    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Absolutely, but that's more coin. I think this thread went off the rails on the first page and 6 weeks later not much interest. I agree sorry for my part as well.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    I would charge nothing, every sled can be improved on easily enough. I learned this from John and he states " if I had a wish list it would be for correct torsion springs and the trac link limiter strap on every sled." Thats what John did on dfattacks new Mach. Changing preload on shock springs...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Most don't and complain about severe darting. Then change skis or carbides with zero improvement. They just don't get the ski tip is in control. I get that you get it but again most don't.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Nice, I remember John telling me about how soft Doo torsions springs are stock. The funny thing is most think by putting in the correct (heavier rate) torsion springs will compromise the quality of the ride. It does the exact opposite, puts the rider in the top 1/3 of suspension travel for a...

    Above the Law...LOL

    Never were words spoken so true! My thoughts after watching the video, first they already had to many when they started their ride at 4 PM. Now the lies, they were lost, had their last drink at 10 (maybe 10 minutes ago) and passed their field sobriety test. I'm just glad our group is done riding...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    So true and with very little investment. One can go from good to very good with just some knowledge on how to set up a sled correctly or go all out and transform a sled with a very good shock package into awesome. I will say once you drink the cool aid you will never go back to riding stock...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Exactly dfattack. With my SRX it was very good stock, I felt it could be better as I was looking for awesome. A few years ago I found John Sherrard and with his help I now have awesome. I did not take my sleds to John, I learned from John through conversation. I do all the work myself. Same for...

    Worth every penny goofy, handling for safety and comfort for this 61 year old body.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Most Important for me. Reliability??? Does it get any more reliable than a Yamaha 4 Stroke motor? Comfort....QS3'r shocks revalved by John Sherrard with Elka dual rate springs, correct torsion springs for my weight keeping me in the top third of rear suspension travel. Adjustable limiter strap...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    I've noticed that around here.....don't tell anyone but those yellow machines would have an extremely hard time hanging with my well setup and tuned SRX sidewinder....ok?

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Not sure were he's getting his info from, but AC brought back the 7000 Pantera for MY24 as well as the ZR 9000 RR for MY24 in addition to the Thundercat. The ZR 9000 is sweet looking. If I was in the market for a new sled that would be at the top of my list, EPS, QS3'r shocks and that sweet 998...

    New truck

    elf my brother has a 22 250 with the 7.3, towing an inline 4 place @ 70mph he gets 10.5 when bumped up to 75mph it dropped to 8.5 but that was also in the upper hillier section of lower Michigan. Any big truck (250 or larger) tows like a dream, they just don't get pushed around. A little rougher...

    Snowmobile Insurance

    I believe the most important part of any insurance is the agent/agency. I have been with Grange Insurance for 25+ years but my agent is always on top of my coverage needs. Can switch from comprehensive to full coverage as needed.

    Houghton to Saint Germain, Wi wknd of 3/11?

    Good for you for stepping up. Hey $200 bucks is not a lot of money these days and maybe it's an honest ask. I would be more than willing to help a guy out with the delivery if in that position but, I draw the line when asked to pay for it too. No keyboard cowboy here just honest. I believe in...

    Houghton to Saint Germain, Wi wknd of 3/11?

    One thing to ask for help with delivery, but red flag city asking one to pay and deliver.

    Why is there a live feed of some dude eating on the enter discussion screen?

    It's a virus scam...don't open it. Already a thread discussing it and the powers are on it.
