Went riding Tuesday at our Secret Squirrel Spot. Snow SUCKED! Wet and heavy, about 30 inches of soft, newish snow, about 50 inches total, and rained all day. Didn't see another rider all day (as usual) and only followed a single sled track in the the bottom of the good stuff. My dad got stuck on a face on accident, we got him dug out an went back into the tree's to play a little while, when we came back, a large slide had come down just 50 feet from where he was stuck. While we were surveying the situation, another slide came down and burried the spot where he was stuck. We watched many natural slides come down, and heard many more. Dangerous!
As far as my sled went, I really like my front suspension as apposed to last year. We added spindles off a GENII and removed the sway bar, allowed me to get the sled up on 1 ski much better. Found that right about 4000 feet, my sled starts running rich, lacking lower end throttle response, about 3500 it runs perfect, looks like I am gonna have to get an inbetween set of jets. My 159" track preformed flawlessly, I didn't get stuck once, just tip'd the sled over a few times. My dad on his 151" got stuck twice.
I can tell my sled is gonna be a climber!:cheer: She may not preform as well as I like in the trees because of the longer track, but o well, got a good deal on the track. Ordered some longer shocks from ebay, should be about 2" longer, they are stock shocks off a 99 RMK. Thinking I want a two wheel kit and some 8" wheels also.
and if you no how to adjust your carbs instead of changing main jets mess with the clip on your needle jet, yeah all the wedge chassis are good for is climbing especially with an ultra motor and a 159, i am still working on swapping my ultra motor in, basically i dont have the cash to buy the engine plate a i need right now, but when i do:awesomework: also its gettin a 163 this time:stirpot:
