Pro lite Ride

[mmsports]

So first ride today and it was sick. The new track is freaking great. Sled was a bit rich and might need a little lighter weights but it was first ride extra oil in tank.

Nimble wow going to take a bit to get used to how easy it lays over. I am also just about fell off once the running bords are just a bit more narrow than stock but got use to it and never did it again.

So far I love it cant wait to get out again. It was so deep and bottom less today we got stuck a few times.

162 2010 M8 with SLP kit

-- BDX have any 153's left for sale?


--after it breaks in maybe use a 20 tooth top gear --just a guess though

With premix, do you still have to add extra with the first tank. What ratio are you using with the first tank?

 

[mmsports]

YES

I do the same as new motor added a cup per tank and then ran 32.1 plus a little race just for safety a gallon. I like to keep a big bore cool first ride and trust me it was cool.



I do call me in am will get you on its way to you.

SLP

How do you like the SLP pipe setup on the '10? What else has been done to it? Thinking of going to this setup with stock head and porting. Does it add to the under hood heat?

Thanks

 

[mmsports]

Stage 3 ??

Just pipe controller works real good I am interested in seeing the stage 3 run i would guess good.

After puting a few hundred hard mntn miles on my mostly stock 13 I would SURE love to pull the trigger on that 925 LOVE my 800 but that 925 would be bannanas

 

[av8er]

how does the pro- lite compare to a good boosted m8

I get that the pro- lite is at leat 30 lbs lighter with a 900 BB. I'm guessing under 190 Hp, but a 480 lbs - 250 HP turbo would be more fun.

 

[knifedge]

He said he would do it for 20k

 

[knifedge]

I should be able to have a better idea about purchase within 3 wks

Thanks, any comment on the heat issue?

 

[mmsports]

???

What are you talking about?

I rode the crap out of it deep snow and never blew a belt
Hand warmers worked well
Goggles fogged up
Got wet
I over heated
Sled ran great

Thanks, any comment on the heat issue?

So I think I am liking it more and more

New Pro lite is great very well almost to easy to tip. I had to move skies to middle stance and I think I might be fine this year with out Boost. Power is good throttle response is great and very light. O ya did I say I love the 2.6 Track. First NA sled I have rode that will pull over backwards if not careful.

Thought flickable was the buzz word.

Looks like it's running well. How's the belt doing?

 

[mmsports]

Belt??

I have worked the heck out of it Thursday my starter messed up and did not shut it off all day ran out of fuel have over 100 miles on belt not a single string.

Sorry about video I hit enhance and wow that sucks. Should be back to normal in a few.

What would you say is the best thing that bdx changed with their conversion?

 

[mmsports]

Other than the 60 Pounds they took off?

What would you say is the best thing that bdx changed with their conversion?

The lowering the spindles. If I had to pick one but its a whole package that works.

Thing it did not really need.

The bar on the air frames I see the need on the Ms but not on the pro you are already up high enough. I love that snow does not build up.

The adjustable post not a real big fan of the riser thing but it does give you more bar position options.

Things I can not stand on the Pro climb.

The fuel tank it seam to amaze me that the can go from having the best tank to the worst tank. I can not wait to see if the trail tank fixes it I think that it is ridicules that you can not put fuel in it with out it going everywhere. I have finally started filling jugs and the siphoning it slowly and that helps. That and I have already ran out of fuel which never happens at the beginning of the season due to the fact I always run out before the sled does but on my second ride the sled did before me.

I had a customer come down yesterday and I was doing a tune clinic on his BD turbo and when we switched off so I could make some adjustments to his turbo he got on the Pro Lite and I had a heck of a time getting him back on his 2010 M8 turbo he loved the Pro lite especially in the trees . He said it was 20 times better than the last Pro climb he rode. He said it was supper flick able and the track hooks like crazy.

So can you evols or exits with with the bdx spindles? I heard something about them hitting the shocks.

 

[XFIRE800]

So whats the consensus on the bdx front end kit? Does it actually handle differently, or does it just keep the spindle from hanging up and save some weight on the outside of the sled? Ive got a kit sitting in the shop but im not sure its worth the install time.

 

[WaBackcountry]

X2 minus the kit in the shop. Im wondering if I should order one. I just don't see the spindle height causing that much issue.
