    Doo's eco mode on 900 - great idea for kids

    We were up north of Eagle River this weekend with the family. One of my relatives has a Doo 900. The eco mode is an incredible idea - my 9 year old has outgrown the 120 they have up there but was able to ride all around a small lake for 3 days on a Doo 900 because the eco mode keeps the...

    Cost to replace shower

    Off-topic I know, but there are a lot of people on here who have knowledge of this stuff. Our house was built in the late-90's - we bought it about 5 years ago, and wife is looking into replacing the shower. Right now it's a decent sized shower, glass on two sides, plain white ceramic tile on...

    Difference b/t Switchback Assault 600 and Switchback SP 600

    Is it mostly the shocks? Looking at pictures on their website. Surprised at the difference in msrp for shocks if that's the main difference. Are the shocks on the SP similar to the ones they use on the Indy SP? I hear people say those shocks are too soft.

    What do you carry on sled for saddlebag/backpacking trips?

    I don't remember seeing this discussion for awhile. For groups that go on longer saddlebag/backpacking trips, what do you carry for safety/survival/sled repairs? We got mixed up last winter on a trip in Canada where gas could have become an issue, so I was thinking about what we should be...

    Doo 600 vs Cat 600

    Anyone have both of these in a group? Just wondering how they compare for real world power, gas/oil usage. My guess is they're comparable when ridden about the same but interested to hear from people who have actually ridden them both for a decent amount of miles. Seems like both will last a...

    Rode with my 5 year olds for the 1st time this weekend

    We were up a bit north of Eagle River this weekend at a relative's house on a small lake up there. Rode with each of my kids - oldest is 8 and 5 year old twins. 5 year olds rode for the 1st time, with me and on a 120. Had an absolute blast - so much fun to see them enjoying it and figuring it...

    2017 Switchback SP - anyone ridden one?

    Like the title said, wondering if anyone has ridden one. Snowtech raves about the new rear suspension but they need to eat too. Is it that much better on trail? Are the shocks decent? I think the shocks are the main difference between the SP and the Assault. Does the 600 in the SP use enough...

    Fusion 600 headlight issue

    So on the last trip I took, the headlights were cutting in and out randomly. Not sure the cause - they would work for 10 miles, then cut out or vice versa. The sled has 4 bulbs - the inner two always stayed on but don't provide that much light. The outer two I think should always be on, whether...

    Power valve broken 06 fusion

    So I took the power valves out to clean them and one of them has a piece cracked off. Don't know what happened to the cracked piece - can't find it. Looking through the y pipe I can see a small scuff on the piston below the ring. Obviously I need new valves. Do I need to pull the head and try to...

    Motorfist glove sizing - true to size?

    Looking at Motorfist gloves, again on sale. Just wondering if they fit true to size as closeouts can't be returned. Currently have a pair of Klim Fusions XL that I bought right before leaving on a trip but ended up being a touch too small so they annoy me sometimes. Also have a pair of gore-tex...

    Motorfist stomper 2.0 boots - anyone tried them?

    Just ordered a pair cheap off their website- doorbuster they called it. About $80 shipped. Was ready for a new pair. Just wondering if anyone tried them.

    Opinions on Cat Crossfire

    Tossing around the idea of buying a Crossfire. See a few out there at what seem to be decent prices. Are there a lot of differences in the years? What to look for on them? Do they have the diamond drive? Is that a problem? In my group at least the Cat engines haven't had issues, even with high...

    2007 Poo CFI 600 - reliable or not?

    Saw a 2007 Poo CFI 600 for sale - low miles, looked like it hadn't been yanked around on an open trail. Did they have problems with these CFI's? I know it's going on 10 years old now - just curious.

    Trips planned yet?

    Looking forward to the season. Anyone have any trips planned yet? I'm still hoping to pick up a newer sled this Fall and get up North a few times this winter

    Need Youth hockey gear

    My 8 year old is trying out ice hockey this Fall. Figured people on this site have been through this. Where can I find decent priced gear? I don't know if he will stick with it, and if he does, he'll outgrow everything quickly anyway. We live in Indiana, so it will be indoors. I'll take a look...

    Sales taxes on used sled - MI or WI

    If you buy a used sled from a dealer in MI or WI, does the dealer collect the sales tax or is that the buyer's responsibility, similar to if you bought from a private party?

    Michigan permanent trail easements

    Thought this was interesting. http://www.msasnow.org/permanent-trails-where-are-we-now/ This issue is absolutely vital for the future of riding in MI. Seems like they've have a tough go of it with the MI govt.

    Cat 6000 vs Cat 7000/Yamacat

    Anyone rode them both and compared them? One of the guys I ride with is looking into them. From what I've seen, the 600 is about the same on gas and speed but is obviously much lighter. Oil is probably a wash since the 600 uses so little in a season. I've read the early Yamacats were sort of...
