2009 M8 First ride

[MtnCrazy]

Cool lookin sled, can't wait to try one!!!

 

[garciava]

some of the best riding I have seen.

made me go buy a new 09 M8 162

 

[SPDFREEK]

Got one sitting in the garage. That vid made me drool. Where those sleds 162"s? I am new to mountain sledding and can't wait to play in the mountains. I have a 162" and was told it would be hard to handle....I am thinking with the weight savings that I'll be just fine. Any input on that?? Thanks for that vid...supposed to bet to -8 degrees here tonight. Lots of snow on the mountains.

The beauty of the M-series is it's one of the easiest sleds to handle. I think you'll be just fine.

Is the rear of your seat supposed to be like that, or does running the BOSS seat require you to remove the stock seat lugs?

I like that you can take the seats off and thaw them out, it would bum me out if the BOSS seat wasn't designed that way.

Dumb question I know, but I haven't been riding in 10 years, and the wait for my '09 is killing me.

 

[mmsports]

No you do not need to remove seat lugs.

Side vents

153" as shown below.

sry, i had to do it.

What are the side vents you have there??? Should I be getting a set of those for my sled??? Heard these sleds have a heat issue???

Those look like fastlane vents they cost 100.00 and no the M8's stock do not have any real heat issues, however, I also bought some fastlanes for my new 09 M8 as the cooler you keep the clutching the better.

 

[GlennRMK]

That was great video. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

Those look like the Mountain fit vents to me. Had those on my M7 for about 1.5 seasons and had no problems.

Probably will buy again, if I get another M.

they are FASTLANE VENTs, they look good but the construction is pretty cheap. imo.

 

[GlennRMK]

Sled looks great!!!!

 

[anziconda]

Wow....

A 650 lb '97 Powder extreme 136 will climb as good in those conditions....

I am sure the new M's will be great, but what a LAME video to try to sell them.

Glad to hear that you're probably the best rider in the world. You don't even need to waste money on snowmobile videos. Nobody in any of them could match you...even if you were on a 1000 lb 40 hp machine. Before you say something as stupid as the above post, wait 10 seconds and think before you type...you sir are a jackazz!!!!

WTF

What a stupid post, I have rode those old machines, try and sidehill, and spin around like that on an old 97 powder special.

Great Video, those new sleds look awesome!

 

[VTMTcowboy]

Pretty neat video. Definitely getting me pumped for the winter months!

 

[VTMTcowboy]

Dang those are some gnarly rails! Makes the skid look really different and cool!
