Cure for the trenchmaster M1000?

lol you couldn't just ride your sled there? :p

Road was dry as a bone about 1/2 mile from where we unloaded....I walked a long ways. It wont happen again!!

My buddies evidently had made a pact...If I wasnt back by 9:00 PM they were gonna sacrifice Kevs new M1000 down dry asphalt roadway to find help.....

That would have sucked.

I guess it would have sucked worse if they sacrificed my new XP as It was my fault.:o
 
Does he have the 153''? My buddy has one and his seems to trench way worse than mine in any snow condition.
 
Ok, I'm confused, what happened to the HCR??? He switched from the 8 to the 1000? I thought I saw a pic of the hcr in your driveway?

Bought the HCR and left it at Powerworld to get a can, handguards, setup etc..etc...

Buddy realized that at 250 Nekkid with a bad habit of having his Assbox glued to the seat...That saving 3 grand and buying the M1000 instead was probably a better option.

That and reading through some of you and the others postings on the 190HP beast that rages within literally a few hundred bucks away?

No Brainer at our altitude when you are fat.

On a stocker M1000 with a can my buddy can sit down peg the gas and climb that thing like a bigass billy goat! The torque and grunt of that thing is pretty cool.

I'm fat too weigh 230 and pert near have some little pangs of buyers remorse as for what I have spent on my XP I could be riding a properly setup 200HP pump gas M1000......With lots of change left for gas money!!

Time will tell.:cool:
 
sounds like a faulty rear shock and a lazy rider to me... not the sled

The shock is shot. Ordered a new one on warranty today.....

I kinda think that a 153" 1000 anything is gonna trench a lil' bit without some good setup and throttle control though. That things essentially spins the track like a top fuel dragster staging before the 1/4 mile run!
 
So what's the verdict on Trenchy? Is he going in for some test and tune time this weekend? Is KingKev chomping at the bit to tear off an a-arm yet?
 
Clutch trench'n

Stock off the floor 1000 with trenching issues can be spelled clutching issues.

So............ you're about to cut the wrong dog.

1. the post on correct clutch / belt deflection is critical.
2. stock gearing, harder to keep from trenching...............so you actually want to cure it? start with good gearing.

3. 99% of all the 1000 I've been around all engage WAY TO HIGH, ok its alright for those that are high already, but you bought a sled with TORQUE, why clutch it to engage like an old 440 race sled ?? Get a grip........at a little lower rpm. Check threads.........go low, you got the torque.

4. If that sled won't engage and creep along at a walking speed them move to the midwest or stick to the trails.

5. check track tension make sure its LOOOOSE enough, fat guys are going to ride halfway through the shock stroke where the track is often too tight! and the sled wants to hesitate before it can break that tight track loose, then take off trenching.

6 and obviously there is no help for pilgrims and throttle jockeys until they get stuck a lot off by them selves , when sometimes lots of things start to clearify themslevles and being manifesting its self more thinking , throttle control, and better riding technique.



5 check all 105 post on keeping thos cat clutch's clean and the belt and don't ride them right out of the crate without proper service.
