What kind of mileage are people seeing out of Yamacats? Are they comparable to what Yami gets with the Vectors? Seems like there are a lot of deals on these right now - I might try to demo one next weekend.

All these accident posts have got my attention finally. I see Tek vest freestyle for $200 on ebay. For those who ordered a tek vest, did you have to get a larger sized jacket to wear over it? Did you wear a different mid layer because of the added warmth? I'm concerned mainly for trail riding...

Looking at different sled options and had a question. I've spend the past 7 years on a 600 121, and that has been fine for me in terms of power, but now I'm also looking at sleds with 136/137 tracks. How much difference does it make in terms of engine performance having to spin a longer track...

Anyone used the Klim arctic balaclava with an enclosed helmet? Just wondering how it works. Did you take out the helmet's breathbox?

So what's the advantage of the air shocks over the traditional coil-over shocks? All the higher end suspension packages have gone to air shocks. Are they easier to adjust? You don't have the issues with the oil leaking out of them and needing to be rebuilt?

I know this is a crazy year and there might not even be any snow by then, but typically, does the traffic die down once you get into March? We're looking into taking a short trip in March. The UP would work out great but those pics of the bug bar with 100 sleds outside kind of makes you think...

Looks like there are good deals right now on 2016 Indy's and Indy SP. Advertised prices are about $800 difference. Base Indy has throwaway shocks and .9 track. SP has decent rebuildable shocks and 1.0 track. I wouldn't want either track, and I've read the SP is valved very soft anyway. What...

We rode up in Ontario last weekend (3 and a half days), from Searchmont to Chapleau, over to Wawa and Dubreville, then back to Searchmont. Had a great time. Saw 5 or less sleds on the trails each day. Got to break trail in 2 feet of snow most of the way from halfway haven to Chapleau - there was...

John, Your lake effect snowbelt map shows where lake effect snow typically hits in Michigan - generally the West and South of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Is the land in Canada on the Eastern shore of Lake Superior a lake effect snowbelt as well?

Any good black Friday sales for sled gear? I got an email from First Place Parts - that's the 1st one I've seen. I'm not one to physically shop that day but will look online.

Thinking about finding someone to do some preseason work on my sled (Polaris) - mainly go through the carbs and change the drivetrain bearings. It's work I could do but might not have time this year. Sled is parked in Illinois near the Indiana border so it would be good to find someone near...

Got a snowest in the mail today. Article about sled sales. Surprised how much they have dropped off over the past 15 years, even in the West. Maybe I shouldn't be. Last time 100K units were sold in the US was 2005, and I wouldn't be surprised with this past winter if it's under 50K this year.k...

How long is the bolt that holds on the secondary? I ordered one since mine was getting round edges. It came in the mail today, and it's about 2" long. Does that seem right? I thought it was longer than that. My sled is stored in a garage a couple hours from me, so I can't check easy. Thanks.

Have an acquaintance selling one and might be a good deal. I've never considered a Doo before, but if the price is right... Sled is studded. Not sure if that impacts the price.

Guys I ride with bought a new, leftover 23' Legend inline trailer last Fall. It wasn't cheap but the price wasn't bad since it was a year old model. I'm going in on it too over time but they had money now and I didn't... Anyway, I wanted to get some input on what maintenance needs to be done to...

http://www.snowmobilers.org/ Anyone familiar with this group? I saw the link on a MSA newsletter, which is the first I heard of it. I support this Blue Ribbon Coalition, which also lobbies for recreational access, but this is focused just on snowmobiling.

Without bashing, is Hillary winning inevitable?

As the title says, what tools do you carry on your sled? I usually scurry around the garage the night before a trip throwing together some basics that I think I might need, and occurred to me it might be smarter to put together a list and keep those tools together. Most of our trips involve...

I've seen some guys on here or somewhere else say they pour some mineral oil in the cylinders after fogging their sleds and then pull the cord slowly a couple times to get it through the engine based on the premise that the synthetic oil they run doesn't coat the internals as well for the off...
