000 vs Cat 7000/Yamacat

    Anyone rode them both and compared them? One of the guys I ride with is looking into them. From what I've seen, the 600 is about the same on gas and speed but is obviously much lighter. Oil is probably a wash since the 600 uses so little in a season. I've read the early Yamacats were sort of...

    Nelson's snow motion - worth going to?

    Got an email today regarding this - how does this compare with the Fall snow shows? I was thinking about maybe going since I have family in that area.

    Polaris gained market share this year

    According to their earnings release today - they gained market share but expect to ship fewer sleds next year. That their market share is their best in over 13 years - what is that, just before Poo brought out the Fusion 900 and Doo brought out the Rev? Below are some quotes. And for the full...

    Propane grill

    I'm looking into getting a new propane grill. Any suggestions? I've been buying the cheapo's every 4 or 5 years from the big box stores and thinking about buying something decent this time around. The one I have now is a "Thermos" brand from Menard's. I think it started rusting on the way home...

    Anyone use the Klim arctic boots?

    Saw them on clearance in a large size which is unusual, but I'm wondering if they are too bulky or if I'd be better off with something else. One of my boots pretty much self-destructed on the last trip so it's time to buy something. I know there have been a lot of threads about boots but I...

    Where to find used sleds for sale

    Seems like there used to be a lot on ebay but not as many anymore. Many on craigslist, which is kind of a pain to search. Any other places you look for used sleds for sale?

    Fusion 600 bogs at high RPM's

    Fusion 600 with 9200 miles. Pulls fine up to about 7500 RPM's but that's all it has. Tops out a little over 70 MPH on the speedo - normally has no issues up to 80, and probably more. I switched to my spare belt (used) and it was slightly better. I was riding in Canada without much access to...
