    T130 vs 900R

    If you want it buy it then you will reach a point where you will wonder why you need all that Hp. I hit the wall at 165hp and used every pony now on the way down to useable trail Hp. Doos power modes which I never thought I would use taught me less is more. Some hit the wall at 180 hp others...

    T130 vs 900R

    Me too I totally into less is more really feel 140hp about all anyone can use in trails. Darren rides the Mach in standard too. Doo coupler easy enough to to click for wheelies if that’s a thing.

    T130 vs 900R

    I have the 150 900T and ride in standard most of the time and just spools out differently than sport Standard is much easier on the shoulders where sport is high strung and Yamaha riders prefer 150 sport to standard. On grades when I want to get on it sport is better. I found no difference in...

    Idk if was an old lumber grade? Kimball does have some straight aways that beg to be hammered but also rolls and twists too. No evidence imo of a raised grade bed. I did find an abandoned lumber grade trail north east of Spectacle Lake during an off trail ride. It could have easily been made...

    Yes that’s the Kimball Creek Trail basically a bit south of RT 70 all the way to Big Stone Lake. Brule / 3 lakes groom all the way to Alivin and pick up where Phelps stops. If up that way the Habit has food and gas and it’s Snowmobiler friendly.

    Vilas goodness!

    16 years living there I rode thru ER once lol. Another time on a trail going north of ER a rental trackside 2up veered violently towards me I ended up in the pickers to avoid a collision. Last thing I saw was the whites of their eyes before I left the trail. They knew they ran me off the trail...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    That’s my point the adjustable riser does the same thing. The rider select is a complicated design. I think Polaris original idea was to also adjust the seat position in relationship to the handle bar position and why it was so complicated then it never got fully developed and went bye bye with...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    When you compare rider select with any adjustable riser you see how simple adjustable handlebar design can be. Rider select was way too complicated. Yes it worked but so do simple adjustable risers. I could never figure out why Polaris made rider select so complicated it was like adjustable...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Polars Rider select moved the whole handle bar assembly back and forward in relation to the seat It was a laughable engineering abortion that was jettisoned with the rest of the fusion. All the other OEMs went with rider forward and simple adjustable risers. If the Apex was hybrid so was the...

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    No I didn’t but injected 2s don’t consume much oil. 4s engine breaking not much good in those riding conditions either this is where 2s shine. Being a 4s fan I would opt for 2s for these conditions just a better mousetrap for powder and breaking trail.

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    Weight this is powder riding and busting trails 4s not so friendly in extreme cold either don’t want to be dependent on batteries in the bush. Got carry gas so might as well carry oil too.
