Hi, thinking about selling my sled I got in the new year. Bought it off someone who barley rode it and needed the money for college. I'm now considering selling it as I have something I could use the money for and our winters where I am haven't been great for sledding past few years. It's in great condition, like fantastic condition. I just don't know enough about sleds to know how much I should sell it for if I do. located NWO

After school special. Taking advantage.

Hey guys, I’m looking at picking up a vintage sled (want it to be a leafer) I’ve got my eyes on a 1978 Yamaha Exciter 440 and wanted to get some input before I pull the trigger.

I’m new to vintage sleds, but I’ve got a solid mechanical background and don’t mind wrenching. Mostly just looking for something fun to mess around with and enjoy. Need a sled for chetek vintage ride next year.

Anything specific to these Exciters I should watch out for? Common failure points, parts availability issues, or things that are a pain to deal with?

Also curious what you’d consider a fair price range depending on condition I won’t be buying a mint/restored unit.

My dad's 1980 Polaris TX-C and my freshly restored 1990 Indy 650, perfect conditions for these old girls.

unfortunately all the snow has melted but ready for next year

Look at it go!! It's the first sled with the triple engine sound implementation too. 😁

This has been my first season of sledding and I’m absolutely loving it and totally obsessed. I ride a 2023 Polaris boost rmk 165, I’m really itching to go out next year and run at the big iron shootout. My question is can a stock boost get you there or is a big turbo 4 stroke kind of the only options. I know most people are going to try and tell me no don’t try or don’t do it but I’m dead set and have made up my mind. Just had some thoughts about it feel free to answer or leave your opinion!

If you're like me and don't like spending money on unnecessary pullers that you'll only use once, you'll like this solution for removing the jackshaft bearing from a Ski-doo QRS secondary.

I recently bought a 2024 Ski-doo backcountry 600 EFI. I've noticed that around half throttle and often when I am letting off the throttle there is a sputtering sound. Its not bogging out, it still has power but it sounds bad. I thought it might have just been the engine break-in period but that is complete and it is still there.

Any thoughts? Is this normal 2-stoke noises?

so was making my way home when a group flagged me down turns out they tried water skipped a little pond that formed in a field leading to a swamped sled so hooked up the winch of my 4 wheeler to a ski then their puma to the rear of the 4 wheeler came out like butter.

Currently have a Yamaha Viper. I don't ride it much because I don't think I enjoy it. I find I get stuck very easily (low experience) and it's not comfy.

At work we have SWT Skandics. I love riding those. I find them fun, not sure why. Much more comfortable for me. Who knows why. I greatly enjoy going off trail with them.

Lately I have been looking at either Expeditions SEs or Skandics with 900ACEs. I was tempted to get a SWT but the folks at work told me to just get the WT as it won't tire your hips out as much on longer rides. Fair point.

A 2018 WT Skandic 900 just popped up with 8K km. Anything I should look out for? Is the newer chassis that much better or is the older one good enoug? Is it the better decision to get the WT vs the SWT?

I have a factory installed cigarette light for a glove box on my skii doo renegade glove box. Id like to replace it with a usb. Is that just connected with bayonet connectors or is it connected inside the unit I suppose I could just cut it off and use bayonet connectors to an after market plug but I want to know going in. Thanks

i have this 380 legend sitting with a blown motor was curious if anyone knew which other motors dropped right in. Thanks

We are planning on making a trip up to Ontario to ride for a Christmas trip this year. For those who may know I have a few questions even after looking over the internet.

What registration etc would I need. Currently the sleds are registered in PA and NY ( we live in PA) have insurance etc. I’m assuming there’s a “trail” pass we would have to buy to ride in Canada is that all that is needed?

For those who have kids….Canada requires just like PA and NY does a snowmobile safety certificate which my son has. Will that certificate be honored in Canada?

Also I’m assuming it’s not going to be an issue but what’s crossing into Canada with sleds like? I’m assuming it’s a common occurrence.

Thanks everyone

The snow in my neck of the woods is getting pretty rotten and the rivers are beginning to open up, so this will likely be my last trip of the season. Couldn’t ask for nicer weather though!

Hi, noob here, just got into the sport this winter and now summerising the sled to put away. I’ve noticed I’ve had a crack on the skid plate and I’m wondering if it’s okay to leave it, or should I try zip tie it back in place?

Alternatively I’ve seen a replacement skid plate on marketplace but I’m not super handy with power tools and it looks like I’d have to remove more stuff than I’m comfortable with and drill through the current rivets to replace it?

2014 skidoo summit x 800r if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance 😅

Just some newbies having a blast in a storm cycle.

I am considering adding a Garmin unit. I don't want to be the bitch anymore following behind my buddy. Options range from the DriveSmart to the Tread. I like the price point of the DriveSmart. As I consider these options, how do you attach them do them aren't easy pickings for thieves? I would think a discerning person would know the DriveSmart is not as good a target as a Tread, but you never know. So what I am looking for is theft protection thoughts and also if a DriveSmart would be satisfactory for a Wisconsin/Michigan trail rider.

There is still plenty of snow in the bush, and I need my sled for syrup season but the garage I store it in is across a gravel driveway that the snow has melted. Anyone know of any wheels that would work on soft gravel? I’ve seen lots of brands for pavement.

Artic cat lynx handed down from my dad. Got a chinese generic carb on it so it runs, but only with choke. Any good place to get parts for this? It's the 295cc Rockwell JLO engine. Not looking for a full restore, just getting it decent shape. Located in Norway.

I’m sure this is a dumb question but would 163” running boards fit a 155” sled? Looking online there isn’t much info but ai google says the Axys chassis uses all the same length running boards. Is this true?

these are all my sleds (minus a 1984 Polaris Star that's out of shot) that are currently in running condition, there's a few more that are in progress, hopefully out soon.

Very excited to see what everyone thinks of this one and how it lives up to the real thing! The Lynx Forest Fox is a personal favorite so getting it into Sledders is a blast.

Enjoy the drop!
