A few helpful hints for you with the trac link limiter strap. On average it takes 4 full turns on the bolt to span factory holes on a stock limiter strap. Make sure to loosen or tighten preload on the center shock spring when making any adjustments from stock.

Happy Birthday!

Wow this thread is like the real rail industry....off the tracks! I'm not a hater of other brands, I believe were all lucky to be riding these beautiful machines produced today no matter what brand or class. Doo and Poo are market leaders as they produce sleds for every type of rider in every...

Textron/AC is so far behind in the 4 stroke game it would take a decade or more to catch up with Yamaha and Doo. Noone here has any insight on what these manufactures are up too, anyone's thoughts is just pure speculation and reckless babble IMHO.

Everyone in my group uses the trac link limiter strap. We adjust ours daily when riding. Like dfattack said it's easier to fine tune the center of the sled with its infinite adjustment ability. Once your there it takes 10 seconds to tighten or loosen it one or two turns. Example of this is in...

Yamaha designing and manufacturing a new chassis is never going happen. I just hope they continue to produce engines and supply them to more than just AC. One day down the road I will be looking at another sled I just hope whatever brand that may be it has a Yamaha motor in it.

Absolutely, but that's more coin. I think this thread went off the rails on the first page and 6 weeks later not much interest. I agree sorry for my part as well.

Yep totally agree and in case you didn't notice I was exchanging notes with dfattack...so good luck and happy trails!

I would charge nothing, every sled can be improved on easily enough. I learned this from John and he states " if I had a wish list it would be for correct torsion springs and the trac link limiter strap on every sled." Thats what John did on dfattacks new Mach. Changing preload on shock springs...

Most don't and complain about severe darting. Then change skis or carbides with zero improvement. They just don't get the ski tip is in control. I get that you get it but again most don't.

Nice, I remember John telling me about how soft Doo torsions springs are stock. The funny thing is most think by putting in the correct (heavier rate) torsion springs will compromise the quality of the ride. It does the exact opposite, puts the rider in the top 1/3 of suspension travel for a...

Never were words spoken so true! My thoughts after watching the video, first they already had to many when they started their ride at 4 PM. Now the lies, they were lost, had their last drink at 10 (maybe 10 minutes ago) and passed their field sobriety test. I'm just glad our group is done riding...

So true and with very little investment. One can go from good to very good with just some knowledge on how to set up a sled correctly or go all out and transform a sled with a very good shock package into awesome. I will say once you drink the cool aid you will never go back to riding stock...

Exactly dfattack. With my SRX it was very good stock, I felt it could be better as I was looking for awesome. A few years ago I found John Sherrard and with his help I now have awesome. I did not take my sleds to John, I learned from John through conversation. I do all the work myself. Same for...

Worth every penny goofy, handling for safety and comfort for this 61 year old body.

Most Important for me. Reliability??? Does it get any more reliable than a Yamaha 4 Stroke motor? Comfort....QS3'r shocks revalved by John Sherrard with Elka dual rate springs, correct torsion springs for my weight keeping me in the top third of rear suspension travel. Adjustable limiter strap...

I've noticed that around here.....don't tell anyone but those yellow machines would have an extremely hard time hanging with my well setup and tuned SRX sidewinder....ok?

Not sure were he's getting his info from, but AC brought back the 7000 Pantera for MY24 as well as the ZR 9000 RR for MY24 in addition to the Thundercat. The ZR 9000 is sweet looking. If I was in the market for a new sled that would be at the top of my list, EPS, QS3'r shocks and that sweet 998...

elf my brother has a 22 250 with the 7.3, towing an inline 4 place @ 70mph he gets 10.5 when bumped up to 75mph it dropped to 8.5 but that was also in the upper hillier section of lower Michigan. Any big truck (250 or larger) tows like a dream, they just don't get pushed around. A little rougher...

You can tell it's the off season.....I can pee further than you can, ha!
