Ride from Soapstone this Saturday?

[hatchers]

Rock Star. Thanks to you and Chief for todays ride. I learned a lot. Wellers is going to look over the XP and then I will figure out what next. We may have to drop the NOS system. They recomended bigger vent kit which im sure is good advice, but at $400 I will have to wait on that. Kepping 3 sleds runing is costing me more then my mortgag, but damn days like today make it all worth it. Thanks again.

most vent kits are overpriced and in the wrong locations

http://www.xxxmodrods.com/_mgxroot/page_10794.html has the cheapest and most effective vents for the XP, they cost $100

i would post a thread on the XP dootalk mtn forum with any doo related issues....saves time and money and ya learn somin

Sidenote - what is wrong with your XP? i had one last year

Vent kit

Hatchers. The vent kit on that xxxmods site are the ones that are on the sled now. I talked to (Mike I think) and he reccomemned muck larger vents.

The problems on Kevin's sled are not the vent size. Wasn't a heat problem today. When I was adjusting his belt after a hard climb it was COLD..

The NOS bottle was mounted where the forward part of the air box belonged. The air horn was left under the hood without even any flowrite material across it. Any steam made by powder hitting the pipe was sucked right into the intake.

If Kevin isn't going to use the NOS then he needs to get the air box put back together and maybe add the SLP secondary intake if he's worried about powder clogging the intake.

While watching him climb and hearing the bogg I'm much more concerned about float levels being too high and it's flooding, steam/powder ingestion into the intake, or the clutch sticking and not allowing the back shift.

I saw you truck, we left the parking lot about 10:15am. I looked for the FisherPrice red sled but never saw it. But we ended up back in the trees north east of Wolf Creek Summit and played there until we were on fumes.

Anyone know the deal with the Cat demo ride up from the Duechesne side? We saw signs all over the trail up from that side and we saw one of those 2 up turbo 1000 trail sleds blast by.

It was a great day, snow was awesome, but as Rock said, COLD. I've become a wimp when it comes to the cold.

WTF?...open air box under the hood?....put the intake back as it was, add some type (SLP/FROGSKINS) prefilter material to the carb mounted air box, this large intake box will slide out with ease....ive done this to a few sleds and no XP on the planet will run without bogging in deep powder with the stock intake format

put the nos bottle next to a aftermarket can, this is the only spot it will fit, or a BOSS seat with a nos pouch

Ya Hatch. Chief was the one that noticed the problem cause I had no idea. I told Wellers to look it all over and recommend solutions from there. I will let you know what they find.

Mine was doing the same thing last year, my rollers were toast.

 

[Rock Star]

with about 700 miles on that XP I suggested he have the clutch parts looked at. That seems to be when stock secondary springs go soft and rollers wear on a Doo. Mountain use is hard on things. Same clutch parts on a trail sled in the east seem to go 4x as long. it seemed like clutching to me but the pow was deep and his intake was open for snow dust so...
