I am throwing in the towel in hoping my family will want to get back to Snowmobiling. This is the last of the sleds that I had. I have kept it around just in case but it is time to give up and let it go. I purchased this for my Wife 5 years ago. It has 2371 miles on it. The studs that I...

I have a 2003 Skidoo Grand Tour 500 Sport. I have done a few top ends due to spun rings (the single ring design) and I thought that was all I had this time. What I found is a scortched (melted Piston) or at least that is what I think it looks like. It looks like the cylinder was running...

My first question is that I see there are three versions: 1. MX-Z 440 2. MX-Z 440F 3. MX-Z 440LC I understand the F and LC are Fan and Liquid cooled but what is the difference between the 440 and the 440F? I am looking for tunnel wear bars. I have a the 440 fan cooled version of this sled...

I am not looking for performance but rather to improve the control on my wifes sled a little. I found a mint condition 2001 MXZ with 500 miles on it so it is a very short track. What is a basic stud that will just give her a little more control on hardpack and icy corners?

I would like to know your opinion on using Barsleak to attempt to repair a radiator. I just started a two week vacation pulling our travel trailer to the UP. We are supposed to move to a different park tomorrow and today my 2007 F150 started leaking radiator fluid. It is not the hoses...

My bucket list trip to Togwotee with my son is only a few weeks away. We are skiing after sledding at Tog and we are trying to limit the amount of gear we need to take. Our package at Tog includes gear and I was wondering if any one knows how the helmets they have are? Are they open with...

I am in the market for a new tow vehicle. I will be getting a Ford but i am torn between the Ecoboost 6 or the 8 Cylinder. I pull a 30 foot travel trailer and my snowmobile trailer. I know the Ecoboost is a good engine but is it up to towing like the 8 cylinder is? Anyone have any...

I am faced with a complete rebuild or just getting another engine. I can do top end work all day long but have never done a lower end rebuild. I am willing to try but was wondering what a new engine or a good used engine will cost. Any advice? The sled has 8500 miles on it and looks new. I take...

I have found three Skidoo single owner sleds for sale but I am not sure what they are worth. They are: 1. 1996 MXZ 583 with 3600 miles for 2200.00 2. 1998 MXZ 683 with 2600 miles for 2400.00 3. 2000 MXZ 440 Fan with 1200 miles for 1500.00 They are very clean. Have not heard them run yet...

While riding today my amost 10 year old Skidoo 500 Grand Tour Sport apparently melted a piston. It was just shy if hitting 10K miles. This has been a great machine. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it until now. It sure does not owe me anything. I will be tearing the top end off...

I would like to ride on Drummond Island. Can you get there via Ferry this time of year? Schedule shows through November and then from Jan 2nd.

I have a question that I hope someone can help with. I need to replace the heated grips on my 2003 Grand Touring 500 sport Skidoo's. The stock grips are a three wire system with the yellow switch having Hi, Low and off setting positions. The Hot Grips kit Model 123 comes with a switch. I...

The heated grips on my 2003 Skidoo Grand Touring sleds are burning out. On this model the grips themselves are the heater as opposed to a resistive wire wrapped around the handlebar with a grip over it. My question is, should I replace them with OEM grips of are there good/better after market...

My son and I think we may finally be able to head out West this winter to try riding in the mountains. We would be renting sleds. We are both very experienced riders but Michigan experienced riders (trail and off trail) so the mountains will be new to us. Having zero experience in the...

I think we are going to give up on our plans to ride in the UP between the holiday's. I have been checking numerous weather sites and my conclusion is that Sat, Sun, and Tues are basically going to be at 31/32 degrees. Two of those days will be partly cloudy which translates into mostly sunny...

We came across the Centinnial Cottages in Calumet when looking for cabins (want to get out of the hotels). They look very nice. Does anyone know what getting to and from the trail is like? Looking to stay there between Christmas and New Years

As part of becoming empty nest, my wife and I made the decision to get our sorry butts back into shape. We have been very athletic up until about 8 year ago when we discovered how easy being lazy is. We have been working out with Trainers since about August and doing great, that is up until...
