    WAS THERE A MANUFACTURER CAT DISPLAY AT HAY DAYS?

    I was at the Syracuse Big East Powersports show yesterday. Each manufacturer had there usual large display of their new sleds except Arctic Cat, which was not present. I was just wondering if Cat had a display at Hay Days? That being said, the Skidoo and Polaris displays had a lot of people...

    Yamaha original “single shot” experience

    Have had a RX-1, and 3 different Apexes, the last being a 2011 Apex. Sold that and went to the Cat version of the Viper in 2015. Not enough power on that sled so bought a 2016 Polaris Switchback 800. Nice riding sled with good power, but recently blew her up for the third time, so decided to...

    Question on single shot rear suspension.

    Yamaha came out with a upgrade to replace the single shot rear shock with a better version. Was that upgrade just for the 2017 Apex, or did it also include the 2016 Apex. Thanks for any information.

    Oldie but goodie

    I think this may have been posted a few years ago, but maybe it will get you in the mood for the up coming snowmobile season.

    Here's the real story on the SRX in Past Shootouts

    In the post about this years just completed Shoot-out in the Old Forge area, someone mentioned back in the day that a stock SRX 700 went 114 MPH, well it did not. I have been to them all, and would have remembered if a stock sled went that fast. When the shootout was held in Woodgate,NY(about...

    What? Nobody try out their Sidewinder in Minnesota yet?

    Surprized nobody has posted about taking their Sidewinder out yet for its maiden ride in Minnesota, with the snow you just got, even if it's just around your yard. I know I will be riding up on Tug Hill Plateau come Tuesdsy morning if we get the snow that is forecast. However it wouldn't be on...

    Weird Pricing between Yamaha & Cat.

    Comparing retail pricing between Yamaha & Cat makes no sense. Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX LE IS $16,669, while Cat ZR 9000 thunder cat is $16,899 are basically the same sled and Cat is $200 more. Yamaha Sidewinder L-TX is $15,399, while Cat ZRT 9000 Sno Pro (137) is $15,899, same sled and...

    Sidewinder LTX-SE Shock Question.

    I am considering either the LTX-SE, or the LTX-DX. I see the SE had the Fox 1.5 Zero RC shocks on the front, while the DX has the same shocks it has had for a few years, the Aluminum HPG shocks. Which shock is better? After reading up on the shocks, I would think the Fox 1.5 shock is better...

    What gas octane?

    Not that it is a big deal, because if you can afford one of these Sidewinders, you can afford to use premium gas. I was just wondering what octane they are recommending to use in these sleds? I have not seen it listed in their specifications.

    SNOWMOBILE JACKET & BIBS TIP.

    Probably some of you already do this. I find it hard sometimes to grab the little tab or what ever else the manufactures put on their zippers to pull them up or down, and after a lot of use, these little grips come off. They are also hard to grab with gloves on. What I do, is take zip ties and...

    Being a old timer(62), I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers. I want to change my signature that shows on every post. I went to my profile page, then my information, that brought up my current signature, but I see no edit icon or pencil icon, so how do I do it...

    SanDale Maxflow 7000 review

    First let me say, I have a 2015 Cat 7000 XF LXR. Bought the Cat instead of the Viper because I got a great price on a left over one.($8,995). Bought the Maxflow 7000 for it, but first I wanted to put 500 miles on the sled before I changed mufflers, so I could get a better feeling in performance...

    What's the verdict on the single shot suspension

    I have been scanning the posts here for the last two months, and have seen just a couple posts on how the single shot suspension is performing. So for all you who have the new suspension, how does it ride?, how do you like it?, how does it ride compared to the mono shock, or mega shock...
