IDAHO HOT SHOT
Well-known member
After last seasons nightmare with my 09 800, it is AWESOME to have this sled finally running good. I installed SLP twins on the new sled before it left the shop. It ran good for a couple rides and then not so good. What I thought to failing clutching turned out to be a slowly failing motor. Just a little less compression every ride. I had the update done this fall and then sent the head to Carl's for the 30% race gas cut. I also installed a 153 Powerclaw track. This thing hooks up very well and the track speed is amazing. I did not look at the actual speed, but it feels pretty dam good.I am running 8050-8200 RPM's. I could stand 200 more but I an VERY impressed with this set up. I don't want to start a war, but there were a few "other brand" sleds there with longer tracks that were not keeping up. The longer tracks did show up as the north slope snow got deeper. Now I would like to see or ride a 163 with twins just to see how good it works in the deeeep stuff. I am running 62 Belly Busters, Blue/ Pink primary, 58/40 helix, stock sec spring, 19-41 gears. I'm only a tank and a half into the updated motor. Im wondering if I should let it break in more before I start dinkin around with clutching or what. If anyone has any input, feel free to chime in.
