    The Doohickey Fell Out Of My Thingamajig!

    Hey Everyone, Yesterday I noticed something shiny on the front door mat after returning from a ride and unloading all my gear. Upon further investigation, I realized it was the metallic contact thingy from inside my Ski-Doo DESS key. Does anyone know if this can be fixed or if I'm in for a new...

    top end rebuild

    I think you should be OK. I'm not a Cat guy but most pistons will get that brownish colour from blow by running synthetic oil. Picture below is my Doo piston with 7000kms and it's still good to go IMO (I replaced them while doing the bottom end in the summer because I was already into it that...

    Ski-Doo 600 Rebuild - Base Gasket Leaking

    Yes, stock base gasket was a 6 hole (0.6mm) and I put a 0.65mm back in. And I can relate - I would never make money at this as I am just too meticulous with checking and then checking again. Have about 50 hours into the rebuild, not because I don't know what I'm doing but because I do everything...

    Ski-Doo 600 Rebuild - Base Gasket Leaking

    I just rebuilt my 2004 600SDI over the summer from the crank up. No failure, just preventative as the inner PTO crank bearing seal failed a leak down test. I used a Winderosa base gasket and installed it dry (I know there are a lot of debates on this but I followed Bill Cudney's advice)...

    Ski-Doo Beeper Dying?

    Hopefully an easy one... recently the beeper on my '04 Rev sounds extremely faint and a little delayed when starting it and shutting it off (the 2 beeps), almost as if it's worn out. The back up beeper still sounds normal. Are they different beepers? Do they commonly die and require replacement...

    Ski-Doo 600 SDI Belt Noise?

    I ride an '04 Doo with 600SDI engine. Last weekend, I bought a new Dayco belt and installed it before my ride. I adjusted the secondary cam back to position 1 for proper belt height. Once on the trail, I noticed the sled seemed to be much louder than normal but I continued, making sure to break...

    GoPro Video Conversion Software

    Hi all, I have taken a bunch of videos on my GoPro Hero HD (got it for Christmas) and now I want to edit some of them using Windows Movie Maker. Unfortunately, WMM does not recognize the MP4 format that the GoPro records in. I would like to find a free HD conversion program (convert .mp4 to...

    Ice Scratchers

    So I've been thinking about installing some ice scratchers (or some variation of) but none of the brands I have come across appear to throw snow/ice into the front of the suspension. Most look to mount to the slide rails and only the back half of the slides get lubricated. Most of my hyfax wear...

    Trailer Modifications

    Hi all, I have an older Triton aluminum 10' enclosed trailer that I absolutely love... except for the steel arms that hold it open. This trailer was made before the days of the gas struts. Thus, my plan is to remove these folding arms that always get in the way and bang against the inside of...

    Some Fun with the Wedding Dress

    Last weekend my wife decided she wanted to try on her wedding dress that's been stored in the back of the closet since we got married. She mentioned it was to "re-live" the moment - must be a woman thing! Anyway, I thought it might be fun to take some creative photos given the warmer weather...

    2009 Arctic Cat F6 Review

    Hey All, My cousin is looking to buy a 2009 F6 with about 1000 miles on it from his local dealer. He was also looking at a new 2010 F5 Sno Pro but there is an obvious price difference. I've read some reviews in the past but I've always been a Ski-Doo guy so was hoping you might be able to add...
