Started out in New Richmond -20 Friday morning, made it to Winter by Friday afternoon, Through Clam Lake Saturday, back home Sunday afternoon, 405 miles with my 16 year old! Awesome weekend of riding!
First pic is 9am, fresh groomed!
Second pic is through the woods about 10am.
Third pic is the same spot as the 9am, at 3:30pm after 200 miles, one other sled all day!
Gotta love these late winters, when you pull into a gas station, or where ever, with sleds in tow, and the dirtly looks you get by people who want winter to end already.
To them, HAHAHA! Its about time we had a good WINTER in March!!
Just curious how many leave with a destination in the morning (Or evening) or do you just head in a direction and see how the trails are and let the day take you where it may?

This weekend, unless you pinned it to the bar (Even below zero) it would load up all the way to 80-90% throttle before it would start pulling like it should, and only after a few seconds of wide open, would it clear up.
Choke...
What a sweet deal if you get a ticket, and what a money grab for the counties!
Anyone else use this? In Dakota County, MN, its only 90 days that you can't get another ticket, for the current one to be thrown out!

There's still LOTS of snow up here! Just drove over it today on US 16, and there were FRESH sled tracks out in the valleys and mountain sides. Couldn't find an open rental place, but WOW, would have been cool to take a spin in June!
I saw the two extremes of snowmobiler support yesterday while riding.
On the Tomorrow River Trail about 5 miles west of Manawa, there is a guy who obviously hates the fact his driveway has to cross the trail, and that sleds go by his house. He has big gates, and signage all along his property...
The drive cogs were rubbing on the limiter straps when I bought the sled, and they finally grenaded a week ago. So, new straps installed, and I moved the skid mount back 1/2", to give a 1/4" of space between the cogs and the limiter straps.
Now, I basically have NO adjustment on the track...
How much if any play should there be when you turn the secondary?
I'd say I have about 2" of free play on the secondary when I turn it. Also, I have the cover off, when I move the track, I can see the reverse gear move 4-5 teeth of free play.
My guess is I shouldn't have any, and I have an...
