    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    Well with that said the other thing you mentioned was waterproofing. I know a few people gave you their take on cases including the one I had above... But I'll tell you honestly if it's tucked up under the windshield like that at least where I'm thinking it goes on the Ski-Doos I'd say 99% of...

    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    I have had a Garmin Nuvi version on my sled since 2011ish. With that said I use the Polaris app to track my rides. My phone is a Samsung s10e it a small phone compared to the phones now. Since it is 3 or 4 years old. The battery is not lasting as long as it did. So I ordered USB charger from...

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I have been think about the same thing for a few weeks now. I found a 2024 I would be really be happy with. I would keep my ZR9000 and move my oldest son (17) to that and my youngest (14) to the ZR 5000. Then eventually sell his 07 Yamaha Phazer.

    Well at this point I've checked everything I can with no snow. But I will have to see if the coolant is even possible... I even took the sled to a local dealer, who is a friend as well. Had them look at it and they could not find anything. Only thing they could come up with and they said it was...

    Sorry miss your question. Yes we road 14 miles the day before, but we put the sled in the trailer that night and snow and dirt/ mud was all on the floor in the morning what taking them out. also we had rode 30 miles at that point when I had the issue. My trailer is a mess right now going to be...

    2015 ZR9000 Limited No recalls Definitely not. At this point I was in good to great snow for 20 to 25 miles. Also when I looked at the skid right after it happened I had to clear snow out to inspect everything.

    No, that wasn't the case for me. When I popped off my side panel everything was right where it should be. Which was great to see. But was very worrisome because I didn't know what was wrong... I don't think it would be ice chunks because it was so warm out on Friday. Yes, all the boogie wheels...

    Tell me more how ice would or could cause this? I don't think I have ever experience or heard this before... The snow was very heavy and packable and of course a warm day. Are you thinking it just pushed so much snow up in the tunnel that it jammed the track up for a second? I don't think so...

    So this weekend if you saw my other post you know that I found some snow up by Lake of the Clouds. As most of you know South Boundary Road is normally a very flat and fast ride. Even with our crappy conditions it was in great shape! With that said, as soon as I hit that section of trail I...

    Thanks yes I was really excited that we got the ride as well. My friend that I took with, it was his first time coming up north so I was definitely trying to make it memorable. So since we rode Friday and didn't feel like Saturday we would find any rideable snow. We left Rockland headed down...

    Trail 1/8 from Burgland was very thin on the way out. The way back was basically muddy snow. Trail 102 a little rough (but decent) 90% snow covered. The way back same bumps but noticeably thinner with many watery spots and muddy spots. Down to about 75% snow coverage. Trail 11(South Boundary...

    Thanks for all the info. I got busy with work yesterday and packing to leave. Left at 5 Thursday morning got up to Rockland, MI. Rockland to Mass City was rideable... But I don't want to ride it again! It was any 50/50. Some areas you were leaving a great ski impression in the snow. The other...

    Thanks this is what I think I was looking for basically. By chance do you know what the base is looking like? is it a couple of inches? Or are the skis sinking right to the bottom? Pictures online look like they could be ridable. but it's hard to get a sense of how deep things are...

    Seeing that was the last snow with the incoming weather what are your thoughts on riding Thursday night through Saturday? Lots of pictures online look like it could be ok, not the best but ok to ride... So many reports of doom and gloom. It's Hard to tell what is what... Any advice for a 9hr...
