Me too. Always have. If it's not ratcheting it's tight enough. Tighter track robs H.P.

About a foot around Mancelona Michigan. Lots of guys out already.

If the filter has already been changed once it likely won't need to be changed again. I believe the manual says every 12,ooo miles. Use Mobile 1 oil. I've been using Mobile 1 0W- 40 in my four stroke Yamahas since 2008.

I have a 129 and I like it. My Polaris is even shorter and I like it better. If for no other reason because a 137 is going to be heavier and it's going to need a few more studs. I don't buy into that whole "bridging" thing. A 137" track is 8" longer than a 129. So how much of that is actually on...

I'm with you. When did all this battery tender crap get started? I have snowmobiles, hot rods, motorcycles, boats. They all have batteries. I have never used a battery tender. I top them off prior to storage. I keep them where they won't freeze and I put them on a slow (2 amp) charge prior to...

Actually, Scorpion marketed a Sidewinder in the 80s. It was a rebadged Arctic Cat ElTigre. Brad Hulings won the world championship on one.

I have over 5000 miles on my '14. I did the Ulmer upgrade. I don't believe there was a big improvement but it was probably worth it just to use the 8DN belt. At the time they were cheaper than the 8JP. I don't know if that's still true. The stock skis work fine on packed snow. If you ride powder...

There's a Canadian forum over on Hardcore Sledder. Maybe post something over there. http://www.hardcoresledder.com/forums/

Yeah. I put a post out there too.

I have a 1983 Excel III 340 CC. Does anyone have any idea what the shift RPM should be?

As was said above you clutching is way off. It doesn't sound like you have clutch tuning experience so the easiest thing to do, and the thing most likely to yield success is to buy a clutch kit. They don't cost that much, they're easy to install and this forum is full of recommendations. I went...

I came off a Nytro. I liked it. Thought I rode it pretty well. I wouldn't get back on one of those tanks after riding the Viper. The Viper feels a lot lighter than it is. Especially after coming off a Nytro. You won't work nearly as hard to go as fast as you did on your Nytro. A stock Viper...

I might try it. I only ride the Viper a few hundred miles a year anymore. It's mostly the wife's.
