Woke up to destroyed homes and 60k+ people out of power. We got our power back 36 hours later, My work is still out of power this will be my 2nd day...

    Pro Seat on IQ

    Figured I'd post this up for anyone whose interested. I did some research, or should I say came up empty handed with my research on this swap. I knew the front mount brackets on the tank were the same. Couldn't find anyone who tried it. Picked it up from Skylar this morning, he was nice enough...

    Is saying it has a "tick" the new way of trying to lower someone on their price?

    Is saying it has a "tick" the new way of trying to lower someone on their price? Getting so sick of it. Selling my dads sled a month ago guy claimed it had a tick it had a tick then asked how firm we are on price we knocked $50 off and he ended up buying it anyways. Now we're selling a lawn...

    Guess I should've listened LOL I made this run twice before this, decided to pick the line with a big drift in it, sled decided to aim off to the right of the drift. sled impressed the crap out of me this weekend even with a 1" w/96 studs except for the fact I returned with 2 less belts and a...

    Thanks Don from the Mosquito!

    Not only did you guys host a great party, but coming past parkview Friday night on my way there, my sled all of a sudden got REALLY loud. The U-pipe on my can snapped right off the silencer. Ran it straight piped all the way to the mosquito and enjoyed a great fish fry, talked to Don a bit and...

    509 chrome wears off/scratches

    Getting pretty ticked. I have 509 hard case and always transport my goggles inside the goggle bag that they came with along with putting those in the case. I don't touch the goggles with my hands but it seems if you get snow on the chrome and wipe it off with a cloth the chrome comes off with...

    HUGE thanks to Kip @ Pats Yamaha!!!

    To make a long story short my buddys sled broke down (chain snapped) halfway through trail 13 loop. Well anybody who knows that trail knows it is NOT a short loop. After breaking a bumper on 1 sled from towing it we finally got it to Pat's. They were closed and I noticed a guy in back filling up...

    Scared the crap out of me today

    We had finals today, I'm about an hour and 15 minutes into my lengthy test. A kid same age as me about 6' 200 lbs was sitting 1 desk in front and 1 desk over to my left in front of me. He had his head down for the last 15 minutes as he finished his test and had nothing to do. Out of nowhere he...

    Worst day of my life

    Don't even know where to start. Well me my dad and sister trailered about 15 miles over the county line to go for a little ride today. Got about 15 miles into the ride and whack. I hit a big root and busted the lower radius rod on my 99 xc 700 right in half. I was 1/2 mile north of a popular bar...

    Is it just me- Polaris Edges

    Or have these prices not gone down for at least 5 years? For petes sake everyone wants $2500 for a 12 year old sled!!! Most 01 XC 600s with 5k miles people want $2500. You can get an 06 Fusion 600 with 3k miles for $3200 or an 07 iq 600 with 3k for $4000. Why in the world do people want so much...

    Just looking for more suggestions...

    My dad has a 99 XC SP 700 with 7500 miles on it. All season last year he told me it was boggy but he just kept riding it. I've been tinkering with it for the past week. From a dead stop if you punch the throttle it bogs and then backfires. I don't have the best gas in it but it shouldn't be bad...

    2 trailer questions for the experts...

    Probably fit best in tech talk but figured it'd get more views here. 1.) I found a 1995 UNITED enclosed 18'x8.5' + 3.5' vnose. It is steel. I believe a trailer of this kind would run about 2500 lbs. Do you think my 99 GMC Sierra Classic with the 5.7L and 3.73 gearing (rated for 6000 lbs) is...
