Can you share what happened? Yamaha seems dependent on how many chassis AC can produce imo. Was there lack of commitment from AC to produce units for Yamaha or lack of commitment from Yamaha to order units from AC? Seems to me there can’t be cat and mouse relationship both need to commit to the...

Happy birthday and many more🎉🎂

That’s ok his right as a member. Doesn’t bother me but should stop the name calling that’s old and breaking site rules. No need for it.

You are going thru the same transition dfattack and I went thru from Yamaha to Skidoo 4s. In reality there ain’t much out there to compare just skidoo and Yamaha. Polaris did join the 4s movement but their hearts aren’t in it for years Polaris denied a snowmobile 4s market existed to the delight...

After 16 years in Vilas so-called Spring it is when it stops falling below freezing at night. As said go south until mid May. I toured most of FL coast out to New Orleans after Katrina and what a sight to see. Miles and miles of beautiful beach then the hurricane destruction was awesome. Vilas...

Regardless of supplier AC Textron can only accept a lay down 4s anything else won’t fit in Catalyst as I understand the new platform.

Only longevity I see with Textron and Yamaha is if Yamaha has a lay down 4s designed to fit the Catalyst that would be interesting. Otherwise it’s procross and same old same old until no one wants them anymore. As you said that one day will come first me then dfattack moved on to doo for the...

Deer will eat what they need to when hungry. Couldn’t believe they ate my red pine 1 year but nothing else they will eat pines too. Late Spring they will eat greenery along the roadside little sprouts and they are on it right away.

I hear ya just sets back Spring in every way and all the spring events but quite common in Vilas 20 inchers used to break my heart drove me south to FL until mid May. Can’t plant flowers until well into June to avoid freezing temps.

No doubt it’s more precise I used mine as a carbide tweak. As you said you don’t change yours I’m a button pusher these days use stock settings to git er done.Imo it depends on what you are trying to accomplish I wouldn’t over expect but it’s neat to have if you use it.

Had adjustable limiter on my doo 98 triple F700. Same idea but had a hand knob on a threaded rod. I used it on trails in central WI on sunny days when trails got icy in the late afternoon. Pulled down my skis for improved corner handling while my buds were slipping and sliding it was a slick...

Exactly and I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for smart shocks. Hp is available no matter how much you want via electronics I’m now more concerned with a sweet bump capable ride the best I can get when trails get whooped.

I don’t think suspensions will transition to electronic in a blink of an eye more like 10 years. Mechanical will also be available on the less expensive models. But what can be easier than pushing a mode button and riding? That’s kiss riding no messing with mechanical adjustments. Look at the...

Remember this is a public forum and exchange of information and knowledge is a good thing for everyone especially with suspension setup. I’m always open to learning what I can and share the knowledge I have as well. There is a PM feature here so you can have private conversations if you desire...

So how much do you charge to set up stock sleds or are poor stockers impossible to optimize?

Basing out of Watersmeet now for a week at a time. I’ll let you know next planned trip. Ken moved to IL so he’s gone too. I made some good friends down here actually more guys looking for riding buds down here than Vilas. Lol

Here’s the problem Yamaha branded sled purchased new from Yamaha dealer. I’m not sure if Cat dealer can sell parts for Yamaha usually have to deal with appropriate OEM dealer but nothing usual regarding this arrangement. Our problem is we divorced Yamaha still love them but moved on to our new...

No way my 900t enduro is bone shock bumper to bumper. Including my new O2 helmet but bought new FXR jacket. Doo does an excellent job of offering accessories including risers and linq accessories. I did add woodys navigators for $50 from doo dealer. Doo dealers know what you want usually have in...

For the most part your Mach is stock you didn't chip your engine change all your stock shocks to something else. I think you changed 1 shock the rest are stock. You made stock work for you just had it professionally set up. Most can’t load up sleds and go to Canada for professional set up have...

My same reaction lots of money spent there but it that’s what you want then go get it. Me I like making pure stock work no matter the brand for my 76 year old body.
