You could do that too, but with your brace you'll still have all the weight on just the top half of the rail. The two bolt mount transfers the weight through the entire rail. Your brace will probably be fine, just keep an eye on it. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Yeah you really should switch to a ski doo two bolt mount if you want to run 135mm wheel. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Well, I'm catching glimpses of different lights. I'm trying to hold onto this hobby but it's getting tough with the bad seasons. This season is looking good in the UP. If I only ride in the UP this year AGAIN...i might dump everything and buy a newer mountain sled. So we'll see. Sent from my...

-33F darn chilly. We've had some long rides in temperatures that low and lower. You find the cold spots in your riding gear quick. And you spend a fair amount of time huddled behind the Yamaha rear exhaust lol With only one Yamaha left in our group we now fight over the Nytro trail pipe Sent...

Yes sir. I had a 09 fx Nytro rtx SE before my XRS, then got my 1200. My brother still has my old Nytro, with 10,000 miles on it. As much as I try to convince him to buy a 1200 he really wants a sidewinder. I'm only against it because I really don't want to learn an entirely new chassis lol...

Running out of gas on questionable ice sounds terrible! Looking forward to hearing how you like this sled. Sounds like it's going to be my brothers next ride... Hopefully next year Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

If running over sized wheels, its best to run 2 bolt SKI-DOO mounts for the wheels wherever possible. 2 bolt mounts off of a 2002 ski doo mxz work well, and then buy the black wheels too. 6205 bearing, 135mm. The excel wheels won't work with the 2 bolt mounts on the inside because the spacing...

4 strokes seem to be about $100 PER horsepower. There is NO cheap way to get horsepower out of these new 4 strokes. Turbo is the best option if you really want serious power. Or, do like everyone does, spend a couple grand on bolt on parts, then later on decide you should have just bought a...

Are they actually having issues with the rear linkage, mechanically? Yeah they look weird...but I can overlook that. But if they're having issues...I haven't heard of any...?

I haven't had time to read the specs. Did they really not change ANYTHING? besides color, track, and shocks on spring check sleds of course I think the colors look pretty neat. I bet they'll look really sharp sitting on the snow. The viper is probably the MEANEST looking sled on the...

I've been doing a lot of research, and I've learned quite a bit. Now granted, I'm only researching about points timeshares, because that is what my parents have. RCI points, "deeded" at some resort in PA. What I've learned, from reading online, and from a member on a different snowmobile...

Do you have the number you called or the name of the person you talked to by any chance? I've talked to RCI a couple times, and they always tell me the same thing...they don't buy them or sell them. I can't even give it away.

Anyone here have any experience? Possibly a brokerage firm or something that safe and reliable? Long story short, my parents went to Las Vegas about two years ago, with my uncle and his new dumb ******* ***** wife, and they talked my parents into going to a "free dinner! just listen to this...

I use Klim gear, and I'm happy with it. Especially its durability. Been using the same bib and jacket for probably 5, 6, maybe 7 years? Maybe even longer. But it still looks and works great. I did see the E-vent demonstration on youtube...and I'll admit, it looks like extremely good stuff...

Do you have enough oil in the chaincase. Some of the 1200 Doos had issues of popping out of one gear or another, I Forget which, if there wasn't enough oil in the chaincase. Either way that is not good. Hope it gets figured out!
