Got a buddy that wants to come up with us in a couple weeks but his sled has been sitting for at least a couple years. Its a SRX 600 triple, I'm sure there is gas in it and it's been in a barn. He's asking us to go through it for him to get it ready. Probably only wants to invest enough to...

Need some new balaclavas. Figured I'd just order them from home before we head out on the next trip. I've always liked the thin nylon ones and normally I bring with about 4-6 for two of us cause you can't use the same one every day you ride. With all the talk about Kilm gear on the site I...

Realize this is a lodging question, but figured I'd put it here to increase my views. I've got a trip planned Feb 15-19 and now a lot of buddies are wanting to tag along. Right now we've got 5 rooms booked at the Super 8 in Houghton but would much rather find a large house to stay in. I've...

Just ran across this on Cat's FB page. Not a cacher but wondered if anyone has done this. Looks like a couple of them are in mspease's backyard. Eventhough Mark's not a Cat guy he might need to check it out! https://www.facebook.com/#!/arcticcat.snow?sk=app_505882242767709&app_data

With all this talk about lack of snow and people saying how they are ready to hang it up or just rent, I'm starting to think this spring could be a good time to pick up a used sled as people will be ready to give them away! Just keeping the glass more than half full :)

Really wasn't going to post anything as I had nothing special but since this thread is still empty I couldn't resist. So here is just one shot at lunch break on 12/30/12 in Deerfield WI of me standing by the new to me F8. Ran great and had great snow for lower WI in December. Ok, now that I...

OK, well I guess my "Project Complete" thread was a bit pre-mature. After running today realize I need to do a little work on the clutch. I bought this sled about 5 years back and it didn't get much use the first couple years I had it. The clutch has never engaged before 4500, and then just...

Some of you may remember I've made a few posts, and asked a few questions about tracks, extensions, springs and shocks because I was re-building my 2000 ZL 500 efi as my son was taking it over. Well we just finished putting everything together and took it for a quick test ride before we head...

Wasn't planning to make any changes this year to my F8, but was considering extending the skid to 136 for next year. Now I've run across a new 128 cobra track that a guy will give me for a good price. Question is this: Is it really worth the extra cost and work to extend the rails to 136 or...

Didn't want to hijack a different thread, but you said someplace else on the board you get an email from every post. How many does that work out to be a day in season? Can't believe you read even many of the subject/titles. How do you manage your in-box with that much going through it?

Hey what happened to that new user that signed up overnight and posted in a lot of threads? Looked like he had a lot of contact info for great deals in China, I was ready to book a room with the few thousand yen I had laying around my house! :)

Great Journal today John! I'm sure the storm and snow would have added more of what you had hoped to write about, the new sled and the KK release were great. I must say, the best part of it all was Gracie on the 120 and her reaction to it. There were a few ooo's and ahh's from my wife and...

Sure something like this has been posted before, but in a quick search didn't see an answer to this question: I need to replace the rear shocks on my 2000 ZL 500 EFI. They are not rebuildable (according the the guys at Goodwin Performance). I just went to a 136 track with rail extensions so...

Thinking about extending the track on my 2 sleds as I could re-use one of the tracks. I'm thinking about going from 128 to 136 on my F8, then taking the 128 track and extending my ZL 500 from 121 to 128. I'm normally a stock guy so I don't want to get into tunnel extensions and major things...

OK here is the background: My son had an accident in his 99 Altima GLE this weekend. He is fine but both air bags went off and messed up the front end. We have about $2,400 of damage to the car not counting the air bags. Needs about $700 of mechanical repairs not due to the accident but just...

Too bad about drilling into the pex line for your addition, hope the repair is going well for you. My question is about the lack of footings. Always assumed you would have used a frost footing not just a thickened edge of a floating slab. Especially since it looks like you have plumbing in...

Really have enjoyed seeing all the new businesses on the banner ad of the home page (assume that is what you call the one that changes each time you access the site). I have bookmarked several of them to refer back to when I'm looking for something they have such as clothing, parts, and...

Heading up to pick up a kid who has been working at a camp 30 miles east of Eagle River, WI in a few weeks. Thinking of going a day, maybe 2 ahead of time and pitching a tent for a couple nights. Been looking at sites in the National Forest but not sure I want to take a chance on a un-reserved...

Anyone have or tried one of these seat wedges? My son is looking to put a handlebar riser on his ZL and is thinking of raising the seat too. As of now, most of our riding is on the trail but he is looking to do a little more off trail and wants to make his sled "one of those stand-up ones" so...

I'm trying to change out my rear storage box and the service manuel talks about removing some screws, that to the best of my knowledge are under the rear of the seat. In order to take the seat off it tells me I have to remove the gas tank. I don't think I need to remove the entire tank, but I do...
