  1. not to bad of a sled, one word no one mentioned id the brp engines use isoflex grease in the crank bearings, needs to be repacked every 5000miles witch for the most part involves removing the motor and stripping it down. check belt and clutches track for tear offs, and the rev chassis could eat ball joints get the sled off the ground and check the a arms for slop
  2. check the temp sensor in the cylinder head, thinks it the brown wire just unplug it and try again
  3. undo t stat housing make sure not jammed with debris
  4. continious tone at low speed is usually overheating which is possible if your hose is restricted or bad water pump impeller, the fuel restriction is usually at wot
  5. Ever want to check out trail riding a snowmobile but get scared from the price; here you go http://www.groupon.com/deals/cottage-country-tours?p=1&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&sid=908cf7e5-46c9-44dc-b215-7b0a0c16fddc&division=greater-toronto-area&user=9eed077b63d91df6ff35eb57396c78ea295487e2586868d04cbf5ba9ca6f6ec5&date=20121122&s=body&c=deal_button&d=deal-page&utm_campaign=cottage-country-tours
  6. thats gonna be a great fishing work sled and it'll be decent trail riding too. just read up on the locking articulating suspension to get the most out of it and with the sub transmission you could tow a house
  7. http://ca.arcticcat.com/snow/sled/TZ1TurboLXR there just get this 177hp of two up get there before the next guy
  8. birch point is the only marina i've found on sturgeon with premium fuel in the winter time should only be a 10 minute run up the lake for ya
  9. agree and have proven it time and again in my boat truck sled that 100% gasoline regardless of the octane will always get better fuel mileage and power
  10. yes hp will power through slush, don't be worried about the bit of extra weight from the 4-tech it is a bomb proof engine easily outlast the chassis while the e-tech is the top of line 2 stoke it is still a 2 stroke and engine life can be a concern, double check the stats as well think the e tech requires premium fuel
  11. my In-laws own Van Halterens music centre on wellington st. in Lindsay, they have amps starting at less than 70 bux, just got off the Phonw with John he says to bring in your guitars and test drive some amps
  12. it sure can be tough in the fall, once you find them it can be non-stop but overall pretty tough for eyes in the kawartha's as for the ski's my best fall days of 4 to 6 fish were trolling walleye speeds on edges 1. 1.5mph never caught a ski doing the fast troll in colder water in my lake yet
  13. when i was doing the river thing i used pro cure in its different colours and it produced fish (just wear gloves bright pink hands for two weeks first time i used it) or i used borax to preserve. though for the most part i started water hardning the eggs and zero preservitive and froze it in single day size containers
  14. i got a boat no more river Bull to deal with
  15. put chains on it and you'll be fine for 99% of use
  16. best one I know in the area is Mike at Best for Less on midwest ave( midland ellesmere area)
  17. http://www.supertraxmag.com/bg_findit.asp play here a little more unbiased as these guys actually ride em all
  18. the skinny stance is fine if your into some back country boondocking, there that skinny so it's easy to lay on its side but not most stable ride, if your breaking trail in the backcountry and there is lots and lots of base this is what there made for. lots of choices out there for utility sleds. i am a yamaha fan but a rs viking is a 700+lb beast with a 151x20 track that will go anywhere but around 15k, both skidoo and polaris have some decent priced utilitys in low to med power ranges
  19. i take mine out, but if i had a tender i would just leave them in the boat with everything disconnected
  20. 43 inches is not skinny, as for tippy many of the modern rider foward designs may appear tippy because you are sitting higher and with sleds built the last 15 years for the most part actually have suspension travel (i remember my 433gpx with a whopping 3 inches of travel if that)they handle better ride better, skandics or tundras are made for bushwhacking ice fishing running trap lines ect and are about the lightest of the utility sleds available it's a good choice enjoy it
  21. well i can start my 1000cc yammy 4 cyl 4 stroke off the primary with a small flat belt no problem if i have to can't see it being much of a problem with a 600cc 2 cyl
  22. stick to the 4 stroke it'll outlast the chassis, when it comes to there 2 stroke BRP means Bring Rods and Pistons
