What bike do you have setup as a snowbike?
- Thread starter off road rider
- Start date

Yep, just have to get use to kickstart on the left side. Also I have to fix the starter, it's not reliable.
I noticed there isn't a lot of people riding hondas. Is there a reason for that? I'm becoming more and more interested in snow bikes and have always rode honda dirt bikes. I'm not a honda loyalist by any means, just curious. I think if I were to build a snow bike I'd go with ktm.
I think you answered your own question,Fuel njection, electric start, pretty hard to beat the combo,

KTM Super Enduro 950R. :crazy:

interesting
That is an interesting build for sure!! Looks like an adapted sled spindle up front, did you fab the rest yourself or is this a European kit that I am unfamiliar with??
Love the concept!!

It is a european kit for shure. Because I have built it my self. 
The spindle is a venture spindle wich I made a notch and welded a tube and a strut on.

KTM950
Excellent!! I enjoy seeing creative ideas put to test in the real world.
So how does the 950 work, can you utilize the big KTM power? Does it shift alright? What track did you go with?

I have posted this data in the http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352628
thread but here it comes again.
I've been running a 2.86 pitch 137 by 16" Ripsaw with 1,25" luggs and a cross country with 1,75" luggs on my Super Enduro 950R. The Ripsaw had a rather high but still working 16-20/17-17 gearing wich gave a 17.8" roll out. It never reached the revstop and got up to just over 80mph. When I put the Cross country track on I decided to try a lower 16-20/15/17 gearing wich gave a 15.8" roll out and a top speed of 76 mph easily reaching the revstop. This season I will try something in between on my new "ufo/TEDEsled/Hans Hjort Evo 2" kit. I'll be driving a 2.52 pitch 120 by 16" cross country with 1,75" luggs with a 16-21/21-21 gearing resulting in just under 17" of roll out and a top speed of about 80mph. If it hits the revstop too easily I can allways try a 17 tooth sprocket on the engine witch should give an probably unreachable top speed of about 86mph :face-icon-small-ton
Here's a couple of vids as well...
This is a nice little movie made by a friend of mine.

I'm getting my 2011 Yz450 ready for the snow, it's my first Timbersled. I'm trying to wire heated grips which I'm going to try to get power from my tuner plug in. Would wiring in a headlight as well be to much for the stator to handle? I really like the looks of your penetrator 600 series.
Thanks,

I used 2 LED "dually" flood lights from rigid industries on my 2011 yz450f. seemed to use hardly any power and tapped into the fuel tuner plug like you are saying. before that, I had two 55w halogens and it wouldnt start very easily if I left the switch on, but once it was running it had no problems.
Sorry I missed this
Our 600 is a plug and play for the FI YZ. In fact we now have kits for all the EFI bikes.
They come complete with everything you need and will outshine any compact LED on the market.

How do you like the KTM 350? Enough power in the snow?
