Headed to Togwotee end of February, just checking around for sled setup pointers. I've installed narrow a-arms and shocks, ditched the swaybar, will be putting a 2.25" track on, SLP Powder pro skis. I'm looking more for skidframe settings, ie loose limiter strap, should I bolt the rear skidframe...

Hello, I'm planning a trip from Twin Cities MN to the Eastern UP in the beginning of August. Plan is for: Day 1 Ride from twin cities to Marquette. Nothing too exciting, focus is on getting there quick so we can enjoy the next 2 days more. Day 2 ride from Marquette to Sault Ste Marie via...

Wondering if anyone has info on the trails heading North from Gunflint Lake (MN) to Kashabowie (Ont) and From Crane Lake area North to Perch Lake/Atikokan? And I suppose the trail that connects the other 2 as well. Planning on doing the "Circle Tour" ride next week. Thanks-

http://atikokansnoho.com/trails-permits/trail-maps Just curious if anyone has done this. I'm hoping to do it next winter, just curious for suggestions on how many days to take, where to stay, and what the distance between Gunflint lake and Atikokan is. Looks to me like no gas in between for...

I'm trying to get my dad set up with some new snowpants. He has a larger waist than inseam and 2xl is what he needs but they're far too long. The dlr that he bought his machine from looked into some from klim, but found that they don't have short sizes available, at least not currently. I'd...

I'm just looking for pointers on things to do/see/stop at, roads to try to run for a bike trip I'm planning for 3-4 couples. Several of us have snowmobiled in the area and are pretty familiar with the Gogebic area, as that has always been our home base for sled trips. I have ridden sled to...

I've got a 77 AC Panther 340. Haven't had it that long, as a matter of fact, I'm mixing fuel for it for the first fuel fill since I've owned it. Sticker on it says mix at 20:1 ratio with 90 or higher octane gas. That equates to 1 qt for 5 gallons. I'm wondering if its still necessary to do...

I just picked up a vintage sled-77 AC Panther 5000. I was looking over the registration stuff and was wondering if there's any such thing as vintage sled registration. Not trying to be too cheap, but I probably won't get $70 worth of use on it, (just had to renew the other 2 sleds this fall)...

Was riding this weekend with a bud that has a freshly rebuilt machine, transferred tunnels, rebuilt motor and the works over summer. His recoil gave up and we kept riding, he'd use a strap around the clutch to start it for the rest of the day. Later in the day he found that at idle his lights...

I'm looking to get into motorcycling, tonite at the Basic Riding Course Class, the instructors were discussing riding gear, which I didn't think would be quite so similar to snow gear, I'm coming due for a new snow gear setup, I'm wondering if I select wisely if I can hit 2 birds with one...

Does anyone know if the replacement shields for the old bell wedge helmets are available? My Dad has 2 that he just loves, never had fogging issues with, but now the shields are starting to discolor and can be hard to see out of, but still no fog, also they can't be cleaned off. I'm sure the...

I have an older rambler home with either a 3/12 or 4/12 pitch roof. Its pretty easy to get up there and easy to walk around on it. We just got somewhere around 18" of snow, plus 8 or so from a previous storm. I got up there today to clear off the vents so that the attic can breathe, shoveled...

I have a 09 crossfire 8std with (engine) reverse and diamond drive. Removed complete dd assy to do fluid change, seemed easier than leaving it in and having a bellypan full of oil. I drained 14 oz of fluid from it. I can't seem to find the spec for oil quantity, even in ac's own shop manual. I...

I picked up a set of Powder Pros at haydays, and when mounting them, found that there are 2 sets of mounting holes on the ski mounts, about a half-inch forward or backward. I can't seem to find anything on their website about what the advantage to each setting would be and it wasn't mentioned...

Just like the title says, I'm looking for real world reports from people who've studded theirs and have put at least a season on the sled. I have a Crossfire 141" that I plan to ride mostly on trail and I've been looking forward to having a studded machine again- I lead most of the time so I...

www.streetlegalsleds.com I'm sure I'm not the first person to see the add in the latest SnowGoer or elsewhere, but check out the website, even more so the gallery! Cool idea, would be a good match for a 4 stroke machine, looks like a pretty high center of gravity though---

Just wondering if funds have been received by other clubs from this great program yet? We're anxiously awaiting ours and hoping to put it towards a new(er) groomer!

Hello, just wondering what other xf owners think of the ride quality of their sleds. i just bought a 09 XF8 Standard. To me it seems to ride rough. I have the ft shock springs set at about minimum pressure to keep top collar on. Rear skid ft shock I turned the spring so that its loose, just...

I'm just looking for some ideas as to what other clubs out there have had for generating dollars to maintain trails, save for new groomer and the like-- Our club currently sells haydays raffle tickets in the summer, holds a Trail Maintenance Fundraiser (fancy name for beer bash) in early...
