Well did you pick up some hose clamps? You got twice the need! ?

I switched the 7S screens on my sleds tonight and it seems the miles and hours carry with the screen, however it still shows my 9R in break in with both screens. And the CEL light is on both screens.

Is that the elusive, gonna change snowmobiling forever, if it ever gets here, 2025 Cat 850 sled?

Oh another note, I had the EV thing go off and rode all day with a CEL on my 9R. It's around 200 miles and probably 75% break in. Didn't seem to affect the performance of the sled. I sure wish you could have been at Baker today to help me Rusty!

You must be kinda rich if you pay burandt and Caleb to be your friends lol? Do you hang with tourcoute (sp) too or Ross? You must be a beast to ride with Caleb! seems like those guys go as sketch as possible every time they ride! Cool fun far out!! Maybe we’ll see you in their videos too! Chadley for the win! I’d really like to watch that . My wife’s uncle has a sweet cabin in seeley ….of course I couldn’t make it into your riding zones to watch lol! **** Ian to old to be a cool kid that just sucks butt!

Bots have taken over snowest now

Cooke gets trampled quick. Don't know on seeley. I don't think it's that great. Lots of stumps and treasures at seeley. Snotel is deceiving because jocko site is on west side in reservation anyway. Caleb rides on rocks and stumps anyway. Nobody handier than him in that terrain. Montana snow just quit. Just like last year. Hoping april is the same. Best all year.

We went to kings Hill last weekend and found some good snow, but it was over an hour from the parking lots and didn't have much base. Anything close to the lots was trampled.

It's snowing in big sky right now, but it keeps starting and stopping and not amounting to anything.

It's depressing. Told my buddy I'm selling my sled so we can get snow again.

Yes, have to keep it covered in plain site to add to the never ending anticipation.

Chadly can you steer with your A Arm fix? I tried something similar with a friend last year and he lost most of his ability to steer. Wasn't sure if there's something we were missing

Yeah you can. The key to do it correctly is find a branch with a Y, like a sling shot to straddle the spindle, instead of attaching it to the spindle. The alternative is cutting the branch at an angle so it sits nicely behind the spindle, saddled in the ski. You just can't lock the spindle into the branch to still have steering.

I think it’s just a 10 year old.

I ain’t no bot! Iam chadlys only fan boy! Plus my dad allways said you should try and make friends with rich kids for tho obvious reasons. You tired old washed up’s are just jealous of chadley…

 

[Chadly]

His is 45%

The EV code went away. No longer have the CEL and it doesn't show up under diagnostics. I dropped the sled off at the dealer and having them plug into it to see if it shows up on their end.

Are any of you guys with 9R's going to post some decent video of them v.s. the 850 Polaris and the Doo's?

Nope!

Muskoka Freerider on youtube is supposed to get his 9R within the next couple weeks. He posts a video almost every day and has the new Gen 5 turbo. He'll have plenty of comparison content.

No video needed. It’s not close

It’s a chore, at least for me. But I can’t ride. I add a thick branch secured between the skis. I break lots of a-arms at times.

Nailed it, the 9R will ride circles around the Gen 5 in the gnar?
