    Track tension

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

    Oil change kit

    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.

    Rtx or Ltx

    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...

    Battery Charger

    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...

    What does the SR in SR Viper stand for?

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

    New to the Viper, looking for advice

    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...

    Excel III Shift RPM

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

    2014 Sr Viper RPM and Top speed problem

    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...

    Under 48 hours....

    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...

    Viper RTX-SE Handling Problems

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

    Viper RTX-SE Handling Problems

    I did the Evol upgrade on my Floats. I like it. They have two separate air chambers so you can tune for roll and high speed bottom resistance independently. I also revalved my center shock. I don't think the rear shock was too bad. Dooleys will help get rid of the twitchy feeling but I never...

    Possible kickback solution?

    My sled ('14) had the kick back problem bad. I went thru 3 starters. It didn't matter how long I held the key. It didn't matter if it was very cold out or warmer. It didn't matter if I skipped the prime cycle. It still did it. I suspected voltage drop and changed to heavier battery cables. I...

    U.P. trail question

    U.P. trail question

    Looking to get from Marquette to Au train. The maps all show trail 321 ending east of Marquette near Harvey. Then there is a considerable gap before trail 417 picks up around Onola. Is there a way thru there that doesn't involve a lot of road riding?
