Got to ride my RMK last weekend at the conditions were perfect. We dropped off into big snow filled valleys and it was clear and sunny all day. We found a bunch of untouched snow and tore it up for hours. The sled ran awesome. Here is what I changed this season:
Plugged the exhaust valves and it did make a difference in mid/top end
New front shocks that are adjustable (thanks MH) made a huge difference on the trails.
07 Spindles made a big difference in steering on both trails and in the trees (again thanks MH)
Skinz bumper that I didn't test and hope not too but it looks grreat. Nice to have something solid to grab onto on the front end.
And last but not least the Holz scratchers that I put down when we were on the hard pack and my temp went from 150ish to a solid 120 and stayed there even when I varied the speed. Tons of snow onto the hifax also.
I couldn't be happier with this sled. Tons of low end torque and there wasn't anything I couldn't get through. I only got tired from having to ride up mid-hill and dig others out.
The only bummer is I tweaked the Right lower A-arm again! Don't know what I hit but the right side sits back just a little further than the left. You can't tell unless you are standing up on the sled and look down at the ski's. Just turns a little harder to the left on hard-pack.
Thank you to everyone on here for all the help and advice for making this sled a keeper. I have a bunch of time off saved up and lots of spring riding left.
