Any 141 PowerClaw M1000's out there?

[DwayneC]

anyone out there sporting a 141 powerclaw on an m1000? how does it go in the deep? been crappy snow conditions last 2 years and wondering if i really need a 162, starting to miss my old 144...

09 M1000, High Flow Intake, Speedwerx Y, MBRP Can, Fuel Pressure Reg, AEM Wideband...

ull get the 144 next year and then it will snow ridiculously lots....like always

got an 09 cf1000 with a PC, holz front end, modest amount of mods & it consistently (despite who's riding) climbs with similar M1000's that I ride with.

Got a buddy with an 07 m1k 153 with the same mods plus better clutching than me & it outclimbs his consistently. (it is lighter, being an 09 & being a 141 obviously though)

The only days when I feel that a 153 would be nice are the 3-3.5+ days. Even on those days I just have to be more careful than I would have been on my other sleds & I have yet to not get somewhere the other normal sleds can go. My wife's 15psi hcr on the other hand... yeah, it'll go places I can't, but nobody else can get there either!!

I've had a number of 153's (and still have the 153 turbo hcr) and two 156's, and after almost two years on the 141, my next sled will be another 141, but with a turbo. Even with the power of her sled, I'm SO happy to get back on my sled, and every time she gets on mine she wishes hers felt like mine does.

I can't say it any other way, I LOVE THE SHORTER TRACK!!!!!

Btw, as a disclaimer, I ride 70-80+ days a year & spend most of those days jumping & dropping cornices, but most of our jumps & cornices require some hefty climbing to get to them. I enjoy the extra little bit of challenge the 141 gives you, but it's really not much difference over all.

His screen name is shanny on here, shoot him a PM & hear it from him.

He's popped on here & said the same thing a number of times.

One thing that lots of guys just don't seem to get, the shorter track carries significantly higher track speed, also if you don't understand the difference between the stock 07 track & a PC track, you don't belong in this conversation.

I'm not a guy who has an ego about "how badass my sled is", I made this thing to be a fun toy, not to be the baddest thing on the hill. I've had that sled & it took the fun out of things, nothing was a challenge anymore. After getting this sled built though, we were extremely impressed & surprised with how well it climbs.

You wanna call bulls^*t, I could care less... ride a sled with a 141 PC compared to a 153 challenger... then come talk.

 

[DwayneC]

what do you see for track speed?

I have a new 800 CF with a 141 powerclaw. Unreal where this sled can go. I had my doubts but it showed me. I can get anywhere the other sleds will go. I Love it, and would highly recommend it if your under 200lbs.

There is a huge difference in the 07 track and the PowerClaw. We were in Cooke late last week and the difference was amazing, especially when things were a little icy!

I love my 141. 153's just aren't as fun and this sled goes the same places they do.

 

[DwayneC]

I used to go anywhere on my twin piped 02 summit 700 with a 144, cant imagine it with 170hp and 141 powerclaw, should be aiming for the moon with the lever to the bar...

 

[minet]

im 250 lbs without gear, so 300 + rdy 2 ride

how far would a guy my size get in the deep , im guessing the 141 fans are 150- 170 lbs ? /shrug

 

[DwayneC]

well im 205 before gear...

 

[backcountryislife]

I'm 195, and carry quite a bit of gear & an avy pack. The sled went on a diet, not me!!!

btw, I see between high 50's & mid to high 60's (in deep fluffy stuff, 68 is the highest consistent number I've seen)for track speed, but I ride only above 10k, and most of my riding is 11,5-13k, so you'd see much higher track speeds at lower elevations obviously.

I'm 200 lbs nude.

I can't say 141" will go everywhere 153" goes but 141" surely goes where I want to go. In deep and pretty steep trees 141" will wheelie over but that's just fun Well mine is just 800cc.

x2, only thing I noticed between my 09 cf800 and the 153's I rode is that it washes out a bit sooner sidehilling than I would like, otherwise I have more fun with the skis in the air busting around through stuff than I could imagine with a 153...

 

[Mjunkie]

I've always defended the 141's and always will. I'm 215 without gear and usually himark even in the deep stuff, but I do have 300 more cc's than stock...

 

[sledneck_03]

i like the comment "can go where any other sleds can go" well a 600 CF 136 with a cobra 1.25 with a 140 lb kid went everywhere we went. You just can climb anything............if trees and bowls are your thing it will be fine but dont expect to climb really anything unless its spring snow and prepare to ride on someones track alot to get bowl to bowl. Ive seen the difference between a stock 1000 153, stock 162 and mod 162 and ill tell you in that order the next can out climb the next. I see a mod 162 pull at least 10mph higher track speed and pass a stock 153 up a hill and high mark him by alot...........
