ive got a 17 yeti and its an absolute joke on the ice trails. zero confidence with the ski and it always seems to want to wash out and wipe out. I can barely even turn the thing, it just wants to go straight, then when I really muscle and force it to turn, it slides out half the time. very frustrating.
tried riding last week... wiped out 3 times on the ice road in at full speed within 10 mins, slid about 80'. bent my bars, rage quit and went home and want to sell this fking thing now. riding just isnt fun anymore. the conditions need to be PERFECT otherwise the snowbike is an absolute nightmare in anything less than deep pow. once again, first impression ride with some guys and they were NOT impressed with me, or my snowbike. pretty sad.
bridge crossings, road crossings, wind swept spots, ice patches... all scare the **** out of me and make me not even want to ride this thing anymore. I think the end is near.
am I the only one that struggles like mad on the ice roads?
heres a short little video of my last ride... went down within 2 minutes of each other on the trail in. in the video it seems like I hit a chunk of dirt and made me wipe out, but the other two wipeouts (not on camera) I didnt hit anything. either way, my 17 yeti SUCKS on the ice roads and anything thats not deep powder it seems.
