Love these videos!! Teaching my son about sledding stuff and this makes it way easier!

@DIGIT9 4 года назад

Right on Lee! That’s a good idea for us to make some videos geared toward the young snappers and what they can do for tuning.

2019 zr8000 limited. Clutches come off just as easy? Got a set of weights and new spring by end of the week. Loved those vids as well! Will start doing this in the spring. Great video man.

Appreciate that Josh! We have much more DIY stuff coming. Thanks for watching. Make sure you subscribe and it’s great to have you aboard man! Seeing that you have a ZR, you most certainly will get some good info from us. We have a video about arctic cat scratchers coming up that you won’t want to miss.

Good Points. However I thought Cat guys drive Black Dodge.......I remember my first sled 81 Yamaha SRX440. Won many poker rally’s, drags, etc on that sled. I never did any maintenance to it. Filled it up and go. Kept it for 8 years. That Little Yamaha was a Tank. Nothing ever broke. This is a good video. Thank You.

@DIGIT9 4 года назад

Lol...I like this guy Imtada! Welcome aboard man and thanks for watching. Hopefully you subscribed so you can drop more of these golden comments on future vids. Crushed the thumb...lol. 🤙

@dougwilliamson3927 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. I loved the cleaning clutches one two. When you change your chain case oil at the end of the year. Do you change it at the beginning of the year too.

@DIGIT9 2 года назад

Nope , I change it once a yr , either when I have time putting sled away for summer or when getting ready in the fall !

@fricot_21 4 года назад

Lovin your content! You guys are supplying some very easily digestible knowledge. Keep up the great work! Maybe to a comparison video as to the difference in summerizing an EFI sled vs. a carb sled? On the newer EFI style sleds, do you recommend fogging the motor for summerization as well? Sleds I have are a 16' RMK 155" and a 05' Renegade X 800 137"

@DIGIT9 4 года назад

Never been a big fan of "Fogging " the engine ! I've always drained fuel tank , drain carbs , put a bit of oil down each cylinder , and called it good ! Fuel Inj sleds are a bit different ! Still dont like fogging ! Little fuel stabilizer in tank , run sled for a bit , then drain as much out of tank as you can ! Still put oil down cylinders and call it good !

@fricot_21 4 года назад

DIGIT9 thanks for the response and wealth of information! I will be sure to take these steps over the coming weeks to prep my sleds for summer! Do you let your sleds sit all summer or do you periodically start them and get them up to temp every few weeks?

@DIGIT9 4 года назад

I start them once a month ! I always seem to be working on one or two of them over the summer , so like to get a shot of that 2stroke smell every once in awhile !!

@fricot_21 4 года назад

DIGIT9 good stuff!! Yah I’ve been on the fence about foggin cause I also plan to be workin on them throughout the summer. Thanks for the advice; you guys rock! Stay safe!

@lukesmith9144 Год назад

What are you talking about? It says in my polaris manual to spin the track on a stand every time before you ride. Also why would only polaris do that?

@chrisfitts5564 Год назад

Good vid! Curious why you say fogging is a waste of time. I know the sleds make it harder to do/access. But I have always fogged or at least put mystery oil in the cylinders. Engine corrosion, in my opinion, is more of a concern than track adjustment or annual clutch work. Both of which are great ideas.

@DIGIT9 Год назад

My opinion is that oil is better for the engine than the fog !

@theoneandonlytudryn Год назад

Does that mean you start it up during your storage if you don't fog ?

@DIGIT9 Год назад

Im usually working on my sleds throughout the summer , so I try to start each of them atleast once a month run them for 2-3 mins !

@kdsberman 2 года назад

Very nice video! I am new to snowmobiling, and have a Polaris Indy LXT that ive been trying to really keep maintained by the book. I was just wondering, washing it up, is there anything on the underneath that I should avoid hitting with a hose or power washer? Or can I soak it pretty good without any issues. Thank u!

@DIGIT9 2 года назад

Its a snowmobile , used to being wet , just dont drive it with wet clutchs !

@nonipaulette4520 3 года назад

Hey Rick your thoughts on changing the chaincase oil in the fall? I change all of the fluids for my boat in the spring as season starts. Just so the freshest stuff is being used. Could this logic apply to sled chaincase fluid too?

@DIGIT9 3 года назад

Ya that will work too ! Just a preference !

@sucapizda 3 года назад

Wow wow wow wow, what do you mean you cant run a Polaris ( best sled ever made ) on a stand???? Can you elaborate on this!! Thanx.

Do you perform any corrosion prevention under the hood at all? Ive heard of people spraying wd40 on pipes and such

@DIGIT9 Год назад

No , I dont do anything like that ! Just keep things clean !

@joerutkowsky3261 2 года назад

So leaving it up on the stand is bad for the rear suspension? If I have a lift like yours ?

@DIGIT9 2 года назад

Better to lift whole sled off of ground ! Lifting just the back , puts all the weight on front springs and compresses them !

@bigdaddyironnuts9012 Год назад

Why in the world would you use sta-bil. Your fuel and water separates. I use sea foam in my corvette, simplicity mower, Harley Davison, and both Arctic cats. Never a problem. Just my two cents.

Your ridiculas with your maintenance! lol for as much money as i blow snowmobiling u think I care about 300 bucks in clutch springs and other random parts every 3 lyears. I've blown tracks right off and not just because of a lack of maintenance, just because I'm deadly AF haha jk keep the vids coming
