No race this year. CQ will now be run every second year so there is lots of time for R&D and prep. We are working with our local primary sponsor on the details, but we will likely start with the 153 MTX. Once that decision is finalized, we'll start raising the funds and hitting the...

Don't forget the SLP Mohawk. Great all around ski, floats well, grips well in the pow and doesn't feel too heavy on the trail. I can personally attest to the durability especially with contact on rocks, stumps, trees. After 3500km of Cains Quest Racing and multiple massive impacts with every...

The fingers aren't working very good yet and I am horrible at posting pics...but here goes...The first pic I borrowed from a buddy who was running one of the checkpoints. It is somewhere near Natuashish on the North Coast. The second pic is me passing through the Michelin Uranium Exploration...

Hey guys, I'm 1/2 of Team 5. Thanks to everyone for watching.... it was an awesome race that ended with a rock. Upper A-arm mounts torn from the bulkhead and the whole thing was destroyed. Not insurmountable early in the race but hard to repair that late in the game. Just so you know, we ran...

I successfully started my XTX after sitting all night at MINUS 45 C. I think it got a bit colder but the thermo only registered to 45 below. I cycled the pump 4 times and then started cranking. She caught after about the 5th try but sounded like it was only on one cyclinder. After 10...

The hood is bad enough to get off, let alone taking off the front skid plate too...but so be it(it's really not that bad once you have done it a few times....and I think I'm up around 20 or so now). I have both on for now while I'm waiting for the bumper to arrive.

Yep, all comes off as one. You need to let go a couple of oil lines (one is the vent anyway) so you can pull it al out of the way and get at the chains and gears. I did it and didn't spill a drop of engine oil. I did plug one of the lines with a foam ear plug just in case...but not necessary...

I put 250 miles on my new SLP Mohawk's this past weekend. With the 6" carbides they are flat out awesome on all trails. Off trail in the pow, they float well and maintain plenty of steering control even without too much input. I'm really impressed with them so far and have not found a...

Any issues restarting after you ran out? I was alone about 50 kms from town when the light came on and wouldn't push it. I should also note that it's an XTX with high windshield and when I say loaded with gear, I'm talking 50 pounds additional to my hefty 250 with riding gear.

I got 160 kms when the gas light came on. I was loaded with gear, spent lots of time WOT and in the powder and I have the 1.75" track. Still not great mileage (less than 13mpg?). Anyone know how much gas is left in the tank when the light comes on? Anyone run it bone dry to find out?

My Yamaha Tall Windshields finally arrived this am. Here's one of them.

Decisions decisions. I was kinda waiting to see what/if SLP came out with anything since they are one of our sponsors anyway. The accountant (wife) says no exhaust or battery...but we added a couple of more sponsors recently so you never know! I also have no ambition of listening to a loud...

I changed to the 1.75 Backcountry but won't get any powder miles on it until Saturday. I'll pay attention to see how it sounds/feels.

I'm gonna need more than the battery to compensate for all the weight I've added on there. To ship the Earth X to Labrador would cost me almost as much as the darn battery, but I'm seriously considering a battery and exhaust swap just to shave off 20lbs to compensate for the additions. I Better...

The rail stiffeners from the HCR that beef up the top of the rail where the front suspension arm mounts (on the XTX) fit perfectly. You'll also notice the long brace we fabbed up and bolted (existing holes) to the outside of the rail. There is also a whole lot of additional gusseting and...

My dealer told me this morning that he checked yesterday afternoon and the Yamaha tall windshields were taken off of backorder status. I guess we should be seeing them soon.

I've had my skid out twice now. Once for skid reinforcement and the second time was last night for a track swap. Each time I had the sled on both sides with the bars resting in a holder about the height of a milk crate. It was on each side for a long time as I did the first install with my 10...

There is no doubt that your bolt was out so....if that's where the oil leaked out, wouldn't there be a mess of oil splattered all over the inside of your machine instead of nicely pooled at the bottom/in you belly pan? I suspect the oil did not escape through the bolt hole and there are other...

Minus 30 C to 34 C for the past 5 days. Cycled the pump twice and VROOM!!

You don't need to remove that one for the wrap around section, but you do need to remove it for the upper plastic part that goes up to the steering column. As mentioned already, pop the seat, 2 dzeus fasteners and it comes right off. BTW, what's with AC's affinity with metric and Standard. I...
