    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    LOL!! I used to do this for many of my friends, especially back in carbureted days, they used to think I was nuts how much I would go through sleds every year. I will never take for granted that things are just ok, with my old riding group we weeded out the guys who would ride, park it and ride...

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    my preseason check is always to go through sleds completely, drain gas and start with fresh, no more carbs to clean for me anymore otherwise would be doing that every year, no matter what's in it, change spark plugs, check belt and now belts on Catalyst, check clutches and where belt rides in...

    track grips on trailer gate for loading

    Thanks Gary, I believe I have the TraxGrabber set up on my gate/door already and think I will remove and add the Grips, that's exactly what I was referring to and think it will solve the concern I have, Thanks!

    track grips on trailer gate for loading

    As some of you know I purchased my first 4 stroke sled this year a XF1100 Crosstour, one thing I have noticed when I put it in the building for storage is the high low end torque as the track would spin on my shop trailer as well on the concrete floor where I keep it when trying to move it...

    Beautiful sunsets or sunrises, what you got?

    Winter Weather Forecast

    entertainment purposes only to me but as jr37 stated..."doesn't hurt to dream" as long as there is snow in the greater north woods this year I'll be happy, given up on snow down here during winter. Hoping it will be a banner year for all of the Northwoods this year.

    Four stroke oil change

    its not an issue, its part of oil change process on the Suzuki engine, just wondering if completely necessary or not to do, again read it both ways, hoping someone would chime in that has one if they do it or not.

    Four stroke oil change

    this is on a Suzuki 1100cc, I thought it had to be done on other engines as well, or was at least recommended to anyways since it is a dry sump system, and as I posted I have read where people do it and people don't and was just hoping for some input. I would think it would self bleed but again...

    What Will You Be Riding This Year?

    30 years of pulling recoil ropes in my business my shoulders are also shot, ate Tylenol max like candy, couldn't lay on my right side, couldn't raise my arm from my side any further than my hand at same height as my waist, at times couldn't raise my arm to bring food to my mouth, or rest my arm...
