    My nytro is finished!

    WOW, what a bone job from the insurance company. My 09 XTX the tree landed on was 5600 value, 800 buy back. So I netted a 4800 (800 over what I paid for it) check and kept the sled. Threw maybe 350 at it (upper cowl, bars, steering stem, hand guards, different windshield I had, seat) Rode it for...

    Nytro exhaust

    See many installs like that, get a regular old chambered muffler (like a magnaflow) that is just undersized inlet, heat the inlet pipe and size it up to fit correct with an expander, Cut yourself 4 relief cuts into the inlet pipe for the stock band clamp, then heat the muffler header panel and...

    My nytro is finished!

    That is why we take the collision on every sled, no collision and you'd have been screwed. That does follow you the rider to the next sled/insurance. I had my sled insurance increase along with my car insurance after my second accident last month, and neither accident was my fault (both times...

    Straightening subframe

    I couldn't see the pics anymore, but basically your sticking a long prybar or pipe inside the upper a-arm window, by the spindle/ball joint, bring the bar down and now go outside the lower a-arm behind the spindle/ball joint, so now when you apply force at the top of the bar towards the back of...

    Snowmobile Lift--which type?

    The skeleton lift is what I have and it works well, but the stand lift seems nice, but you definitely want the work hoist piece also so you can lift the track or the nose so you can work on ski's or the track. The stand also makes oil changes a little more challenging, but whatever. I imagine...

    Trying to stay warm

    Late to the discussion, but like the military and cold weather camping has taught me: Layers, its all about layers. 1st against skin layer is a silkweight wicking layer, like the most basic of under armor (that's where under armor came from, its the wicking layer for under body armor for the...

    Storing in a clamshell trailer

    We had a cap that stuck inside the lip of the trailer, froze solid every freakin time and we'd be out there with a plumbers propane torch melting it away. Then I got a length of heat tape for pipes and zip tied it right against the inside of the bottom rail, plug it in thursday night, and friday...

    Sport Haven Trailers

    Those look like skinnies on the pictured trailer, I'd want wides so the trailer floats on snow rather than tracks and digs into the snow, but then its just me. In any case if you have skinnies they will wrinkle sidewalls easier under load than a wide at the same psi, you have a wider contact...

    Canvasworks Snocap - your oppinion please

    I found waxing mine made it way easier to get the snow to slide off. Letting Duane and his crew install it is worth the money, they know their product and will get it right and drum tight. Love mine, works nice and its nice to be able to almost stand straight up inside it. I can work all around...

    Heat exchanger question

    Someone sold you a lemon, try filling both ends with some vinegar, let it set for 30 minutes or so, then flush both directions to see if you can dissolve the blockage. Don't try using air you'll just blow it up, minimally invasive is what you need to try, liquid plumber would unstick it, but...

    Barn of Parts Steering Relocate $40

    I believe that all the relocate kits require you to give the studs a little bend to correct the angle geometry of the steering shaft (otherwise the machining is a little costly to add a degree or 2 to a spacer plate or machine an entire new mount). It's a little over rated, its not much bend at...

    2009 Nytro Front End+ Rebuild

    They don't have setup instructions on their site. Call Ross and discuss it with him or one of the shock techs. I personally would send them in for service, there is a form on the site that you fill in with your specifics (weight, sled, riding style, other upgrades on the sled) and they try and...

    Cheap Way to Polish Tunnel

    Not much you can do with the saddle bag gouges short of sanding out the tunnel to minimize them but then the tunnel is wekened, but the boot scuffs can be massaged almost away with a black ebony compound followed by a very fine white aluminum compound. Look into Caswell Plating if you want to...

    Cheap Way to Polish Tunnel

    Yes, order 1824 and grab a few terry cloth towels/rags and go to town. Takes some rubbing and time the 1st time then it's much easier after that, pretty much touch up and easy wipe on wipe off, minimal rubbing after the 1st time

    XTX tunnel cracking

    Looks like you're going to drill out 3 rivets, 1 by the bolt on the tunnel, and the closest 2 rivets on the running board. Don't forget to drill a hole at the end of the crack to end that. When you put the plate in place put in the idler bolt then half set the rivets, sort of like snugging...

    XTX tunnel cracking

    2 different people, 2 different sleds. The reinforcement should fix you up. The tunnel polish job is one many tackle once or twice a year. Clean the tunnel well with soap and water, then maybe you use Napa Aluminum Brightener (be fast, spray on, rub it a little with a saturated cloth, rinse it...

    OEM Agreement Between Yamaha & Textron

    There is no roi to continue sled operations, there is a operational cost that they will need to consider. Does making the distant 3rd and 4th snowmobiles make sense or do you take closing the operation as a corporate loss against revenues? If textron sees the tax incentive to be too rich then...

    Anyone ever use these Big Studz?

    How many kits do you need to purchase to stud it like the picture? I'd wager at least 2 if not 3, at 500 a kit for a 120 that's a 1k stud job minimum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Donuts after 2k

    I thought about that too, might work but the copper are softer and form in the clamp to seal to any imperfections or slight misalignments I figured. Travis was just too reasonable to make my own and he's just too nice a guy to stiff him on a sale Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
