Felker's clutch setup for 09 154X

[Dbook]

Spoke with Brooke at the show. She cleared things up and helped a bunch. Still don't have $700 to drop on clutching. I'm just gonna go back to my 08 clutching as it performed very well for me.

Looked for ya all day Donnie.

Walked in right after you talked to Brooke. Walked around and looked for you then hung out by the Felker and Braap wraps booth until about three.

I know you will not believe this... I don't know all of Lynn's secrets.. But I do know that whitey isn't a big bore.. Stock pipe,, with HPS can.. The engine has been ported... Other little things.. But all put together,, works very well.. They call me The King of Shmo's Swear to God..

Wow, that is hard to believe but you would know more than me. That is awesome. Would have to say that is the fastest stockish sled I have ever seen run.

And to whoever said Lynn was not there.... I was told by multiple people there that the guy in the leather cap was Lynn. If not, oh well. The identity of the Whitey sled owner or whoever ran it is not nearly as important as the performence conversation.

The sled , the myth , the legend

That is it. One bad sled. I believe fastest I have seen as a stockish sled

It's hard to believe, but those sneaky Felkers sleds race with little 600cc motors just to keep it fair cuz their $700.00 clutching is so spot-on.

....and they measure their tunnels using metric rulers.

I really wish that I could figure out a way to get that setup. My curiosity is peaking.

Can I get a sponshure?

Seriously, though I do wish I could get that setup. I don't drag, I find it boring but I do like a good climb and find myself wishing that there was some more oomph when I needed it.

 

[SNOMAN1174]

I stand corrected and apologize if I misled anyone into thinking that "Whitey" as we now know it had Juice. That thing is just one tuned in beast. Sorry Lynn, you got your clutch sh*t dialed in.

Mr. SKI-DOO Here, I've been using Felker since 94 and my freinds with RMX setups usually need two seasons to catch up to my felker setups. He's worth the money. A lot of my fellow riders are switching to Ski-doo, and I hope I had some influence in that. Cant wait for this season. Rabbit Ears on thanksgiving anyone?

Sounds like they for sure know how to set up a sled if the stated facts are true.

My question is what part of their offered clutch set up is spent on actual parts vs R&D and labor?

Does anybody have this answer?

 

[MtnDoo]

Dizzle....

The secret is out.

As Larry the Cable guy would say..."Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!"

last season i was out at the snowies during that 5 day ,5foot snow storm , on the 4th day @ lake marie we pulled up to some xp's that were sitting there . i got off my xp went over to talk to them , i noticed the 2 xp's had 174 tracks under them ,and another xp was going up and down lake marie with a ton of snow on it. the 174's were not trying it, i wasnt trying it (going up lake marie) the snow was so deep it was something just to get to there. i said to those guys who is that guy . the guy was literally climbing lake marie ,and he was the only one making any tracks or attempting the hill climb , and i might add he was making it to the top , any way the guys said that is our "dealer" lynn felker . i said i have heard of him and his set up , but i couldnt believe he was climbing that hill he is a pretty big guy also. now his sled was a xp 163 when he came down and stoped i had to shake the mans hand . i was impressed.one of these days i will have a felker set up.

The setup is spot on, but make no mistake, the real performance and the name for the sled is in the wrap

well duh...its all about the stickers!



So nobody knows the parts cost vs labour. Not asking to reveal any secrets just some cost information?

Rooster Built......seen in action, huge improvement.

That's what I bought. And it was weird cause I only spent $340,
yet he also asked me all these questions.
1. model
2. year
3. track length
4. rider weight
5.riding altitude
6.riding style
7.what other mods to sled

It didn't cost me a dime extra for all that caring.

Then he went on to recommend gearing, pin weight, clicker setting and
even target RPM's, All free of charge.

Thanks Paul for caring.

Saw them run some serious sleds at Fairview many times, they never do say whats in the setup but I've seen many turbo's get spanked in a drag race by there 800's, all I know is there skidoo's were not turboed, other then that you can only imagine what they were actually running.

Their sleds seem to always run real well down there. Props to them on that for sure, I would love next time they are in Utah to spend a day away from fairview riding with them in the back country.

Seems these "double secret" setups have a shelf life of about a year. Eventually someone has to brag it up or pop his hood and soon it's posted all over SW

I have the Felker clutch set up and love it. Makes a huge difference in the sled performance. I like the fact he sets the clutching up for Snowrange where I do all my riding. I wouldn't hesitate to spend the extra coin on his clutch set up. It just flat out works. Are there other people out there with a good clutch set up? Probably, but locally you won't find a better dealer. Spend the money with him and he will take care of you and answer all you questions. I spent hours over the years asking questions and learning about my sled from him. He really knows the skidoo sleds and how to make them work. I like the fact that I can go down in person and talk to the guy that is setting up my sled and get all my questions answered.

All I know is I had $25.30 in material for the graphics for Whitey and I charged him over $300 for it. Nobody complains about me making money. (to my face anyway - but thats cause I'm such a big guy I'd love to find a home builder to build me a home for the cost of material only. Its really ok, I'll go on record and say I have no prob with anybody making money. There will still be people to complain that Rooster Built charges too much and others that say I don't charge enough for the value they received. Its all relative - You determine the value for yourself and buy accordingly and happy shopping. Just beware, if everybody has a problem with dealers (and any business owner for that matter) making money, that business will not be able to survive and that could suck bad for our sport to lose dealers like Felkers. Buy a sled from Felkers and I'm pretty sure it comes with the set-up. Or buy a used Felker sled so the original owner can buy a new one with the new set-up because they will likely be repeat customers after riding one and dealing with them - that reminds me = For Sale, 2003 Rev, Stock motor, Stock pipe, Felker set-up, Braap Wraps wrap, 100mph plus with 2 1/2" paddles riding double with the wife on the back. And yes it still goes up hills. Make an offer... opening bid is $650

Well said...now what will you charge me for a sweet wrap like you had on Quinton's sled? Wait a minute, I bust a hood a year Very nice work. Wish I could have one, but I got pistons to buy and all sorts of crap to fix on the old M. Maybe when the stock market rebounds Oh, I'll give you $651 for the Rev!
