    The Clutch Rabbit Hole

    Question - Does anyone have experience with the Dalton 70g adjustable weights on a stock machine or the TD Ecotrail tune? (129” track, heavy rider) I see that 66g weights are recommended for that power level but I’d like to upgrade later to powertrail or max 16 maybe and would rather not have...

    Top Gear options - Canada

    I have the 24T 13wide in my 2016 RTX that I’m hoping to press in a new bushing. McMaster Carr won’t ship to Canada and so far the only stock item I can find is this one: https://www.motioncanada.ca/products/sku/02630004 Do you guys think this will work? Or if anyone has any other option...

    Drive axle replacement

    Snirt Ski Setup

    Since we haven’t been travelling so much, I’ve been riding southern Ontario more on sub par trail conditions with sometimes a lot of road scratching. I’m still running the stock tuners on my 17 winder. I recently put on a set 4” Yamaha runners and they are almost wore clean through at the rear...

    ISC fuse - Fuel Pump Short

    Was out for a ride yesterday when the Viper blew the ISC fuse. Took me most of the day but pretty positive I found the issue (see picture). Inside the fuel tank the red and black wire to the fuel pump had melted a small area which would touch on just the right bump. Thinking about it now I...

    Idler Wheel Inspection

    Hello Everyone, I’m in the process of inspecting/changing the idler wheel bearings in my viper, the sidewinder next. A few of the wheels have a wobble to them, I rotated each with a dial indicator the best are .020-.030” variation and the worst are .050-.075 (these are obvious by eye). Does...

    Tunnel Protectors

    Hey, I’ve got a 129” RTX SE Sidewinder and my Girlfriend rides a 129” RTX DX Viper. I decided to stud both tracks since the lake was almost un-rideable on our last trip. I went with 90 1.325” gold diggers and got the Queit-temp template from woodys. Does anyone happen to know if I will...

    Jackshaft Alignment

    Hello everyone, So I've followed the tech artical and a few posts to get my drive axel and jackshaft bearings replaced. But I'm stumped how to get the correct poisition of the jack shaft because the clutch side bearing sits on that tapered sleeve. My only thought was to leave sleeve...

    Buying a used 2005 RX1

    Hello all, I'm new here, looks like a great forum. I'm looking to buy my first sled. After considering a lot of options it's came down to the 2005 RX1. I don't have a huge budget so two strokes seem like too much of a gamble to me. I could save $1000 or so by going to a 2003-2004 but from...
