HP?

av8er · Feb 17, 2014

Jkinzer · Feb 17, 2014

Low end is strong

Sold the PRO RMK did ya... Looks like a nice sled Jeremy!!

That can reminds me of the anchor on the 900 rmks!

kidwoo · Feb 17, 2014

Tunnel still says 8000 on it.

I'd buy it but it's clear the important details haven't been addressed.

That thing looks like it's pretty damn fun.

Sweet sled!!!! I have a stock one other then Kelsey's head and MDS clutching and man do I love that sled but am thinking of a bb over the summer. You added a timing key then? Why not go with a PC5 with timing? I have only ever used a bd box but just wondering?

cowkiller · Feb 17, 2014

Nice build... I have a stock 2014 and it is a nice sled. I like the idea of a big block and I like Kelsey's stuff. maybe this summer.
I really like the opening/closing of the video as well!

bd box's are much more user friendly than a power commander and being able to adjust on the fly on the mountain and not have to carry a lap top is a huge plus as well (although kelsey's numbers were spot on for this kit, i have not touched a number yet) we changed the flywheel key to advance the timing

ArcticJunkie · Feb 18, 2014

Yes they are did you get the new bd box then I think its the 13 pos one? Also are you running an egt or afr at all?

yes its the new box with the 6 settings per rpm range
i have an afr here that i was going to put on but the numbers from Kelsey were spot on so far so not installing unless i feel there is more to gain

Nice video!

How does it compare to the Poo 858?

I have spent some time on a RKT 925 in the old M chassis and was pretty impressed.

Jkinzer · Feb 18, 2014

for a down right tight tree riding sled that still has the power to climb i would take the pro858 with the 3". The pro's ability to side hill in any direction (up,down, left, right and every direction in between) at slower speeds is unbeatable for riding tight terrain. The Proclimb doesn't hold a candle to the pro in that scenario.

However, after spending a couple days getting used to the chassis and knowing that theres even more power to be had once i get the right clutching in today and get my rpm's up to 8500-8550 where their suppose to be, i can honestly say that the overall fun factor is there with the 925! more low end and more top end (low on r's it was about a wash to the top end on my 858, the customer who bought it was with me sunday)

On top of the power i have never felt so comfortable jumping a snowmobile as i did on the 14 cat, and it makes re-entries a walk in the park, the overall handling is great, down the trail not that it really matters but it is super stable through choppy whoops and you can really get after it. The stock ski's leave a lot on the table, grippers or powder pros would def. be a good upgrade, have been playing with the rear suspension to cure the wheelie issues and it worked well Sunday. I'm hoping with more time on it and i can figure out how to ride it to make it side hill slowly down hill and controlled as i do my pros, but we'll see.

The only thing i can honestly say that i truly hated about the sled is the steering post bushings.... their getting swapped out with zbroz today, steering slop after 50 miles is not acceptable.

last but not least the 2.6 power claw works very well, and i do not see a reason to swap out to the X3, i almost did the swap with out even trying it until i talked to a few guys on here that had, and i'm happy i didnt

Nice! Very strong running sled.

coolx2 · Feb 19, 2014

What did you do to keep it from wheelieing. I'm having a hard time keeping my front down.Thanks

Jkinzer · Feb 20, 2014

as of now, just running 135 in the rear shock and a single turn on the front track shock, looking into changing the mounting points on the rails and in the tunnel if need be, but running the shocks as stated seemed to help a lot, doesnt ride near as good down the trail with the rear shock that full but handles way better off trail

BigFish BC · Feb 20, 2014

could always do the kiss coupler from zbros for wheelie control.

are you running twins or a single pipe sounds nice.

Jkinzer · Feb 20, 2014

in the video it is stock pipe with superQ can, have a JAWS single on the way for it though now

ArcticJunkie · Feb 21, 2014

Sweet!!!! Let us know how the pipe is with it!!!!
