    Very Sad. I have crossed paths with Carter a few times and always enjoyed our chats!

    Catalyst Demo Riders Please Respond!

    Really surprised that this post didn't generate a better conversation. Anyone else get out to ride one?

    Who Rode The Catalyst?

    That is absolutely not true Pete. Not sure where you got that information but it is totally false. I spent 17 years at TrackSide and was there when we took on Yamaha and let Yamaha and Arctic Cat go.

    Who Rode The Catalyst?

    TrackSide at that time told Arctic Cat to come pick up their sleds! I remember the scenario well.

    2024 Ski - Doo

    Gotta say you are probably right. While the 700 market fizzled in the mid 2000's the Cat 700's were rolling out with an advertised 140hp. So we have a sled or 2 in that class that made it up to that mark. The first time I met Lenny I was on an orange 2006 Crossfire 700.

    2024 Ski - Doo

    The haydays for 700's was the late 90's and early 2000's. The Polaris 700 XC was about 123hp, Doo just shy of that and Cat had a dismall re-introduction of the 700 twin. Yes the Firecat was a game changer for that class bringing us to that 135 / 140 mark and arguably the hottest 700 to hit the...

    2024 Ski - Doo

    Gotta remember that when the 700 class was alive and well they were 120ish hp motors. That is what we have in the current 600 class. Indy: today's 600's are solid sleds and as fast in the woods as anyone can ride! We need less models, less confusion and simplified production to keep these...

    Mission helmet fogging up .

    Fitment of the breath deflector is critical. They are adjustable and come in 3 different sizes to accommodate different faces. Be sure the deflector fits as described in the directions.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I completely agree that keeping trails open is work that most don't understand or even appreciate. You must however not classify all Mountain Sleds as the loud ones! I have been in the powersports industry since 1996 and can tell you that there are way too many trail sleds that are too damn...

    What is a cost for an oil change for 2013 ski "ace" 600 touring?

    Be sure your connections are clean and tighten with a wrench. Loose terminal connections will do this often.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    The mountain segment of the snowmobile world is growing dramatically and yes so many people think they need big paddles and super long tracks to go play on a lake. I however don't have in my budget the ability to have a $15,000 mountain sled and a $15,000 trail sled so my RMK gets trail ridden...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I think stereo typing the riders simply by what they have for a sled is wrong. It is also wrong to tell someone that rides 80% off trail (legally) that his mountain sled is not legal to ride in this state. Need to fix the root cause (as impossible as it feels). The manufactures, Clubs and...
