    Anybody have this odd belt slip?

    So the sleds an 05 Switchback 600 144". I just installed a 2" paddle track on it and regeared (drop tooth on top and up 1 on bottom) now before you think that had something to do with it, it did it riding around my yard with stock gearing and track. The only changes I've made to the clutches are...

    What's going to happen when the internet disappears?

    Getting very irritated with the current trend of do this do that pay this pay that online. I broke down and bought a smartphone last weekend. They gave me an account # and said your pin is the last 4 of ur ss. I had to wait until after the 14th to register because that's when the new billing...

    I go to a swap meet to buy snowmobile parts and return home with this?

    A brand new trailer? Couldn't resist, 12 footer with the big front door for $3175. I guess buying a cheaper/older sled paid off. Finally have some place to store a 155" down the road...

    Finally did it. Picked up this 05 Switchback 600. Planned on going newer but I couldn't pass it up. This thing has 1400 miles, yes, 1400 miles and is dang near brand new. I couldn't get my money out fast enough, this thing is in such good shape. Drove up to Iron River this morning to get it...

    Went to bed Tuesday night with the weatherman saying, small thunderstorm coming our way but dying down, probably going to just be a few sprinkles. 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...

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...
