Should I be concerned that you know what my grandmothers closet smells like?? Disturbing!!! *sarcasm alert*

I am being forced to put my machines in a shed for storage this year, do any of you have ideas of what I can do to help keep the mice out? I have heard of placing dryer sheets in the engine compartment and around the sleds but not sure if this is an old wives tail or??

I live in Minnesota but am ok with a drive to save money.

Our one and only trip this year on our new sleds was to the U.P., on our way home I was looking in the rear view mirror all the way home in horror of the road grime/slop that was being kicked up all over our machine and at that point decided I was going to invest in an enclosed trailer. So now...

my wife and I purchased 2 new non-current 2014 machines, is there a way to be certain that all the recall work has been done before we put these away for the year?

On our trip back from the U.P. I kept looking in the rear view mirror watching the front of our machines bounce up and down then started to wonder if people block their machines up off the suspension when trailering long distances? Years ago when we raced dirt track cars and if we were going any...

I have set it up so it turns ok and the ride is pretty good, my biggest issue is I am working on a sled that is being ridden by a 130lb woman and another that is being ridden by a 265lb guy. Obviously they are going to require a little different adjustments but for the life of me I can't figure...

I have played around with the suspension on our xtx se’s and have them set up for trail riding as to where you can go around a corner with out having to worry about bouncing off a tree from the tight set up they came with from the dealer. The only thing I am interested in now is playing with...

For the love of god can someone help me with my fogging issues? I need to wear glasses or else the trails are not going to be safe, I have your standard HJC full face helmet and am always having to run with the thing open to prevent my glasses from steaming up. I have been told that I should go...

Do any of you use a GPS tracking device on your machines? We are being told we can get a discount on our insurance if we install one. What are you using if you have one, we are looking at the "Spot" trace units.

The biggest reason we went with them is that we plan to make several trips each year either west and or up to the U.P. granted the 141" isn't a true mountain sled but it will be more then sufficient for what we want to do. We were tired of renting and not know what we were going to end up with...

My wife and I picked up a pair of new 2014 XTX se's for a really good price, unfortunately we don;t have enough snow to try them out but it gives us some time to go through them and get familiar with the suspensions and everything else. Going to make a trip up to the U.P. aroung the 14th to...

My wife and I pulled the trigger on a pair of new Viper XTX's and were disapointed into what we are being charged for full coverage type insurance ($850.00) per sled from our agent, the main reasoning is they are rating us by "CC" and not understanding these are 4 stroke machine nt a 2 stroke...

So my last question is going to be are thses shocks nitrogen or air, if they are air can a guy run nitrogen in them, if they are nitorgen are people purchasing a tank and bringing it with on trips to do adjustments?

We live in Minnesota and for the most part do trail riding around our area, but we now are in a place/time in life that we can afford to travel and do multiple trips west and or up to the U.P. each season. We are both very experienced riders but do not want to have to rent when it comes to...
