Help Support Hardline Crawlers:

found a set of slp powder pros on craigslist. Going to get the clutch rebalanced, from what i hear the 800s had some crank issues and keeping the clutch in balance really helps, of course i could be talking out of my ass because i really dont know what iam talking about:looser: maybe i will hit you up on some work:awesomework:
 
abe- if your talkin bout your 800, best way to keep clutch balanced imo is keep it well serviced. for instance the bushings in the weights get old, and then they dont ride true on the rollers when the clutch shifts out. if you keep an "anal" eye on eveything, you shouldnt need to have it balanced finer then the way it came new from the factory. Sportland in cle elum is one dealer who will service your clutches "anal-ly" and your bill will reflect it, but worth every penny imo. i had an 02 800. blew a piston up once, but never a clutch or crank issue, and i was hard on it, for 4000 miles.

Good deal!. Can you get seat covers too....I need to do some cleanup on my junk this year....98 Arctic cat 600 powder special. Nothin big but it hauls me up the mountain.
 
I'm gonna run the same machine I did years past . Old dragon with the big engine from the 08' .
 
drove up the the greenwater snowpark yesterday, there were several people already up there with sleds:rolleyes: only about 10 inches of snow and it was getting beat down fast, nothing like riding up a half snow half gravel road. i think i will wait for another foot or two at least

X2,. my dad is really anxious to get up there but I want to wait until we get some more snow. I like riding off the trail in the deep powder rather than just the groomed trails.

Went out of my 1st time ever a couple weekends ago. Man I was beat when we got done and we only road about 20 miles. Got stuck way to many times! Headed up to Blewett on the 1st.

Went up to greenwater on the 11th, It was good riding but the day we went it started to rain on the way down.

Heading up to stampede pass tomorrow, should be pretty fun.:awesomework:
 
went up to greenwater yesterday, took the sleds and did a test run up to govt medows and ran down a few side roads, sleds ran well overall, i did find out my speedo dosent work:rolleyes: and my sled has a chirping noise, kinda sounds like a loose belt on an engine:confused: might be the drive belt is worn out, i will have to look into it before i head out riding again
 
My cousin just bought 3 new sleds, he has 4 now. He crab fish's up in alaska and will let me and my dad take em ridin.

Where is a good first timers place to sled? We know how to ride em, just havnmt been anywhere besides the road when it snows

What sled you have? Speedo not working is usually a first sign of drive axle bearing about to let lose depending on what sled you have. Normally a worn belt wont make anymore noise, belt tension to tight or out of alignment can cause it to...

sled is a '02 RMK 800, i havnt looked into of the stuff yet, too much work and other crap going on.

iam assuming that the speedo is gear driven and having a bearing roached would cause the gears not to engage, also could that account for the belt being out of allignment(if it is)? if the bearing is allowing the drive pulley to move in ways it shouldnt

correct me if iam completely off the wall, i am not very familiar with sleds:looser::D
 
What happens is there is a speedo pin, kinda like a speedo cable in a car. When the bearing goes the jack shaft falls down and breaks the pin. Pretty easy to check, there is three nuts holding the bearing/speedo drive just below your secondary clutch. Just take it off to inspect the bearing.
 
^that place is full of big climbs. riding around the SW side of the mountain has some nice deep ravines to drop into.

was your ultra pulling top rpm through the climbs up there?

Pretty much, I think its geared too low, as I have stock gearing, but a 7 tooth driver to fit the 2.15" track, at lease thats what it feels like to me. Idk?

You can here it bauble a few times too, it doesn't breath well enough sometimes in fine powder and it was getting a bit fat as its jetted for right around 4,000 feet.

A question I had is on the rear suspension, the limit strap, how is the best way to set that for mountain riding, we messed with it a bit, but it didn't change it much I don't think...

Fawk I gotta come up there and go sleddin, thats my kinda riding:drooling1:

Hehe, no you don't want to ride there, it sucks.:fawkdancesmiley:

There are some HUGE climbs, I'm talking 1000+ feet of verticle elevation gain.

Funny thing was, that video was shot around 1:30 in the afternoon, we didn't even get up there early and rode fresh all day!

But, Baker ain't a place to **** around on. Crevasses, huge drops that appear out of no where, huge climbs, and bad weather can make it a dangerous place. It gets white-ed out easy because your above treeline= no shadows.

Luckly, my guide (my padre) has been riding up there for about 20 years now, so he knows his way around.
