    Cheapest mountain sled rental out West?

    We're still thinking about heading West this year...but the cost makes it tough. We all own short tracks so we'd be renting. If we go, we'd be looking to rent for four days. So far, the cheapest I've found is $180/day for a M6 which includes gas and oil. That's in the Togwotee area. Anyone...

    Adjusting Secondary on Polaris Fusion 600 for Carlisle belt

    I bought a Carlisle belt for my Polaris 600 Fusion. When I put it on the sled, it squealed and turned the track when the sled was on the track stand. I was told that I need to adjust the secondary to make it sit. Is this an easy adjustment to do? I also had a new Polaris belt and it runs...

    All Keeweenaw trails open this year?

    Last year, if I remember right, one of the loops in the Keeweenaw was closed. I think the cause may have been wetlands that didn't freeze up or owner issues, and that there was talk of a reroute. Just curious what the status was of this. Seems like the area could really use that extra loop to...

    Nuvi 500 for snowmobiling. http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=420511&pdesc=Garmin_n_vi_500_GPS_Navigator I own a 60 csx, so I'm not in the market, but I recently came across this unit, and was wondering how it might do on the snow. Just curious if anyone else has used it.

    Where to buy tall windshield for 06 Fusion?

    Can't seem to find a tall windshield for a Fusion, probably because it was a short-lived body style. Trying to compare options for warmer hands...either better windshield or hand guards. Thanks.

    Which handguards to buy?

    I'm thinking about getting some handguards for wind protection for my hands. I have a Fusion 600 and I find my hands are cold more often than on my edge chassis. My gloves are Klim Klimates so I don't think that's the issue. It's either handguards or try a bigger windshield. So I'm thinking...

    Motofist gear?

    Anyone have any experience with Motofist gear? I talked to two people from Motofist at the sled show in Milw. Seemed intriguing, but I'm not sure why anyone would buy something so new for so much money until it's been around for awhile (it seemed to be priced comparable to Klim). The gear...

    Milw snow show - place to camp nearby

    We're headed to the Milw snow show on Sat. With the weather being as warm as it is, we're thinking about camping Sat. night. Are there any good places to camp near there? Basically just looking for a place to set up a campfire and pitch a tent...nothing too fancy. We'll be driving up from...

    Pros and Cons and Comparisons of different places to ride in the West

    We rode in the West once - a few years back - and stayed at the Turpin Meadow Lodge, which is 8 miles by trail from the Togwotee Lodge. That's the only area I know. We had such a great time I don't even know if I'd consider going anywhere else, but what are the other choices available for...

    Arctic Cat 4 strokes - reviews?

    Hey, it seems like you don't hear much about the arctic cat 4 strokes. When you look at the arctic cat sites, it seems like all the discussion is about the turbos and mods, etc. What is the non turbo 4 stroke cat like compared to say the F6? That's supposed to be an incredible chassis, just...

    Milw snow show vs novi

    Hey all, we went to the novi show a couple of years back and loved it. The milw show will work better in terms of timing this year. Is this show comparable to the novi show? I've heard the novi show is bigger but not sure how much different. Thanks!

    Battery in Polaris Fusion - do I need it?

    I think I'm going to need a new battery for next season in my 06 Fusion 600. My question is, do I even need one? I bought the sled used and wouldn't have paid for e-start if I bought it new. I don't mind pull starting it, but I'm wondering if it will run ok or at all without the battery. I...

    Northwoods real estate - success stories with rental property?

    One of the topics that comes up from time to time with a couple of riding buds, normally after a few beverages, is that we should go in together and purchase some property somewhere in the Northwoods of Wisconsin or in the UP (where we ride 90% of the time). Since we're all fairly young and...

    Use Realtor or For Sale By Owner???

    Looking at moving. Can list house on MLS for about $400 and probably have to pay buyer-side realtor either way. Is using a realtor worth the extra money?

    Keeping track of group trip expenses

    How do your groups keep track of trip expenses? We generally take turns paying for stuff and then try to add it all up later...which is always sort of a headache. I've thought about using a kitty, where everyone throws in some cash, but it's usually just easier to use a credit card at the...

    How long do mtn sled hold up?

    10,000 miles or 5 years is a pretty good life for a 2 stroke trail sled, assuming you ride 2000 miles/year, take reasonably good care of it, etc. I know they can go longer, but assuming that's a good life for a trail sled without dumping any money into it, how long will a mountain sled last...

    Polaris Fusion 600 - greasing jackshaft bearing

    I put the sled down for the offseason last weekend, and I greased the driveshaft bearing down below the secondary. I noticed the service manual also said to grease the jackshaft bearing. Where is this? I assume it's on the other side of the driveshaft.

    Causes for belt breakdowns

    I've had my clutches aligned and I'm still having trouble with the belts breaking prematurely. I think I'm breaking them in correctly. Any other ideas of what to check? 06 Fusion 600.

    Klim Valdez vs. Tomahawk jacket

    What's the difference (besides the price obviously)? The Valdez is way out of my range, but I'm wondering what makes it so much more expensive.
